Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a dumb movie.
Now, if this were anyone else saying that, you could be sure that that is an insult indicative of the movie’s quality. But considering one of my favorite movies is a film about a demon-possessed bed that devours people who sleeps on it and feels like it was filmed by aliens who don’t understand human emotion and another of my favorite films is a movie written by, directed by, produced by, and starring the man who I think is the real-life version of Vandal Savage, we kind of need to go a bit deeper.
To me, there are three sorts of dumb movie: Hilariously Dumb, in which a film fails epically in what it sets out to do but ends up being enjoyable nonetheless (The Room is probably the example that stands out the best, but Saving Christmas and Battlefield Earth also come to mind), Just Plain Dumb in which the movie is just so inherently flawed there’s nothing to enjoy (I could list examples all day so let’s just say, uhhhh… The Emoji Movie, that’s the popular, relevant film to hate), and finally, and most importantly, Awesomely Dumb, a movie that turns being stupid into an art form but is just so damn cool doing it. Basically, it’s a stupid movie where you go in knowing what to expect, and you get it. The crowning achievement in this type of dumb is probably Pacific Rim, a movie so unabashedly dumb it is impossible to hate if you have a functioning brain. The Sharkando films also run on this principle. And let me tell you this, Fallen Kingdom runs on this principle too, because boy is this movie filled with stupid, but holy shit is it filled with awesome.
A few years after the events of the first movie and we have a public debate over whether the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar should be saved from extinction in light of an upcoming volcanic eruption that will wipe out the island. Jeff Goldblum in his two minute cameo at the start of the film thinks we should let them die as he explains the movies key concepts. Our old pal Claire disagrees, and after the super rich Benjamin Lockwood offers her the chance to save the dinosaurs - particularly Blue - she manages to rope Owen into helping out. What ensues is nothing short of the most epically stupid and stupidly epic series of dominoes ever seen, as bad things continue happening to the cast until the final act, where shit really hits the fan… the question is, can they make it out and maybe save the dinos from extinction? Or is this the final hurrah for the creations of John Hammond?
Let’s get the dumb out of the way first: there is so much wrong in this movie’s plot and how characters act you could write an essay on how stupid all these people behave. Why does this tech guy need to come to the island when he is shitting himself over literally everything? How do these tranqs that should be lethal to humans not kill humans? How does Chris Pratt not only survive being inches away from molten lava but also outrun a pyroclastic flow? How does Rexy keep being able to silently sneak up on people despite being the size of a house? How does… look, I could sit here all day and list the stupidity inherent in this film’s plot and the numerous artistic liberties taken with reality, but at the end of the day, doing all that is pointless for one very simple reason:
All of this is just so fucking fun.
Like yes, there is so much stupidity, but god is there a lot of fun. You have Ted Levine show up as a jerkass hunter, who manages to chew the scenery for all its worth and THEN do one of the single stupidest things in the entire movie in his final scene, something so absolutely beautifully stupid that another character in the scene pretty much breaks the fourth wall, amused as he is by the stupidity of Levine’s character. You have an evil auction of dinosaurs being shipped off to rich assholes, you have human cloning that may or may not have some raptor DNA involved, you have a new version of the I. rex except this time it’s a creepy-looking military-grade raptor, and you have explosions, lava, and dinosaurs galore.
The raptor, known as the Indoraptor, is easily the coolest thing in the movie. It harkens back not just to the villain of the first film - the raptor - but it harkens to all sorts of horror characters as well, from its Frankenstein genetics to its very Xenomorph-esque appearance and nature to its Nosferatu-inspired wall shadow moment to its deliciously gothic moment of roaring at the moon like a werewolf. Combined with its psychotic nature and its beautifully sadistic sense of humor, as well as its dragon-like design… well, we may get the closest we will ever see to Metroid’s Ridley on the big screen.
