A deserving classic

Jaws is a film I've seen many years ago but haven't in quite a while, and it really is the classic it's made out to be.

Watching it now it is does admittedly look a little dated. But I think this is part of the film's charm. The shark is hilarious and yet still pretty scary at the same time, and for an animatronic it is very good for the time it was made. It does remind me a lot of the Jaws ride at Universal Studios as the animatronics are virtually identical. The score is rightly infamous and really builds the tension and suspense in those underwater scenes. There is some dodgy acting (although Dreyfuss and Scheider are brilliant) and it does feel like it's drawn out a little at times. However despite this there's a reason why no other shark film released to date has managed to live up to the renown and success of Jaws. This is without a doubt a classic - i just wish they hadn't gotten rid of the ride at Universal!

Kudos

Two standalones from the Story Hearth catalogue that sit inside the same understanding — that magic hides in the ordinary world and passes to its recipient through readiness rather than seeking.

Hiraeth — Ellis Clarke has carried an unnamed longing her entire life. A visit to Beddgelert and a meeting with Luke Maddox, a Guardian of Wales who is considerably more than he appears, begins to suggest the ache has always been for something specific. A paranormal romance steeped in Welsh mythology and the particular quality of belonging finally found.

What a Latte Books — A book appears in Laura's shop that has no right to exist. It keeps disappearing and returning. Its story mirrors her own life in ways that shouldn't be possible. A contemporary magical realism romance about following an enchantment you can't explain toward something you haven't let yourself want yet.

Both waiting for the reader who arrives at exactly the right moment.
