JAWSÂ PG
If you're in the mood for a thriller, this is the flick to see. Jaws is a great white shark that terrorizes the waters of a small east coast town. The first scene begins quietly and then grabs the viewer's attention throughout the rest of the film.
The intensity of terror grows keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The film has excellent photography, an effective film score, and very convincing special effects. However, the dialogue is a bit poor, and the plot is relatively simple. But the acting and excellent direction of the film make up for its faults.
Some scenes are a bit grotesque and stomach turning. This is definitely not a film for the squeamish.

ROLLERBALL R
Despite the big buildup, the film fails to live up to its promises. James Caan stars as a star athlete, whose individualism threatens the conformity of the futuristic corporate society.
The game, rollerball, is supposed to represent the future's substitute for murder, aggression, and wars. Although the game is supposed to be portrayed as brutal and savage. What it really looks like is a modern day powder puff football game. The sets are too elaborate and the photography mediocre. The plot is good, but the film fails to support the plot and the ideas around it.
As a result of this you never know what's really going on. Poor dialogue and boring scenes add to the film's downfall.
