Bride Hard

  • Title: Bride Hard
  • IMDb: link

Bride Hard is a dumb comedy stuck in the middle of a bad spy film. I’m not sure how it made it into theaters. Perhaps no streaming service would take it. Rebel Wilson stars as Sam, an unorthodox spy who manages to get in trouble both at work and with her friends when she attempts to merge a mission in Paris with her childhood best-friend’s bachelorette party. Put on leave, Sam attempts to mend fences with Besty (Anna Camp) showing up to her wedding despite being downgraded from maid of honor, in favor of Betsy’s annoying new sister-in-law (Anna Chlumsky), to last among the bridesmaids. However, when armed terrorists show up to rob the rich family Betsy is marrying into, Sam puts the skills she’s kept secret from her friend to use.

Jaws

  • Title: Jaws
  • IMDb: link

Released 50 years ago, Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws forever changed what a summer movie was and what horror movie was capable of. Far more successful than anyone could hope, Jaws captured the hearts and minds of audiences making it the most profitable movie ever released in theaters (at least until a certain sci-fi fantasy hit theaters two years later). Despite it’s troubled production, including a mechanical shark that often wouldn’t work as intended, Spielberg delivered by suggesting the shark’s presence through most of the first-half of the film relying heavily on his human actors and John Williams‘ famous score to set the mood of the film.
