What we’re Enjoying

Shua highly recommends the newest Pixar movie Elio. IT’s a touching tale of a boy that desperately wants to be abducted by aliens. Think a cute, modernized version of The Last Starfighter. See it in theaters now. On his way to visit Shua in person, Jay stopped at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s an exciting museum of some of our favorite performers over the years. Such a great history of how our culture has changed because of music. You can find it in Cleveland, OH.

Enjoy Jaws! 

In 1975, seeing a movie was a little more of a laid back experience than it is today. That is, until Jaws was released. Adapted from a novel by Peter Benchley, Steven Spielberg took on the challenge of filming this movie an the actual ocean with a not-actual shark. It was an overnight success and moviegoers lined up around the block to get terrified of going to the beach. Plus, it spawned a ton of sequels and knock-offs. After this, movies changed forever. And so did Spielberg’s career. Let’s take a look at Jaws and what came after it.
