Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

Is that the sound of a T-rex stomping its way toward us, or is Amanda Bynes back behind the wheel of a motor vehicle? The dinosaurs of Jurassic Park have insatiable appetites for destruction and leave a wake of chaos and fear wherever they go. Sounds a little like some of our favorite stars, right?

If we were casting Jurassic Park today, we might skip the tricky practical effects and hold off on the expensive CGI, because some of Hollywood’s most notorious stars could just as easily take those dino roles. They're larger than life, already used to being gawked at, and many of them should probably be contained behind an electrified fence. What could possibly be more fitting?

As part of our "Park Week" celebrating this Friday's release of the Spielberg blockbuster in 3D, check out our dinosaur casting ideas for an all-star Jurassic Park... after the jump!

It’s over, guys. It’s all finally over.

Another epic awards season has come to a close, with Les Miserables, Argo, Lincoln, and Silver Linings Playbook taking home the awards we’ve all been expecting them to win for months now.

But what will entertain us now?

Well, next year’s Oscar bait movie won’t be rolling out until much later in 2013, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a handful of films to look forward to in the meantime… for various reasons. Sure, some of these spring releases will probably be total misfires, but in the next couple of months (before summer movie season kicks off in early May with the release of Iron Man 3) there are still a few releases to hold us over. Twelve of them, to be exact.

Here are the 12 movies we're hoping will hold us over this spring!