And that’s not to say there is no genuinely smart or well-done stuff. As depressingly short as it may be, Jeff Goldblum’s cameo is as good as everything else Jeff has been doing these past few years (though not up to the level of his performance in Ragnarok, sadly). The Mosasaurus, in its brief appearances, is nothing short of utterly terrifying, with the scene at the start of the film being nothing short of brilliant. That scene also gave Rexy some fun, and it is a fact she has never once had a bad showing in any of these films. There’s an awesome fight scene where Owen teams up with a dino and lays the smackdown to some goons, and there’s Blue, whose very existence is just an awesome moment. There’s a truly crushing, heartwrenching scene involving a brachiosaurus that, if you are a huge fan of the franchise, will leave you emotionally devastated for sure. And then there’s the ending. Oh sweet lord the ending. The ending opens up so many doors (literally) and fundamentally changes the meaning of a few things, including the title. Where this franchise goes from here is anyone’s guess, but by god is it going to be epic.
This movie is fun, plain and simple, a grand “turn off your brain and enjoy” action adventure. I wouldn’t say it’s anywhere near as good as the first one in terms of story, but by god does it deliver on action and adventure more than the first one. We’ve got a cast of likable characters, some truly “love to hate” villains, a lot of cool dinosaurs, explosions out the ass, Rexy and Blue, and a big fucking body count. This is the awesomely dumb dino mayhem Carnosaur wished it could be. Temper your expectations, check your brain at the door, and find a way to cope with the fact that Jeff Goldblum only appears for maybe four minutes, and you will most definitely have a fun time.

Oh She Glows For Dinner + Pre-order Bonus Bundle!
Hi everyone! I hope that summer is treating you well so far, and you’re staying in good health and good spirits during what has been a heartbreaking year. How are you and your families doing right now?
At long last, I have some fun news to share with you today! This cookbook reveal was supposed to go out to you in May, then in June, and then in early July, but with everything going on in the world it just didn’t feel right, so I delayed it multiple times. I’m not sure it feels right even now, but I’ve had a lot of questions about the new book’s listing on various retailers online, so I knew I couldn’t delay any longer. I’m holding onto the hope that this news will bring a smile to your face and a bit of cheer. :)
If you haven’t guessed already, my new cookbook, Oh She Glows for Dinner: Nourishing Plant-Based Meals To Keep You Glowing, is finally complete and it comes out in a couple of short months! It’s been a wild ride to cross the finish line (never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be wrapping up a cookbook during a pandemic and lockdown), but after 3 years of working away on this project, I’m absolutely thrilled to let you know all the juicy (pun intended) deets about this new book. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you may have seen the sneak peek pop into your inbox yesterday!
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes from earlier this year when I was going over the book design!
Shifting from “behind-the-scenes” mode to “in-the-spotlight” mode doesn’t come easily for me (I’m much more of a behind-the-scenes kinda gal!), so this “launching into the world” part of the creation process is a big challenge for me on a personal level, and oh boy, the nerves I have right now are unreal. I’d be perfectly happy to work away diligently behind-the-scenes and never have to self-promote. ;) Do any of you relate? I’m always up for a good challenge, though, and getting to reconnect with you all is the icing on the vegan cake!
This book would not have been possible without your encouragement, patience, and support throughout the whole process! It also wouldn’t have been possible without my small-but-mighty team made up of Nicole and Eric. They are my rocks, my sanity savers, my reasons for inappropriate fits of laughter, my sounding boards, my reminders to drink more caffeine and breathe, and it goes on. My incredible, diligent group of recipe testers (a special shout out and thank you to Anna, Carin, Tana, Tammy, Laurie, Caroline, Danielle, Vanessa, Lynn, Audrey, Stephanie D., Anne, Kathy, Stephanie S., Andrea, Beth, Katie, Lindsay M., Bridget, Laura, Lindsay V., Erin, Heather, Suzanne, Adrienne, Stephanie M., Carolina, Kirsten, Lori, Marina, and Kristen) have tested, and tested, and tested these recipes right alongside me and shared the most helpful feedback. And last but not least, I have so much gratitude for the amazing teams at Penguin Random House Canada and Avery!
I held this book in my hands for the first time last week! I can’t even tell you how fast my heart was a-thumpin’ when I opened the box! It is always slightly terrifying and thrilling to open one of my books for the first time, and it really never gets any easier to send my heart and soul’s work off into the world. But I am so darn proud of this book. It’s my very first hardcover book, too!
About this book
Oh She Glows for Dinner is a reflection of what you, my dear readers, have asked me for the most over the years—more plant-based, crowd-pleasing dinner recipes!
