Jaws 3-D

Jaws 3-D (1983)

I got to see Jaws 3-D at the movies and was very excited by the 3-D. I remember lifting the glasses up from time to time and looking at all the lines across the screen (That's what I remember, though it doesn't make sense- the screen should've looked like the pictures above; it probably did and I'm just remembering things wrong).

Anyway, people say Jaws 3-D is a shitty movie but I caught it on AMC not too long ago and it really isn't bad. The leads are fun and charming and actually very believable. You watch and you believe that that Dennis Quaid and Bess Armstrong work at Sea World and are in love. They're very good in this movie.

2009 in 3-D

2009 is going to be a huge year for 3-D. First, on January 16, there's the release of the My Bloody Valentine remake. Then, just 18 days later, Friday the 13th Part III will finally be out on DVD in three dimensions.

As far as Ft13 III, I've been waiting for years; I remember coming across an online petition asking Paramount to put the 3-D version on DVD. Very soon the dream will be coming true. I've seen the flat Part III on HBO but the only 3-D movie I've ever seen in the theatres is Jaws 3-D, which was awesome. They've gotta get that out on DVD soon.

I don't remember if I saw the original My Bloody Valentine on HBO or if my dad rented from the video store up the street. I liked it a lot though- I'm gonna rent it after Christmas, maybe New Years Eve.

I get a feeling the decision was made to make the remake in 3-D because, otherwise, there wasn't much of a demand for a MBV remake. Most 19 year-olds have probably never heard of the original. It doesn't matter to me though- I'll be there on opening night.
