Jurrasic Park: The Lost World

A reviewer from Indonesia :

Good morning to all the fans of science-fiction movies. Welcome back with me, Putri Made Lestari, in an
adventure program, Science-fiction review. Do you still remember the story of Jurassic Park I? Great! I absolutely
love Jurassic Park and all the science fiction movies will always please the fans, including me. The Lost World is
Jurassic Park Part II, which is still about an island populated with real dinosaurs. Released in 1997.
This science-fiction adventure is the sequel to the box-office hit Jurassic Park (1993), in which a scientist
built a dinosaur theme park on a remote island. Although those dinosaurs were destroyed, there were still some left
on another island. Dr. Sarah Harding, played by Julianne Moore, and Dr. Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum,
travel to the island to observe the dinosaurs and try to prevent Roland Tembo who is played by Pete Postlethwaite
from rounding the beasts up and taking them to a theme park in the United States. The weather turns bad, the
dinosaurs become violent, and one of the angry beasts makes its way to Los Angeles, California. It’s very amazing,
isn’t it?
Okay audience, with me this morning is Mr.Steven Spielberg, the director of the Jurassic Park. Good
morning and welcome to Indonesia. I’d be glad to have your view on Jurassic Park.
Steven Spielberg: To be perfectly frank, this is not a science fiction, it’s science eventually. This movie,
however, wants you to learn one thing: you decide you can control nature, and from that moment on you’re in deep
trouble because you can’t do it. You can make a boat, but you can’t make the ocean. You can make an aeroplane, but
you can’t make the air. Your powers are much less than your dreams would have you believe.
The reviewer from Indonesia: Wow, Jurassic Park really deserves the highest praise. Thanks for joining with
Mr. Steven Spielberg and me. See you tomorrow on the same program. Bye.

REVIEW

The Guy Next Door

Meggin Cabot

A novel normally consists of chapters. But you will find none in this book. Why? Because it consists of e-
mails. Yep, you read me right, they are a bunch of e-mails from people who keep in touch with each other and talk
about all kinds of seemingly unrelated things, which somehow share a common thread, in a humorous way.
Melissa Fuller is a journalist working for the New York Journal. From her and her friend’s e-mails, we get
the impression that Melissa is an attractive, intelligent, red-haired single girl with a kind heart toward her friends
and animals. After an accident and some arrangements, she ends up living next door to a handsome stranger whom
she believes is the nephew of her elderly neigbor. Actually, he is not what he admits he is. But before she knows it,
they fall in love with each other. Will she be able to accept the fact that the gorgeous guy next door has been lying to
her even though they both share the same feelings?
Meggin Cabot alias Meggin Patricia Cabot is also the writer of the successful teenage series The Princess’
Diaries. The Guy Next Door is her debut in the genre of contemporary adult novel. It discusses relationships,
working environments, and solving a mystery from many people’s different point of view. Just like her other books,
The Guy Next Door is amusing, refreshing, and enlightening altogether. I wonder what this and other writers will do
next, create a novel out of cluster of SMS’s, perhaps? THAT would be cool. Ully
