Jaws Peter Benchley and Steven Spielberg
In 1974 Peter Benchley hit paydirt with his first novel Jaws The following year young director Steven Spielberg with only one feature to his credit hit blockbuster territory when he directed the screen adaptation of the novel And the summer blockbuster was born An Island Community Terrorized By a Snacking Shark Naturalists tell us that shark attacks are rare with the human victim generally mistaken for something else But for the great white shark that terrorized Amity Island in Jaws humans are his meal of choiceThe story begins with a young woman on a moonlight skinnydip Her young man intended to join her but realized he was too drunk to go swimming She swims out to the buoy and while he is asleep on the beach she fights a losing battle against an unseen predator
One Man Argues Against Oblivious Authority When the body is found island newcomer Police Chief Martin Brody Roy Schieder wants to close the beach But he is opposed by the towns mayor Larry Vaughn Murray Hamilton who points out that the towns economy depends on tourism and the Fourth of July weekend is right around the corner Businesses will go bankrupt if they close the beaches and anyway surely it was a fluke and the shark is already hundreds of miles awayOf course Vaughn is wrong and after the next fatality the local governments next bright idea is to offer a reward Hundreds of idiots take to the water in a scene of chaos as shark expert Matt Hooper Richard Dreyfuss arrives on the scene A large shark is killed and displayed and the town breathes a sigh of relief prepared to go back to the beach Hooper knows better they caught A shark he tells Brody not THE shark He convinces Brody to allow him to cut open the shark Lack of human remains tell them that the problem shark is still out there
Quint the Shark Hunter After another bloodchurning beach tragedy the local authorities finally come to their senses and close the beach until the shark the right shark is killed To do the deed they hire Quint the shark hunter Robert Shaw Quint is probably Robert Shaws best role and certainly one of the most memorable movie characters a crusty old eccentric who lives to kill sharks

Directed by Steven Spielberg Jaws was scripted by Peter Benchley and Carl Gottlieb from the novel by Peter Benchley John Williams Oscar for Best Musical Score who knew a shark had its own theme music presaged his
ascendance as the composer of choice for movie blockbusters

The Mask of Zorro Silver Screen and Television
The Mask of Zorro builds on a long swashbuckling tradition Most of us are most familiar with the Zorro of the 1950s the television show from Walt Disney studios But Zorro has been around much longer than that He was created in the 1920s in pulp novels and was the subject of a number of movies from the 1920s through the 1940s 1998s The Mask of Zorro brings the legend to a new generation
The Mask of Zorro treats us to not one but two Zorros An embarrassment of riches becomes wealth untold when I further inform you that the two Zorros are played by Anthony Hopkins and Antonio BanderasHopkins plays Don Diego De La Vega the original Zorro The film opens in old Spanish California with a daring Zorro rescue followed by tragedy De la Vega is identified as Zorro by Don Rafael Montero Stuart Wilson who arrives at the de la Vega hacienda to arrest him Montero has a personal reason to hate de la Vega he is in love with de la Vegas wife Esperanza Julieta Rosen In the chaos of the arrest Esperanza is accidentally killed De la Vega is thrown into prison and Montero takes the baby Elena Maria and Monica Fernandez Cruz to raise as his own
Twenty Years Later The story now jumps forward to twenty years later when a number of events are happening
We are introduced to rather inept young bandit Alejandro Murrieta Antonio Banderas whose brother and partner in crime Joaquin Victor Rivers is killed by US Army Captain Love Matt Letscher Alejandro is now a man with a vendetta
Don Rafael Montero returns to Spanish California with baby Elena Catherine ZetaJones all grown up and believing Montero to be her father And de la Vega breaks out of prison De la Vega still has the craft and guile of his namesake fox but he is now an old man Still he is determined to get his revenge on Montero He meets Alejandro drunk and ranting about revenge and sees a way to help them both Alejandro will be the new Zorro
Its going to take a lot of training to turn loutish young Alejandro into the deft and elegant Zorro but de la Vega easily assumes the role of elder mentor Montero and Captain Love turn out to be coconspirators so the two Zorros have a common goal Monteros plot involves buying California from Mexico and establishing an independent state To buy the territory he intends to use gold from a secret gold mine that Mexico is unaware of Essentially he intends to buy California from Mexico using Mexicos own gold And being the baddie that he is the mine is being worked by peasant slave labor
A further complication is Elena De la Vega realises that Monteros daughter is actually his own baby Elena that she was raised by Montero and loves him He must somehow get his revenge and rescue Elena without traumatizing the young woman who loves the monster And as for Alejandro hes fallen in love with Elena

Deluxe Swashbuckling
Everything that ought to be in a Zorro movie is here Sword fights swinging through the air explosions leaping onto the back of the trusty black steed Striking the heroic pose while the horse heroically rears its all there

