Jaws

[Ivy]

Summary: In the beautiful quaint beach resort of Amity Island, something hideous, something so deliciously evil has vanquished the tranquility and shattered the peace. First, it violently took the life of a young girl, leaving her mangled remains rotting on the beach, her echoed screams cursing the night skies. Next, it moved its attention to the children, ripping and tearing as blood turned the calm waters red. Then, just when they thought it was safe to go back in the water, it struck again, mercilessly rampaging in the estuary and attacking the piers where the fisherman unknowingly sat waiting for a catch. Now, something must be done, before it returns to feed. With the Amity tourist board and town Mayor Larry Vaugn determined to keep the beaches open for the Summer Season, its up to Police Chief Brody, marine biologist Matt Hooper and colorful fisherman Quint to hunt down the 2 ton White Death and put an end to the bloodshed. They are definetely going to need a bigger boat.

Review: This is a great movie for its' time, released in 1975. For the people back then to be able to construct a remote controlled shark is pretty good for their limits on technology. Yes, you can tell the shark is fake, but it still makes you think twice before going into the water. The book is 3x as good as the movie, except they're dealing with a 55 foot megladon shark and all that. However, after seeing this movie I decided to read the book on a vacation to the beach. I was sitting in the shallows of the ocean in a little fold-out-chair, and when reading that book, and thinking about the movie, I have to say I literally picked my feet up out the water and sat on them until they went numb, then I walked quickly to the sandy-shore so I could get sand in places I never knew existed, ah, don't we love the beach???
