This week I’m not reviewing a movie. I’m basically writing an essay, which is a particularly disturbing departure from the norm because for the first time in seventeen years, I’m actually not a student, so writing an essay should be the last thing on my mind, but I’m passionate about this topic.

Baddie – False senses of security. Lesson – There’s probably not another shark, just like there’s probably not another sequel. Jaws | Jaws 2 | Jaws 3 | Jaws 4 Oh…Jaws 4. Jaws, the Revenge.