Dinner is something I think most of us have struggled with (I know I sure have!), and when you throw “plant-based” into the mix it can be even trickier to figure out. If you’ve ever shrugged your shoulders over what to make for a vegan meal and resorted to toast or a bowl of cereal, you certainly aren’t alone. I knew I had to create this cookbook to help answer the ever-burning “what’s for [plant-based] dinner?” question. As an added benefit, the recipes in this book also make incredible (and often portable) lunches! You’ll also find the perfect, satisfying sides to add to your dish, meal-worthy salads for every season, hearty & healing soups and stews, and a bounty of flavour-poppin’ sauces, dressings, parmesans, and pestos that you can make to change up the flavour profile (or simply punch up your dish even more). And I threw in a delicious dessert/drink chapter, of course, because it wouldn’t be an Oh She Glows cookbook without some sweet, healthified treats! ;)
What you’ll find inside:
Dietary and Cooking Labels
Each recipe indicates whether it is nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free, grain-free and/or oil-free, raw/no bake or one pot. Out of 106 vegan recipes in this cookbook, 101 are gluten-free or have a gluten-free option, 90 are nut-free or have a nut-free option, and nearly all are soy-free. I also share whether the recipe is kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, and/or if any advance prep is needed. My “on the glow” label tells you whether the recipe is portable. My goal was to pack in as much helpful info as I could for you (dare I say this is my most informative book yet?)…you know me, go big or go home…lol.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Almost all of the recipes in this cookbook also include specific storage and reheating instructions, customized to each recipe. My recipe testers and I spent so much time testing the recipes to take the guesswork out of them for you!
Active Time and Total Time
Each recipe tells you how much active time and total time will be required. Active time is the time you are actively preparing food in the kitchen. Total time reflects how long the recipe takes from start to finish. If applicable, we also share Soak time and/or Chill time.
Full-page colour photographs
I am so excited to share that I did the food photography and food styling for the recipes in this book – there are more than 100 of my photographs inside!
Glow Getter Meal Plans
This book includes 4 meal prep plans! Each time-saving plan provides step-by-step instructions, so you can prep or fully make 3 dinner recipes in just 60 to 90 minutes. I knew it was important to create plans that would actually work for a busy lifestyle. I’ve tried plans in the past that take 2.5 to 3 hours each week, and they just didn’t fit into my life. These plans don’t take long (60 to 90 minutes at a brisk pace) and they set you up with a few hearty meals each week!
Menus To Get Your Glow On
I also share my tried-and-true menus for special occasions or themed nights, such as Girls’ Night, Mother’s Day, Game Night, The Oh She Glows Cookbook Club Night, and more. If you have ever struggled with how to combine recipes for special meals, I really hope this will give you the inspo you need to simplify your planning. Don’t forget to check out our bonus bundle below as it includes 4 designed printable menus which correspond to menus found in the book!
Helpful Recipe Lists
My Helpful Recipe Lists index at the back of the book provides at-a-glance searching of recipes by allergy label or preference, so you can find all the gluten-free recipes grouped together in one spot, or all the kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, nut-free, one pot, and on the glow recipes.
My Pantry Staples, Kitchen Tools and Appliances
I’ve included a condensed list of the essential pantry items I keep on hand along with my favourite tools and appliances. If I have a preferred brand, I share those names with you, so you know exactly what I use in my own kitchen.
The Oh She Glows for Dinner Bonus Bundle is here!
The response to my pre-order bonus bundles for my previous two cookbooks was so enthusiastic, I knew I had to raise the bar and add in some exciting and unique new bonus features. This Oh She Glows for Dinner Bonus Bundle is definitely my favourite, most cheerful and creative pre-order bundle yet. All the *heart eye* emojis for this one. I had so much fun collaborating with local artist, Kayla Whitney, to create an adorable, custom Oh She Glows “Glow” downloadable art print for you to print and hang on your walls! This is my very first custom Oh She Glows print and it looks so bright and cheery on the wall. If you end up hanging the print in your house, we’d LOVE to see it! Simply tag it with #ohsheglowsfordinner on social media.
