Once upon a time, a man named Peter Benchley wrote a little novel about a seaside town terrorized one summer by a 35-foot great-white shark. A little-known director by the name of Steven Spielberg picked up the script and begged the studio to let him ...

Pros: brilliantly filmed, visually engrossing, utterly fantastic
Cons: none

Jaws. Just to say the name still inspires fear in some people. Even now, some 26 years after its release, it still strikes a primal nerve. This movie single-handedly caused an entire generation to fear the water. And not just the ocean. All water. T ...

Pros: Action pack and full of suspense and drama.
Cons: nothing what so ever this is a must see movie over and over again.

This is my feelings about the movie jaws terror, fear of the unknown, scared to death of having a shark with teeth as big as an hour glass tearing away my flesh and feasting on my remains and each time the shark takes a bite his eyes would roll back ...

Pros: Much better than the book -- Benchley improved on his characters.
Cons: hard to find a flaw with this one.

JAWS the movie is a lot different than the novel but at the same time it is written by the same author, Peter Benchley. What I liked the best about this movie is the use of the suspense and you don't always see the shark. I saw the movie after ...

Pros: You name it!
Cons: The guy wasn't wearing any sneakers!

Generally, I would be loathe to begin a movie review with a spoiler, and in fact, have never done so yet. But if you are one of the half a dozen people in the country who has not seen Steven Spielberg’s spectacular shark epic “Jaws,” then you might want ...

Pros: Acting, cinematography, Spielberg's direction
Cons: Depiction of the commonality of shark attacks is inaccurate

Throughout his career, Steven Spielberg has been accused of juvenilizing the movie industry. Spielberg's critics contend that invention of the blockbuster has resulted in story and characters being sacrificed for special effects.

Pros: cinematography, cast, story, script, direction
Cons: characters

Dickie Goodman had a top five novelty hit, "Mr.
Jaws", which mixed his rapid-fire mock interviews
with answers that were snipped from contemporary
hit singles. It began something like this...

Announcer: "We are...

Pros: An oldie but goodie. The music alone can send shivers up your spine.
Cons: Not for small kids of course...or weak-stomached adults.

This was one of the first horror movies I ever saw as a teenager (many moons ago!) and it sticks in my mind as a true classic. The music alone can send shivers up your spine because you KNOW that Jaws is coming and someone is going to be bleeding soon. ...

I remember the first day my stepfather Peter, sat down next to water one of his favorite movies of all time. I was still too young to know what I was about to get into, for all I knew Jaws was just the scary plastic shark in the Universal Studios...

Pros: fantastic flick..you can watch it over and over with the same reaction
Cons: none

I saw this movie when it first came out...big screen...big sound. You could feel yourself cringe within the few opening frames...girl in water..legs dangling...Jaws had your eyes glued to the screen right from the start.

The town of Amity was...

Pros: Three of the best actors ever cast
Cons: I haven't seen any yet!

Forget all this '....just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...' hype! It's started again now, since they've put it on DVD!
I suppose most people think the fundamentals are 'Reading,wRiting and 'Rithmetic?! WRONG! It's more like...