Die Hard
Movies Setting the Standard for ActionAdventure
1988s Die Hard became so synonymous with actionadventure that for years screenwriters used it as shorthand to describe their new project to producers and investors Everything was Die Hard in a Die Hard in an airplane Die Hard on a train Die Hard on a submarine Perhaps its only legend but perhaps a clueless screenwriter really did try to pitch his story as Die Hard in an office building
The Everyman as Action Hero
Die Hard was released into an era when the muscle men were the kings of actionadventure Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were the names that came to mind when one thought about action movies Into this environment Bruce Willis as New York cop John McClane brought the freshness of originality This was Willis first major starring role he was more familiar to audiences as the sarcastic detective and love interest from the television show Moonlighting Not even a kickboxing or martial arts champ he is believable as an average guy up against impossible odds
About Those Impossible Odds
McClanes personal life is a mess While hes determined to stay with his police career in New York his wife Holly Bonnie Bedalia has followed her skyrocketing career to an impressive office in a skyscraper in Los Angeles McClane has been anything but supportive and this is looking like the marriage that cant be saved
McClane has arrived in Los Angeles at his wifes office just in time for the office Christmas party He has come in an attempt to save his marriage but his unexpected arrival only kicks off an argument with his wife While he is cooling off and Holly has rejoined the party the building is invaded and seized by a team of heavily armed terrorists Led by ruthlessly elegant eurotrash criminal Hans Gruber Alan Rickman the terrorists take the partygoers hostage and only McClane is on the loose to thwart their plans
A $600 Million Heist

The terrorists are after over $600 million in negotiable bearer bonds stored in the corporations safe and they think their plans accounted for everything including the heavy police presence outside the building But they didnt account for one out of jurisdiction cop loose in the building turning their own weapons against them
In what would become a signature of Bruce Willis actioners McClane gets the stuffing beat out of him But the man is like an Energizer Bunny with a Timex watch he takes a licking and keeps going and going As you might expect gun battles and explosions are offered in abundance but the attraction of this action adventure is watching an average guy take on a host of villains and triumph
Die Hard Credits
Directed by John McTiernan Die Hard was scripted by Jeb Stuart and Steven E de Souza based on the novel Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp The success of the movie kicked off a franchise of sequels all featuring Willis as John McClane unexpectedly thrust into situation where he once again had to save the day against impossible odds Die Hard 2 in 1990 Die Hard With A Vengeance in 1995 and Die Hard 4 0 scheduled to be released in 2006

Alien vs Predator released in 2004 represented the culmination of a number of years worth of work by Hollywood insiders to bring two popular franchises together on the big screen Driven by the popularity of the Alien vs Predator comic book and video game series this was a movie that Hollywood simply had to make Its too bad it turned out the way it did
The Folly Of Alien vs Predator
The movies have had a love hate relationship with comic books for many years For the longest time Hollywood seemed to be of the opinion that comics are for kids and most movies that were based upon comic material were less than the best Hollywood had to offer Movies like Captain America and Supergirl represent some of the worst comic book based films ever made and there wasnt much of anything in the success column until XMen was released to rave reviews and commercial success Hot on its heels came SpiderMan and its sequel and finally a masterpiece was realized in Robert Rodriguezs Sin City based on the popular Frank Miller property It seemed that comics had turned a new leaf in the movies as Hollywood now spends some time on scripts effects cast and everything it takes to make a good movie Unfortunately not all of these are good Ang Lees vision of The Hulk left plenty to be desired as did Fantastic Four and the case in point Alien vs Predator Director Paul W S Anderson one of the biggest hacks to ever hoist a camera his list of credits include such lackluster pictures as Event Horizon Mortal Kombat Resident Evil and Soldier was given the reins of this movie because apparently in the darkest corner of Hell there is a contract inked in blood bearing this guys name This may be the high point of his career because he was given the opportunity to spread his foul stench on two beloved movie franchises and one of the most popular comic series of all time simultaneously Somewhere Satan is laughing
The Story Of Alien vs Predator
A billionaire industrialist named Charles Bishop Weyland Lance Henrikson catch the Bishop and Weyland references Henriksons character in Aliens was called Bishop and the Company Ellen Ripley worked for was the WeylandYutani Company believes he has discovered an ancient temple which predates the Mayan Egyptian and Aztec civilizations but which combines features familiar to all three buried in a glacier in Antarctica Weyland assembles a team of scientists to unearth and explore the structure and we the audience know right away that probably only one of these people will be coming back out once they enter

Once inside the team discovers a bizarre sacrificial chamber complete with mummified corpses The corpses have death wounds visible in their chests but they look more like something came out of them rather than the type of wound that might be made by a dagger plunging in The scientists are perplexed but the audience knows exactly what killed these people especially since all the corpses are not human There are also the remains of several face huggers lying about Apparently Ellen Ripley died in vain in Alien 3 trying to keep the aliens off Earth Theyve been here for centuries They are not running things however they are part of a larger plan

Through the course of the story we learn that the temple was used in ancient times as the scene of a comingofage or riteofpassage ritual for the Predators the same race of hunter aliens which gave Arnold Schwarzenegger so much trouble in 1987s Predator The Predators show up an apparently eternal Alien Queen starts pumping out eggs and a good percentage of the scientists find themselves as hosts for aliens The hunt is on The silliness that ensues is basically a mass of scenes in which Predators and Aliens are busy ripping each other apart The Alien Queen as one would expect tires of being present just for the Predators ritual and breaks her bonds to join the fray The remaining humans caught in the middle drop like flies until only the Wise Young Scientist Sanaa Lathan one of the few good things about this movie remains She befriends one of the Predators and manages to stay alive to see the end credits
