Shark Lake (Movie Review)

Shark Lake features the great Dolph Lundgren, Sarah Lane, and Lily Brooks O'Briant. This movie was actually released earlier this month and I actually got a chance to watch it. Surprising, right? I haven't done a movie review in a long time if you don't count the collective Hunger Games review that I did on the three movies released so far (fiy I cannot wait for the last movie). If you want to take a look at my review on the Hunger Games movies you can click here.

This movie follows a black market exotic dealer named Clint (Dolph Lundgren) however, one bad run in with the best cop in Lake Tahoe Meredith Hendricks (Sarah Lane) Clint is sent right to prison for five years and his daughter (Lily Brooks O'Briant) is left in custody with detective Hendricks. The one problem is that during the car chase that sent Clint to prison, he crashed his truck into the town lake and an exotic animal that he was transporting escaped into the lake. Now I think we all know where this leads to.

First off, I would like to start off with that I never pegged Dolph Lundgren as a shark movie kind of guy. I always imagined him as an action ass-kicker kind of guy because that is most of his movie roles. But of course there is a fight scene involved with Dolph Lundgren.

Oh wow bad acting from a sexy scantily clad girl. How surprising. Can someone explain to me when a movie is centered around marine life mammals there are half-naked girls with an IQ lower than a bag of rocks? Is that part of a check-list I'm not aware of?

So finally the shark is coming out to play. Here's the thing, the shark that is in the lake is a bull shark meaning that it can adapt to the lack of salt in the lake. A bull shark can be in either fresh or salt water. Pretty cool kind of shark if you ask me. BTW that actually happened here in Quebec where they found Bull sharks in the St. Lawrence river that was connected to the Atlantic ocean.

Y'all can call me crazy for not wanting to go into lakes and oceans but I'm not getting bitten by sharks now, am I?

Dolph Lundgren looks amazing for his age. But him wrestling a shark? Yeah that doesn't seem really likely to happen.

Now onto the ratings! Overall the movie was okay. I find that shark movies have been over done if Dolph Lundgren wasn't a part of this movie then the rating I was about to give wouldn't be as high. So as long awaited I'm going to give this movie 6/10 stars.

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
