We have a liquor license and can handle large parties. 586 Main St. Call 649-2865 by Rick Brough RECORD GUEST WRITER The Lost World Jeff Goldblum gets to deliver his own review of The Lost World, as he warns a couple of dinosaur watchers, "First, it's 'oohs' and 'aahs,' but later there's the running and the screaming." Steven Spielberg delivers enough thrills and juicy special spe-cial effects to keep the audience audi-ence from feeling cheated after standing in those long lines. But shed of its novelty, the director is clearly repeating himself with a lively, but overgrown, over-grown, B movie. Richard Attenborough returns briefly, as Disney-esque entrepreneur entrepre-neur John Hammond, to reveal that there's another island teeming teem-ing with dinosaurs the breeding center for Jurassic Park. And, having learned his lesson, he wants to maintain the island as a dino-preserve, free from the exploitations of man. Goldblum's Ian Malcolm (whose career hit the skids when his tales of dinosaurs were disbelieved) disbe-lieved) refuses Hammond's offer to lead a new scientific team, until he finds that his naturalist girlfriend (Julianne Moore) has already gone to the island. From the start, Malcolm seems out of sorts or is that Goldblum, reacting to his dialogue? (When a character remarks they're probably proba-bly on a wild goose chase, Goldblum replies, "Except this is the only place in the world where the geese chase you.") Early on the film, the other characters come off as lunkheads who v V...

Rex. He even goes so far as to capture and torment a baby Rex in order to lure its parents. Much of the soggy plot is forgiven for-given once the dinosaurs swing into action.

Malcolm's annoying teenage daughter (Vanessa Lee Chester) stows away on the expedition. expe-dition. Worst of all, a competing team roars in, led by Hammond's slowly, slowly cracking; and we meet some "cute new creatures called "gombies" half chicken, half lizard that can swarm over victims in a second to nibble them to death. There are some genuinely jaw-dropping jaw-dropping moments when it just seems impossible that the stars are interacting with special effects. (The visual effects are supervised by Dennis Muren; the live-action dinos by Stan Winston.) The plot, with several parallels to "King Kong," reaches its somewhat-jokey climax when the T. Rex breaks loose in San Diego. The reaction of a typical suburban family to a dinosaur in their backyard is priceless. And an in-joke features screenwriter David Koepp as a victim (billed in the closing credits as "Unlucky Bastard"). If you're looking for anything profound here, you might draw some parallels between the Rex family and Goldblum, whose heroism redeems his previously-absent previously-absent relationship with the two women in his life. (Sure, he can save them from prehistoric . predators, but can he show lup at a single school recital?) One irony in Spielbergs mega-buck movie is that sev eral of his supporting cast made their names in independents. indepen-dents. Peter Stormare, the sullen blond killer of Fargo, plays a brute who suffers a demise much worse than being fed into a woodchipper. And Vince Vaughan, the Lothario from Swingers, plays a secondary hero. (Maybe he told Spielberg, "You're money.")
