Jurassic Park III (2001)

This is the not so good one with Téa Leoni and William H Macy playing the annoying parents of a boy we little care about who has been lost alone on the Site B island of Jurassic Park - the one good thing the annoying couple do in order to get help locating their boy is trick Dr Alan Grant to return to the park (and so back into the series after an absence from number two).

Room (2015)

** SPOILER ALERT **

'Room' opens with "Ma" and a boy living in a confined space they call 'Room' and from there the pleasures of this movie in order are wondering at the nature of their strange circumstances, experiencing the really truly heart-stopping suspense of the film's revelatory escape scene, then being surprised by the film's unexpected, protracted and extremely emotional second half, but these parts are greater than the whole - the movie finishes and you realise what 'Room' in fact is: a narrative-free voyeuristic "these are the sorts of things that happen when" checklist.
