Shark Story

The passage of time is often quiet, skittering by unannounced and unnoticed. One day, you wake up, look at a calendar and Jaws is 40 years old. One of Steven Spielberg’s most iconic films, Jaws united families and neighbors by instilling a universal fear of sharks in Americans. Released at a time when actors worked on location and monsters were animatronic, it also broke all kinds of box office records upon its release and unleashed the beast that has become the summer blockbuster. It screens tonight at 9:30 at the Cedar Lee and then shows again tomorrow and Sunday nights at the same time. Tickets are $6. (Rees)
