SUMMARY: A St. Louis man, 29-year-old Perkins, was sentenced to 34 years in prison for a series of robberies captured on video across five convenience stores in 2023. During the crimes, Perkins used a gun to intimidate workers and fled with only $1,650, much of which he lost in one incident when cash flew from his coat. At sentencing, Perkins caused a stir by firing his attorney, rejecting the court’s authority, and questioning the validity of all U.S. laws while claiming he came “in peace.” Despite his defiance, the judge imposed a lengthy federal sentence following a jury conviction.

SUMMARY: Kathy Kaiser reviews three recent releases. “Jurassic World Rebirth” is a thrilling reboot echoing the original “Jurassic Park,” featuring Scarlett Johansson and a compelling story about kids in dinosaur chaos. It’s fun, exciting, and worth the wait for dino fans. “The Old Guard” remake on Netflix, starring Charlize Theron, offers solid action but a somewhat stagnant storyline, rating mediocre. Lastly, Apple TV’s “Smoke,” a gripping slow-burn crime drama about serial arsonists in 1980s California, shines with strong storytelling and suspense, earning high praise. Overall, “Jurassic World Rebirth” and “Smoke” come highly recommended for different audiences.
