PICK: Jurassic Park

Paleo diet: Thanks to Steven Speilberg’s Jurassic Park, we learned that theme parks populated by cloned dinosaurs are a bad idea. Revisit the Costa Rican island where plans for a new tourist attraction go horribly awry when the dinosaurs break out and go on the attack.

Saturday 7/17, $5-8, 3 and 7pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net.
