Jaws: The Revenge

To take her mind off the pain of losing her youngest son, Ellen Brody travels to the Bahamas to spend time with her family. She becomes convinced that the shark who killed her son has followed her to the Bahamas to take revenge on the rest of the Brody family. And even though everyone around is her is 100% in the right to think she's losing her mind, the shark has actually followed her and does make some attempts to kill the rest of her family. The whole thing is kinda stupid. It might have been better if it had been a TV movie. Jaws: The Revenge really had no business trying to be a summer horror movie. It's a movie about generational trauma and grief. There's nothing particularly fun or sexy about that. But, perhaps, worst of all is the fact that the shark in the movie looks terrible. It looks like a wet cigar awkwardly gliding through the water. It's laughably bad.

A Terminal Christmas

Wings ran for eight seasons, over 170 episodes, and yet it has virtually no cultural footprint these days. I place some of the blame on the theme song. Instead of going with something upbeat or catchy, they used a classical piano sonata. It didn't exactly set the mood for a workplace sitcom. In "A Terminal Christmas," everyone's Christmas plans get cancelled at the last minute. In an effort to salvage the holiday, they decide to crash a co-workers Christmas party. Only to find her alone, mourning her late husband. To cheer her up, they take her out to sea to spread her late husband's ashes. Hijinks ensue.