In addition to the “Glow” art print, you’ll receive 4 artfully designed Oh She Glows for Dinner menus to download and adorn your dinner table on special occasions. Super-handy Glow Getter Meal Plan printables from the new book will make prepping the plans even easier when your book arrives. It’s so convenient to print the meal plans and place them on your counter so you can cross things off as you work through the plan. Lastly, I couldn’t make you wait until October to get cooking, so I’ve included 4 advance recipes in this bundle—a few of my summer-friendly ones that we’ve been enjoying during this hot season!

Each recipe tells you how much active time and total time will be required. Active time is the time you are actively preparing food in the kitchen. Total time reflects how long the recipe takes from start to finish. If applicable, we also share Soak time and/or Chill time.
Full-page colour photographs
I am so excited to share that I did the food photography and food styling for the recipes in this book – there are more than 100 of my photographs inside!
Glow Getter Meal Plans
This book includes 4 meal prep plans! Each time-saving plan provides step-by-step instructions, so you can prep or fully make 3 dinner recipes in just 60 to 90 minutes. I knew it was important to create plans that would actually work for a busy lifestyle. I’ve tried plans in the past that take 2.5 to 3 hours each week, and they just didn’t fit into my life. These plans don’t take long (60 to 90 minutes at a brisk pace) and they set you up with a few hearty meals each week!
Menus To Get Your Glow On
I also share my tried-and-true menus for special occasions or themed nights, such as Girls’ Night, Mother’s Day, Game Night, The Oh She Glows Cookbook Club Night, and more. If you have ever struggled with how to combine recipes for special meals, I really hope this will give you the inspo you need to simplify your planning. Don’t forget to check out our bonus bundle below as it includes 4 designed printable menus which correspond to menus found in the book!
Helpful Recipe Lists
My Helpful Recipe Lists index at the back of the book provides at-a-glance searching of recipes by allergy label or preference, so you can find all the gluten-free recipes grouped together in one spot, or all the kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, nut-free, one pot, and on the glow recipes.
My Pantry Staples, Kitchen Tools and Appliances
I’ve included a condensed list of the essential pantry items I keep on hand along with my favourite tools and appliances. If I have a preferred brand, I share those names with you, so you know exactly what I use in my own kitchen.
The Oh She Glows for Dinner Bonus Bundle is here!
The response to my pre-order bonus bundles for my previous two cookbooks was so enthusiastic, I knew I had to raise the bar and add in some exciting and unique new bonus features. This Oh She Glows for Dinner Bonus Bundle is definitely my favourite, most cheerful and creative pre-order bundle yet. All the *heart eye* emojis for this one. I had so much fun collaborating with local artist, Kayla Whitney, to create an adorable, custom Oh She Glows “Glow” downloadable art print for you to print and hang on your walls! This is my very first custom Oh She Glows print and it looks so bright and cheery on the wall. If you end up hanging the print in your house, we’d LOVE to see it! Simply tag it with #ohsheglowsfordinner on social media.
In addition to the “Glow” art print, you’ll receive 4 artfully designed Oh She Glows for Dinner menus to download and adorn your dinner table on special occasions. Super-handy Glow Getter Meal Plan printables from the new book will make prepping the plans even easier when your book arrives. It’s so convenient to print the meal plans and place them on your counter so you can cross things off as you work through the plan. Lastly, I couldn’t make you wait until October to get cooking, so I’ve included 4 advance recipes in this bundle—a few of my summer-friendly ones that we’ve been enjoying during this hot season!

Oh She Glows For Dinner + Pre-order Bonus Bundle!
Hi everyone! I hope that summer is treating you well so far, and you’re staying in good health and good spirits during what has been a heartbreaking year. How are you and your families doing right now?
At long last, I have some fun news to share with you today! This cookbook reveal was supposed to go out to you in May, then in June, and then in early July, but with everything going on in the world it just didn’t feel right, so I delayed it multiple times. I’m not sure it feels right even now, but I’ve had a lot of questions about the new book’s listing on various retailers online, so I knew I couldn’t delay any longer. I’m holding onto the hope that this news will bring a smile to your face and a bit of cheer. :)
If you haven’t guessed already, my new cookbook, Oh She Glows for Dinner: Nourishing Plant-Based Meals To Keep You Glowing, is finally complete and it comes out in a couple of short months! It’s been a wild ride to cross the finish line (never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be wrapping up a cookbook during a pandemic and lockdown), but after 3 years of working away on this project, I’m absolutely thrilled to let you know all the juicy (pun intended) deets about this new book. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you may have seen the sneak peek pop into your inbox yesterday!
