Saving Jaws (2019)
Amazing shots
If you enjoy Shark Week, shark docs, shark films and other shark related material, it's a must watch. The message of protecting sharks for the sake of the species as well as for their vital role in maintaining the oceanic ecosystem is admirable, and the filmmakers do a great job of arguing their point. Are sharks scary? Absolutely. Are they vital? Also, absolutely. This film contains some of the most beautiful locations in the world, with some of the most incredible shots of shark/human interaction you will ever see. Ocean dances in the sea with a beautiful grace that may actually convince you the woman is part mermaid. The film may lack the action you're accustomed to in shark films, but it also lacks the constant repetition of scientist interviews and the usual "I don't know what we'll encounter" interviews that usually cause most people to use the bathroom or get a snack and replaces them with intelligent narration, smooth, talented, and charismatic swimming and interaction with nature in it's natural habitat, and some of the most stunning, brilliant, beautiful shots of the open ocean and it's alpha predator that you've ever seen.
Definitely worth a peek. Check it out.
Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King (2006)
Hot garbage
Don't waste your time, here. Cheesy dialogue and acting. Bad direction of what are normally capable and talented actors. Plot holes. Bad endings with no closure. Bad special effects. I'll be honest. I own the book, but have yet to get around to reading it. I really hope that this adaptation is the fault of the filmmakers and not the material. King is a giant amongst men in his writing ability, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, but this series is complete 💩. Close your eyes and point at any single Tales From The Crypt episode, and I guarantee it's more entertaining than any single episode of this sad, half assed miniseries. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because of the talented names attached. Ron Livingston did ok, William Hurt was slightly entertaining, William H. Macy tried his best, but at the end of the day, trust me, skip it.
