Splicing disaster film with monster movie and gothic mansion horror, this is the most unconventional Jurassic film of them all. If you thought T.

Why should the guys have all the fun? After nearly six years in the slammer, Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) – Danny’s sister – promises the parole board she’ll be a good girl.
