Jurassic World: Rebirth review — the best since Spielberg's original
The narrative reins have been restored to David Koepp, writer of Carlito's Way and Panic Room, who left the franchise after the second film, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, just when it was beginning to curdle. He returns here in some style, performing a miracle rescue job on a series that had dissolved into repetition due to its inability to answer one fundamental question: how do you make dinosaurs interesting in a dramatic environment in which they are unexceptional? The answer had previously been to make them bigger, more ferocious and more abundant. The most recent, and execrable, Jurassic World Dominion, concluded with humankind and dinosaurs sharing the planet. But Koepp cleverly flips that script and almost fully wipes them out again.

EXCLUSIVE Bravo star flees the US and locks down her social media accounts after death threats from viewers
One of Bravo's most controversial stars has left the US and locked down her social media accounts after getting death threats from viewers. Janet Caperna, who is the main antagonist on The Valley, fled to Switzerland with husband Jason and their 18-month-old son Cameron this week. The 35-year-old also locked down her Instagram page due to relentless trolling and death threats towards both herself and her child from fans of the show. In screenshots provided to online trolls are seen attacking Janet and her family in a series of vile messages. 'I hope you rot like you deserve,' wrote one. 'I hope your child grows up absolutely hating you.' Another wrote, 'I know where you live. I've seen where your son goes when you're not with him.' When contacted by for comment, Janet said that she was speaking out about the abuse to highlight how serious online trolling has become. 'I'm sick of threats and slurs being normalized because "we signed up for this when we joined reality TV." 'That's sick and not normal and I'm not ever going to pretend it's normal or acceptable to message strangers threats and slurs,' she said. 'It's sad to me that people go this far, it's definitely the worst part about this "job,"' she continued. 'I'm learning how to put boundaries on social media in place and learning as I go. I support healthy dialogue around reality TV and think some of the best conversations about modern culture stem from shows like ours. 'I'm far from perfect, and people are seeing the best and worst of all of us when we put our lives in front of cameras. My hope is people can have fun conversations about reality TV without going as far as some have recently.' The former celebrity assistant also went into detail about some of the vile threats she's received on the latest episode of her podcast, This Side of the Hill. 'I'm gonna read a couple and they're really just not nice,' her podcast co-host Jared Lipscomb said. 'I hope you die a slow and painful death, you are so ugly. Are you actually a man? You are evil and I wish death upon you, you piece of s**t,' read one. Another message said, 'It's a shame your son is still breathing you little [n-word] lover.' Janet then explained that one of her most dedicated trolls had looked up the names of her family members online and then sent her hateful messages about them. 'This isn't constructive criticism,' Janet said. 'I understand that I put my life out there and I'm gonna get comments, good and bad, this isn't that,' she said. Both Janet and Jared also said that they were shocked to see that the majority of the hateful comments were coming from seemingly 'normal and sweet' women. One woman that threatened Janet was a successful family photographer, while another woman had photos of herself being a mom to her young son. 'It makes me wonder, how many people throughout my day am I interacting with that are like this behind closed doors?' she asked. 'Like, when I'm checking out at the grocery store, is that person messaging someone that they don't like hate like this?' Janet also alluded to one of her co-stars, who she referred to as a former friend, interacting with negative comments about her online. 'I had a former friend who responded to someone's comment questioning the safety of my child, questioning whether I had a drinking problem,' she said. 'This former friend decided to respond with a laughing, jokey emoji and I'm so disappointed in that,' she continued. She appeared to be referring to Doute, who has been interacting with negative comments about Janet on Instagram and Threads. Meanwhile, The Valley is nearing the end of its explosive second season and preparing to start filming season three soon. On social media, there have been calls from viewers to fire both Janet and longtime villain Jax Taylor. While Janet's ongoing feuds with Kristen Doute, Nia Sanchez and Danny Booko have rubbed viewers the wrong way, Jax has disturbed the fanbase through his actions towards estranged wife Brittany Cartwright. In one episode, it was revealed that Jax had been spying on Brittany through security cameras in her home. He also send her dozens of 'rage texts' from rehab where he was being treated for mental health issues and a cocaine addiction. While no casting decisions have been made, understands that production are looking to expand the cast rather than fire people. 'Fans on social media are always calling for controversial people to be fired and it's usually to the detriment of the show,' one insider revealed. 'The network is worried that if they get rid of all the villains then the show will suffer, so they're leaning towards expanding the cast rather than reducing it,' they continued. 'The current cast have all submitted their friends to production and interviews are well underway. 'A bigger friend group will be more dynamic and nobody is going to have to film with people that they don't want to be around,' they added. The Valley is currently airing on Bravo and available to stream on Peacock.

Why ex-Fox announcer Joe Buck felt 'sick' over Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims gaffe in 2017
Longtime sports broadcaster Joe Buck has admitted he felt 'sick' about misidentifying Jena Sims as Brooks Koepka's ex during the 2017 US Open. Sims was spotted supporting her then-boyfriend Koepka at the tournament as he won his very first major. But as Koepka celebrated the win, the veteran announcer Buck (who now works for ESPN) wrongly identified Sims as the golfer's ex-girlfriend, Becky Edwards. And while Sims - who is now married to Koepka - later told USA Today Sports that she forgave Buck for the error, the broadcaster felt awful about the mistake at the time. 'During that week of the U.S. Open, [I had a producer] making me appear way smarter than I actually am or way more well-read or way more well-versed in the PGA Tour than I otherwise would have been, and he handed me a card with the wrong name on there, I read the card and then, [Brad] Faxon corrected and said, no, that's his new girlfriend, Jena Sims,' Buck recalled on the JustIn Time Podcast, via the New York Post. 'I felt, that I was sick about. Because we had been taking punch after punch on Fox Golf, and it was like the last thing we had on the air before we said goodbye, and we'd been on for five days, all day and it was, it was a lot of work and I was like, 'Oh my God, I let everybody down by that stupid, embarrassing moment', and you feel like the world's talking about it and really nobody cares.' Buck had a chance to rectify his mistake the following year as Koepka won the US Open again. He's reached a total of five major wins since then, and wed Sims in 2022. The couple welcomed their son, Crew, in 2023. 'I do my best every time I go on the air, I make countless mistakes,' Buck added on the podcast. 'Not everything that comes out of my mouth is something that I'm proud of, not every note I have is right, and we live in a world that's more gotcha than pat ya on the back.' Koepka, 35, made waves in 2022 when joined LIV - reportedly for a $100million contract. Despite that, he was allowed to compete in the 2023 PGA Championship and won the competition despite being part of the Saudi-backed league. Koepka has not won a major since and has particularly struggled this year, missing the cut at both the PGA Championship and the PGA Championship. He fared better at the US Open as he tied for 12th.
