There are so many choices if you want to read or view something ridiculous about scary critters this summer! I recently saw the latest Jurassic<\/a> flick, which did not disappoint because I’m a sucker for a huge dinosaur lowering its massive head and bellowing it’s lungs out–if the sound is cranked up the whole theater vibrates. And if it’s loud enough it covers up my out-of-control laughing. I can’t help it!<\/p>\n

\"coverSearch Andersen Library’s holdings of books, media and more<\/a> in Research@UWW, and you’ll find some classics, like Jaws<\/em><\/a> (both the book at 3rd-floor Main Collection PS3552.E537 J3 1974 and the movie in 2nd-floor Browsing DVDs, Feature Films, “Jaw”), Godzilla<\/em><\/a> (2nd-floor Browsing DVDs, Feature Films, “God”), and King Kong<\/em><\/a> (2nd-floor Browsing DVDs, Feature Films, “Kin”), as well as more recent things that may<\/em> become classics, like the book by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge that has inspired a TV series by the same title, Zoo<\/em><\/a> (3rd-floor Main Collection PS3566.A822 Z96 2012) and Alien<\/em><\/a> (2nd-floor Browsing DVDs, Feature Films, “Ali 3”). UW-Whitewater students and staff can request materials from other UW campus libraries too, using the free UW Request feature in Research@UWW. So if you’ve never seen Alfred Hitchcock<\/a>‘s The Birds<\/em><\/a>, for example, you’re in luck as there are a few copies among the System libraries. (That movie, BTW, really<\/em> freaked me out when I was a kid. )<\/p>\n

If you need help finding suggestions, there are a lot of Internet lists of angry animal movies, or please ask a librarian<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
