Reviews

The Wolfman Cometh

Patrick Cavanaugh

A miraculous achievement from all aspects, Spielberg weaves together drama, humor, adventure, and horror expertly and plays the audience like a fiddle. The main trio of stars are tremendous in their roles.

For the Win (USA Today)

Cory Woodroof

Jaws is the pinnacle of shark movies, one of the greatest films ever made and still as wholly terrifying and relentlessly fun as it was when it came out in 1975.

Anchored by performances by Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, and the inimitable Robert Shaw, the film is a poignant character study of men with vastly different reasons for embarking on a mission into the great unknown.

Not that it doesn’t pack scares and thrills, but it has a peculiarly ’70s appetite for small character detail.
