Dad and my puppy Barkley

Happy Father’s Day, dad.

We’re taking the boys fishing, just like you and I used to, and this will be Jack’s first time lure fishing. I’m not totally convinced that’s a good idea either. I remember accidentally hooking you a couple of times while you were teaching me so I have no doubt Jack will get me too. We’ve been working on his casting and he’s doing pretty good though.

Universal Pictures

As part of their 100th Anniversary celebration, Universal Pictures has fully restored the original summer blockbuster movie ‘Jaws’ and is releasing it in high definition on BluRay this August. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time, Spielberg’s 1975 masterpiece created the concept of a summer popcorn smash, and until ‘Star Wars’ came out four years later, had all the box office records to prove it.

Think about all the great moments: Chrissy’s demise on the beach, Chief Brody’s arguments with the mayor, Quint’s speech about the USS Indianapolis, and that that last great confrontation with the shark aboard the Orca.
