Jaws 2 is considered to be the most successful sequel of the original shark movie. Released in the year 1978 it was directed by Jeannot Szwarc after Steven Spielberg refused to direct a sequel to the definitive original that he had given shape to.
This movie traces the events taking place after four years the shark had first surfaced in the beaches and carried out its carnage. Roy Scheider reprises his role in the sequel as Martin Brody the ever suspecting police chief of Amity Island. He becomes apprehensive when a water skier goes missing in the sea and so does her boat. An Orca is also found on the beach which seems to have been attacked by a shark. He voices his opinion to selectmen who do not pay any heed to his warnings. The tourist attractions in the small island town are just being revived and they do not want the people to get scared of unwanted things that are based only on speculation. Brody however tries his best to convince everyone of the danger by gathering evidence like photographs taken by one diver before being attacked by the great white.
However he fails and loses his job after causing a stir on the beach by a false alarm where orders everyone out of the water. As many has three mechanicals harks were created by the technicians of the movie. The production designers Bob Mattey and Joe Alves used the same casts that were used for the original movie. They designed a platform shark also known as the “luxurious shark” by the technicians. The mechanical sharks used for the first movie had to be altered and redone to a large extent. Bob Mattey’s designs this time were a lot more advanced this time. The other two sharks were a fin and a whole shark both of which could be hauled by boats. The makers of this sequel realized that they could not use their previous strategy of using the shark as less as possible which had created scintillating suspense. According to Szwarc himself they could not cash in on the effectiveness of the original strategy. On the other hand however the makers tried to create a scarier look to the fish making it more threatening. Roy Scheider as Martin Brody even when he had left from another Universal production The Deer Hunter. During filming a particular shot where the teen group including the police chief’s two sons and the mayor’s son are being attacked by the shark. Real Hammerhead sharks were encircling them while shooting. The tagline of the movie was one of the highlights of the movie “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...”Wikipedia

Bruce Almighty
Bruce Almighty is a comedy featuring Jim Carrey in the leading role. It was released in 2003, directed by Tom Shadyac and was a bumper hit. It became the number one movie in the box-office. Bruce Almighty made a record profit of $85 7 million in the first week of its release. In the film Jennifer Aniston co-stars with Jim Carrey and plays the role of his girl friend Grace Connelly
Bruce Almighty is the story of Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) who is a TV news reporter but has no job satisfaction because he is denied the role of an anchorman. He also undergoes through several unfortunate incidents and frustrated he complains to God. God (Morgan Freeman) answers his prayer and appears before him and bestows upon him supernatural powers so that he can perform better. However Bruce misuses the given power and is rebuked by God. At the same time he makes the relationship with his girlfriend Grace Connelly sour. In the end of the movie Bruce realizes his blunder and prays to God for controlling him, the rest of the life. In the film Bruce Almighty God is portrayed as a smart, intelligent man in his middle ages. This portrayal of God in an ordinary human form raised controversies in the Islamic countries such as Egypt and Malaysia. In Egypt Bruce Almighty faced a total ban while in the Malaysian Television it underwent severe editing. Bruce Almighty also set up controversy regarding the use of an actual telephone number instead of using a fictional number. The use of this actual number in the film caused problem to the people who had this number 776 2323. People who wanted to call-up God rang in this number out of curiosity and fun. One reference that the film Bruce Almighty uses from Ace Ventura is the monkey that appears on the movie. The same species of monkey – the capuchin monkey is Ace Ventura’s pet.
The story of Bruce Almighty has strong resemblance with the story of H.G.Wells, ‘The Man who could Work Miracles’. There is also a film version of this story and was released in Hollywood in the same name in 1936. However in the early film version, the original story of H.G. Wells was expanded further. The film has quite a few references to Jim Carrey’s previous movie Ace Ventura where Jim Carrey plays the role of an eccentric detective. Ace Ventura has two parts ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’ and ‘Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls’. In both the films Jim Carrey plays the role of Ace Ventura and the movies are basically hilarious comedies, much to the liking of movie enthusiasts – after all there aren’t really many people who don’t like to laugh.
