The MacGuffin

I honestly can’t say I know that much about Terminator Salvation.  I’ve heard scathing reviews and I’m not particularly a fan of McG, but even still I really haven’t let that influence me that much.  Mind you, I didn’t bother to see the film in theaters, but that was mostly because of a lack of enthusiasm on my part.

Open Water: Terrifying story about being stuck in a shark infested ocean. You really feel the exhaustion and terror of the characters. 8/10

Jaws: The Revenge: Possibly the worst movie ever made. Full of sharks stalking families, growling, and standing on their tails. 1/10

Jaws 3-D: Seeing a shark attack in 3-D would be the only reason to watch this turkey, but it hasn’t been available that way since ’83. 1/10

Jaws 2: The idea that another killer shark is attacking Amity is ridiculous, but there are some good suspense moments and performances. 6/10

Spencer and John make it official, as they announce that John has become the regular co-host.  After that, they provide some recommendations for good film related gifts.  Finally, they close the show out by discussing their favorite Christmas movies.

Jaws: Still the greatest ‘nature gone amuck’ movie. It sits at the top of Steven Spielberg’s illustrious filmography. 10/10

Trilogy of Terror: The first two stories are easily skipped, but the finale is a balls to the wall killer doll action extravaganza! 7/10

Just Before Dawn (1982): A good blending of the slasher film with the Deliverance-style survival film. Well worth seeking out. 8/10

In Awake, a rich NY kid has a bad heart and undergoes a heart transplant. However, when they give him the general anesthesia, he doesn’t actually go under. His vital signs all read as if he’s unconscious, but he hears and feels everything the doctor is doing. To keep his mind off of the procedures and pain, he focuses his attention on his new wife, but his thoughts drift wildly the whole time.
