Welcome to the challenge Rebecca :)
I know I watched them, but only one I can remember (probably cause of multiple watching :P) is first one.
I started this challenge forever ago, but finally finished! Had some trouble grabbing a couple of the letters: 
Apparently I trick people with cuteness, then eat their face off. Sounds like me.

Oh sure. If not, I'm sure Owen Grady will be around to help protect everyone. Or just to make me run into a few walls because I'm staring at him. :-)

Well, as owner of it, I'm sure you'll have other people who can do running around for you, while you are sitting in nice office checking on security cameras. Of course, as dedicated owner, you'd make sure that Owen is keeping everyone safe :P
*please don't hold it against me, but I had to google him first. Couldn't put face to the name (or other way around?)*

No problem on the googling. I'd probably be the same way at times and give you a blank stare until you said "Jurassic World" to me. :-)
