All good things come to those who wait. That being said the reason why Blu-ray was invented is finally here. Steven Spielberg's Jaws, arguably the first and the greatest summer movie ever made, in addition to being one of the best American films of all-time, has been given a complete digital 4K restoration derived from the original camera negative. The results are magnificent. A far cry from the McA DiscoVision laser disc, the Capacitance Electronic Disc (Ced) by RCA, the VHS tape, the 20th anniversary letterboxed laser disc, or even the past two previous DVD incarnations (which were admittedly pretty decent), the new Blu-ray most closely approximates what it was like to see Jaws for the first time in movie theaters in the summer of 1975. Best of all, the Blu-ray cover retains artist Roger Kastel’s iconic poster art.

If I remember correctly, Stephen King's "Cujo" was the first book to scare me, but the first movie to haunt my dreams was Steven Spielberg's Jaws. With "Cujo" it was just a thought that two red eyes were staring out of my closet at me (I was very young by the way). With Jaws it was a couple of things. First the image of the giant shark leaping out of the water, though if memory serves, I don't even believe I could see a shark, just the giant splashing. Fitting if you think about it. Second was that piercing screech that accompanies the shot of Ben Gardner's head popping out of a hole in his boat. I know now the latter scene was shot in a swimming pool in editor Verna Fields' backyard. Yet, where it was shot doesn't make the scene any less effective and...

One thing our parents and grandparents probably never could have imagined is the video trailer that's become so popular for book releases. And today we have a brand new one to share for Steve Alten's prequel entitled Meg: Origins, which is sold in all eBook formats and promises to be another nail-biting, terrifying journey into the Mariana Trench to a time when sea monsters ruled the oceans.
From the Press Release:
As a teenager, NY Times best-selling author Steve Alten read Jaws – little did he know then how it would change his life forever. While devouring everything he could find on great white sharks and the true accounts of their attacks on man, he discovered their prehistoric cousin – the Megalodon – a 70-foot, 500-ton version of the great white shark. Even though Megs were easily the most formidable creatures ever to have existed, Alten was surprised to find very...

It's been over 35 years since a "rogue" great white shark prowled the waters off of Martha's Vineyard and became the focal point of the first true summer blockbuster, Jaws. It seems that Bruce (the nickname of the shark in the film) loved the area so much that he's coming home on Tuesday, July 13th, for a special screening of a very cool documentary about his film's cultural legacy.
The Martha's Vineyard Film Society is set to kick off its summer film series with the local premiere of The Shark is Still Working -- the definitive documentary of all things Jaws. Erik Hollander's two hour opus isn't so much a chronicle of how hard it was to make Jaws -- although that material is covered, and the title is a play on familiar refrain heard on the island during shooting: "The shark is not working." -- but how the film...

The 6th annual Portland Underground Film Festival is ready to once again take over the historic Clinton St. Theater for four straight nights of demented and deranged movies on June 10-13.
The big highlight of the event — from Bad Lit’s perspective — is the closing night film: The touching and heartwarming story of a man who became a beloved alien, clown and, most importantly, a vampire. That’s right, it’s Every Other Day Is Halloween, the documentary portrait of Dick Dyzel, who transformed himself into Bozo, Captain 20 and Count Gore DeVol on local Washington, D.C. TV.
As for the rest of the fest, there’s the always popular “Bike Porn” short film program; the made-in-Oregon feature The Corners; the Jaws documentary The Shark Is Still Working and more. Plus, don’t miss the short film program that includes Spree All the Way to Mexico, made by one of...

Anyone familiar with the making of Steven Spielberg's classic film Jaws will know that there were times when the making of the movie was a nightmare for everyone on set. In hindsight, though, it was definitely worth the trouble because of the influence the film has had and the devotion shown by its many fans.
None of those fans can be more devoted that the makers of The Shark is Still Working (Tsisw). Tsisw is an independently-made documentary that oozes adoration for Jaws. Nonetheless, it manages to be nautical miles better than many making-of features Hollywood puts out as glorified advertising for its products. It was produced by uber-Jaws fans James Gelet (Grizzly Park, The Marks of a Cult: A Biblical Analysis), Jake Gove (webmaster of JAWSmovie.com), J. Michael Roddy (The Psycho Legacy), and director and Jaws prop collector Erik Hollander (Grizzly Park). The appreciation these people...

The Shark is Still Working Directed by: Erik Hollander Written by: James Gelet There's no two ways about it -- Jaws is a landmark film in every sense of the word. It launched the career of the most famous director of all-time, provided the template for the summer blockbuster, and had such a profound cultural impact that to this day many people are still afraid to swim at beaches. Clearly if there is one movie that deserves to have its own feature-length retrospective documentary, it is Jaws. Back in the mid-'90s, veteran documentarian Laurent Bouzereau put together a two-hour "Making Of" film that appeared on the Jaws laserdisc and 30th Anniversary DVD release. For years it had been the definitive source of information for ...
