...briefly over a point of view switch, but in hindsight understand why Scalzi made the choice to tell the story this particular way. By far my favorite character was Miranda, the protagonist's quirky and forthright assistant. I can only hope that at some point humans teach the Yherajk some nice smells to expand their odiferous repertoire...

...briefly in my examination of the finished product, which is really my main concern here: how did Jaws ultimately turn out and what part did the then 27-year-old Steven Spielberg play in bringing it to the big screen Jaws first began as a debut novel by Peter Benchley. Even before its publication, producers Dick Zanuck and David Brown, seeing...

...briefly on a TV in Poltergeist ). As with every film in his career, the emotional tenor of Spielbergs personal life affected his art and in this case, unfortunately, not in a positive way. Spielberg had wanted to remake Flemings film for a long time and it is possible, even likely, that had Spielberg made Always several years earlier it would...
