The Shallows
Putting this here because it's been doing well in limited release and has good buzz among critics and audiences.

Re: The Shallows
This movie appeals to me in like a dozen ways, Blake Lively in a bikini is on that list.

Re: The Shallows
It's hard to imagine stretching the premise into a whole movie without it getting boring, though.

Re: The Shallows
3-D experience.
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old Macheath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread...

Re: The Shallows
They could have at least put a picture of Lively's butt in that article. Really make sure they get the violence AND sex internet crowds.
Re: The Shallows
It was meh.
Blake is hot as balls. The rest of the cast consists of about 7 people...and a seagull.
This is Open Water except in shallow water. They work hard to fill the feature length time, and some of that involves turning the shark into Michael Meyers.
It's a beautiful movie, and entertaining enough to watch once, but if you know anything about sharks or even seagulls, you'll be annoyed by some of the plot points.

Re: The Shallows
A quote from this review.That is because Jaws – and The Exorcist as well – is not a movie to be taken at face value; yes, there is a shark in it but the film overall is a character study with the shark serving as an incidental device enabling the three main characters to develop arcs and tell a compelling story.
I posting this more for me because I love this quote. I plan to use it in a lot of movie and TV debates.

Re: The Shallows
Relatively. It's masterful compared to Jaws 3D, which in turn is a million times better than Jaws 4: Cape Fear with a Shark.Yeah, but it's probably true. Which is sad because Jaws 2 suuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkkeeeeeeeedddddddd.
