Pros: Great acting, great soundtrack, great story and direction.
Cons: None
Summary: If you could remake any movie you want, what would you do to it and who would be in it? It’s a very fun thing to imagine. This is my second in a series of movies that I will “remake.” This isn't because I don't like how it was done the first time, or ... read more

Pros: Tense action, marvelous performances, pinpoint direction
Cons: Some heavy-handed dialogue and plot
Summary: Steven Spielberg once said that when he looks back on "Jaws," he remembers a time when he was either more adventurous, or more stupid; he's not sure which. I like to think that's it's a little of both. While the impeccable, audience-friendly eye that ... read more

Pros: Frightening. Musical score adds to tension
Cons: Might be too powerful for some kids.

Pros: Gripping cinematography, classic horror, unforgettable characters
Cons: Shark a little mechanical? I don't know any, so it's hard to say
Summary: Okay, okay, so I'm 27 years old, and there are tons of Classics I haven't seen. I only saw "Goonies" a year ago, after the relentless prodding of my friend Tim, and it's an okay flick. If I would have seen it when I was a pup, I would have liked it ... read more

Pros: alterations for the best
Cons: traumatizing
Summary: Generally, a movie based on a book is much much worse than the book itself. But one movie opposes this theory - Jaws. This is an example of a movie outshining its book immensely. The action starts right at the beginning of the movie and doesn't stop. ... read more
