Okay fine, don't tell me why. You're prerogative obviously.
And you views on Sharknado vs Jurassic Park officially makes you off your rocker. But hey your opinion.

A Groundbreaking Epic of It's Time About Dinosaurs (1993)
It's been so long since I've seen this. I didn't realise it was so bad. Full of boring cliches and stereotypes, filler dialogue, emotionless monotone acting, implausible events and inconsistencies. What a pile of triceratops manure. I bailed after 12 excruciating minutes. Now I remember why I hadn't watched it for so long.

And I think you're severely underrating it. Yes, it has flaws, but as a thrilling blockbuster adventure movie, I don't think it has dated one single bit.
Practically every major Hollywood production has certain questionable plot turns to it, at the service of delivering more thrills. You always need to have a certain "suspension of disbelief" while watching this kind of movies or otherwise you won't be able to enjoy any of them.
Jurassic Park still is a classic piece of visual entertainment, in my opinion.

Out of the Furnace (2013)
This is a pretty bleak film that's fairly slow moving, but tense. I thought it was very strong all around and the deep cast is excellent. I don't have any negative thoughts at all about it. For me, it falls a little short of greatness due to the lack of any real wow moments to make it memorable, and the very end could've been a little more out of the box. My wife didn't care for it, but I would recommend it definitely.

Yeah, I agree with your wife on this one. I think I originally gave it a

Alien³ - 3.5/5
I had not seen this film in a very long time, but I always remember it more for its polarized reception than anything else. After giving it another view, I'm a little surprised that reviews are so polarized and that a large number of people despise this entry into the Alien franchise. Despite its flaws--characters are flat, the script is weak, and much of the acting is barely passable--the film is entertaining and moves quickly. The action is well done and there are many intense and thrilling scenes. While the script's dialogue is weak, the film does manage to put forth some interesting themes: religion, faith, feminism, and masculism to name a few.

Ikiru (1952)
My third Kurosawa and more proof that he's a master filmmaker. His movies have grabbed me immediately and they don't let go. This was an excellent, thought provoking movie.

La Notte (1961)
I didn't dislike this in any way; I just really had a hard time maintaining interest in it.

How can you judge a film after watching just 12 minutes of it? You don't even get to see the dinosaurs until almost an hour into the film.

Jurassic Park is boring. Always has been. I'd rather watch The Marriage of Maria Braun again. That's not really a good thing.

Not everything has to be intellectual and deep. Sometimes a good thrill is all that is needed.
