JAWS (1975)

[Bogey]

It's even better on Blu ray.

I have considered replacing mine.  Just so many other films that I want to own first.  Any extras on your copy?

Flight World War II, 2015 - AKA: "Flight 1942".  A modern commercial passenger plane flies through a weather anomaly and ends up in the middle of an air battle over Dunkirk in 1940. They must figure out how to avoid getting shot down and get back before they run out of fuel.

The weather anomalies seem a bit too similar to "Final Countdown" and Philadelphia Experiment".  And it is unnerving how quickly they figure out their dilemma and are able to convince the British military of 1940 that they are what they say they are.

Not the absolute worst time travel movie I have ever seen, but far from the best.  This film was a straight-to-video film that reportedly played to a handful of theaters for a very brief time.

That's so it could be eligible for Academy Awards.

The Man Who Turned to Stone (1957)

The Monster of Piedras Blancas (1958)

[Monsters For Sale]

I'll Follow You Down, 2013 - Haley Joel Osmet stars as the son of a scientist who goes off on a trip and simply vanishes.  Gillian Anderson plays his mother, who is distressed over her husband's unexplained disappearance.

Osmet learns from his grandfather that poppa was experimenting with time travel and failed to return from a journey into the past.  The son decides to duplicate his father's experiments, go to the same year and bring him back.  Of course, there are glitches.  The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley. 

Osmet hits on a novel way of producing his desired result.  I had decided that the movie would likely end in a much different way.  I was wrong.

I like being wrong about movie plot expectations.  I recommend this film as worth the price of a ticket.

Fraternity Demon (1996)

[Monsters For Sale]

For All Time, 2000 - This made-for-TV movie is a re-telling of the 1960 Twilight Zone episode "A Stop at Willoughby".  It stars Mark Harmon, Mary McDonnell, Catherine Hicks and Bill Cobbs.

With a running time of 2 hrs., the plot involves a few extra complications, but it is basically the same yarn.  It is a pleasant enough film.  But, it lacks the punch and freshness of the original.  The story suffers from being all too familiar to TZ fans.

Good effort - glad I watched it.

World War III, 1982 - A two-part Made-for-TV movie starring Brian Keith as the Secretary General of the Soviet Union and Rock Hudson as the President of the United States.  Plays as a somewhat more action-filled "Fail-Safe".

The story begins when a member of an Alaskan early warning radar site team shoots all six of the other crew and reports his unit temporarily out of order.  Things go downhill from there.

It would have been more effective had they not used so many supporting actors I automatically identified with their sitcom series roles.

(I needn't have been concerned that I would not be able to accept romantic-comedy star Rock Hudson as President.  I had no problems with him.  It seems that current affairs have permanently eliminated that anxiety about portrayal of our Chief Executive.   Sigh.)

Jaws 2 (1978)

Piranha (2010) *This movie is so gnarly! I know it's been out for a few yrs, but this was my first viewing. Prob the most fun horror film I've watched in a while. Old school 80s vibe and great cast. I really enjoyed it.

[Mord]

Starry Eyes - Aspiring actress will do ANYTHING to make it in the film industry.  She goes through life's version of hell in this very well acted,  atmospheric film. The girls in this are very easy on the eyes.

Puppet Master X (2012)

[Bogey]

JAWS (1975)

One of the best!  This almost received a 10/10 rating from me as it is a film that I can catch at any point and enjoy any scene.
