They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore: Jaws

Jaws

-this watershed 1975 American thriller film, directed by Steven Spielberg, about a giant man-eating great white shark does not fail to awe almost 40 years later!

The score which precedes the shark's arrival, the dialogues between the stars: the worried police chief, Martin Brody ( Scheider), the Ivy league -educated uppity oceanographer, Matt Hooper ( Dreyfuss) and the obsessed shark hunter, Quint (Shaw) was pure joy at times, the technological marvel at the time ( the mechanical inflatable Shark)

... and of course, Brody's famous line on sighting the Shark: " you're gonna need a bigger boat!"

 

Great flick!

How Good Was Being Mary Jane?

How Good Was Being Mary Jane?

One to watch out for: Being Mary Jane

How good was the 60 mins Trailer which was shown a few days ago? Very good!! Brilliant storyline and great acting.

"Having babies cannot be your biggest accomplishment in life" "Do you have any diseases I need to know about?" Stealing Sperm!! It had everything

Gabrielle Union ( Mary Jane Paul) nailed her main role with ruthless aplomb. She was 'Like A Boss'.

Sharp clothes, great acting, punch lines....this Trailer had everything! If the upcoming Series ( starting in Jan 2014) is any good, she'll give Scandal's Olivia Pope ( Kerry Washington) a run for her money....as the baddest Chick in town!
