 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: In this adrenaline-soaked thriller, a hurricane unleashes a feeding frenzy on a town's stranded residents when flood waters draw in a swarm of sharks.  What a better way to enjoy the summer than watching a shark movie? Anyone else had a phase in their childhood where they watched an obscene amount of shark movies? Eventually, I cam across some crazy movies that made you wonder what the writer smoked to come up with some of their ideas. Sand sharks, Sharktopus, and of course Sharknado.  I have to say that this isn't the worst shark movie I've seen. It's not overly complicated, it's well written and the actors were phenomenal! I think what makes it work really well is that it's something that could actually happen. For instance, sharks being in the Saint Lawrence river in Quebec has happened multiple times over the years. Despite people believing that it's not a possibility.  Since I was a little girl, I have h...

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Jonas Taylor leads a research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal, prehistoric sharks and relentless environmental plunderers, they must outrun, outsmart and outswim their merciless predators. Opening scene: Set 65 Million years ago during the Cretaceous period. We see the Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing 'Snappers' or Rauisuchians who then gets eaten by a Megalodon. I quite liked this opening because it visually showed us the circle of life during that time period.  Sequels always tend to be worse than the original movie and alas this movie is not an exception. The first movie was phenomenal because it gave us so much action, we got attached to the characters and it felt like I was on the same journey as them. This go around man there w...

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...
