"Jaws (Widescreen 30th Anniversary Edition)" DVD Review

Hello All,

"You're gonna need a bigger boat." It's one of those infinitely quotable lines from a big time Hollywood summer blockbuster. But this isn't just any big time Hollywood summer blockbuster. This is "Jaws", the movie that originated the concept of big time Hollywood summer blockbusters. It's appropriate then that 30 years later as the summer box office slumps and home video earnings rise that we're reviewing this movie on DVD, a DVD loaded with extras and special features.

Something's stalking swimmers off the sleepy New England village of Amity Island. It's big and white and has a whole lot of teeth. Cue ominous chello music composed by John Williams. If you don't know the story, you've probably been living under a rock your whole life. "Jaws" is one of the highest grossing films. In the summer of 1975 - before studios ever thought that releasing all their big budget action films when kids our out of school was a good idea - MCA (now Universal) decided to take a chance with a movie by a relative unknown filmmaker by the name of Steven Spielberg. Their gamble paid off in spades. "Jaws" went on to invade people's nightmares and do its best to keep people off the beach.

I've only seen this movie once before, back when I was much too young. Still, with the movie edited for TV, I spent most of the time watching between my fingers. This is one hell of a scary movie. It kept me off the beach for more than 20 years, and after seeing the full theatrical version, I'm banking on keeping dry for another 20 years. On its 30th anniversary, "Jaws" still packs a punch, even after years of watching slasher movies and suspense thrillers. It's a timeless classic. We all know "Jaws" is a good movie. But it's the features that really sell this collection.
