Shark Week is dead ahead (July 22–28, and it’s the 30th anniversary!). Locally, Central Cinema hosts its own take on the Discovery Channel’s shark-themed programming with screenings of two films starring bloodthirsty sharks that came out nearly 25 years apart—1975’s Jaws and 1999’s Deep Blue Sea. The former finds a shark stalking and attacking/eating residents of a fictional New England summer resort town (da-dum), features Roy Scheider as the police chief who’s pitted against the shark, and has a rather serious (1970s-era horror flick) tone. The latter finds super-smart sharks stalking and attacking/eating the crew of the underwater research center that genetically engineered them, features LL Cool J as the chef who saves the day (or at least himself), is thrilling, highly entertaining without being overly campy, and features one of Samuel L. Jackson’s most memorable on-screen deaths. by Leilani Polk