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes from earlier this year when I was going over the book design!
Shifting from “behind-the-scenes” mode to “in-the-spotlight” mode doesn’t come easily for me (I’m much more of a behind-the-scenes kinda gal!), so this “launching into the world” part of the creation process is a big challenge for me on a personal level, and oh boy, the nerves I have right now are unreal. I’d be perfectly happy to work away diligently behind-the-scenes and never have to self-promote. ;) Do any of you relate? I’m always up for a good challenge, though, and getting to reconnect with you all is the icing on the vegan cake!
This book would not have been possible without your encouragement, patience, and support throughout the whole process! It also wouldn’t have been possible without my small-but-mighty team made up of Nicole and Eric. They are my rocks, my sanity savers, my reasons for inappropriate fits of laughter, my sounding boards, my reminders to drink more caffeine and breathe, and it goes on. My incredible, diligent group of recipe testers (a special shout out and thank you to Anna, Carin, Tana, Tammy, Laurie, Caroline, Danielle, Vanessa, Lynn, Audrey, Stephanie D., Anne, Kathy, Stephanie S., Andrea, Beth, Katie, Lindsay M., Bridget, Laura, Lindsay V., Erin, Heather, Suzanne, Adrienne, Stephanie M., Carolina, Kirsten, Lori, Marina, and Kristen) have tested, and tested, and tested these recipes right alongside me and shared the most helpful feedback. And last but not least, I have so much gratitude for the amazing teams at Penguin Random House Canada and Avery!
I held this book in my hands for the first time last week! I can’t even tell you how fast my heart was a-thumpin’ when I opened the box! It is always slightly terrifying and thrilling to open one of my books for the first time, and it really never gets any easier to send my heart and soul’s work off into the world. But I am so darn proud of this book. It’s my very first hardcover book, too!
About this book
Oh She Glows for Dinner is a reflection of what you, my dear readers, have asked me for the most over the years—more plant-based, crowd-pleasing dinner recipes!
Dinner is something I think most of us have struggled with (I know I sure have!), and when you throw “plant-based” into the mix it can be even trickier to figure out. If you’ve ever shrugged your shoulders over what to make for a vegan meal and resorted to toast or a bowl of cereal, you certainly aren’t alone. I knew I had to create this cookbook to help answer the ever-burning “what’s for [plant-based] dinner?” question. As an added benefit, the recipes in this book also make incredible (and often portable) lunches! You’ll also find the perfect, satisfying sides to add to your dish, meal-worthy salads for every season, hearty & healing soups and stews, and a bounty of flavour-poppin’ sauces, dressings, parmesans, and pestos that you can make to change up the flavour profile (or simply punch up your dish even more). And I threw in a delicious dessert/drink chapter, of course, because it wouldn’t be an Oh She Glows cookbook without some sweet, healthified treats! ;)
What you’ll find inside:
Dietary and Cooking Labels
Each recipe indicates whether it is nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free, grain-free and/or oil-free, raw/no bake or one pot. Out of 106 vegan recipes in this cookbook, 101 are gluten-free or have a gluten-free option, 90 are nut-free or have a nut-free option, and nearly all are soy-free. I also share whether the recipe is kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, and/or if any advance prep is needed. My “on the glow” label tells you whether the recipe is portable. My goal was to pack in as much helpful info as I could for you (dare I say this is my most informative book yet?)…you know me, go big or go home…lol.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Almost all of the recipes in this cookbook also include specific storage and reheating instructions, customized to each recipe. My recipe testers and I spent so much time testing the recipes to take the guesswork out of them for you!
Active Time and Total Time
Each recipe tells you how much active time and total time will be required. Active time is the time you are actively preparing food in the kitchen. Total time reflects how long the recipe takes from start to finish. If applicable, we also share Soak time and/or Chill time.
