OT - watched Dark Tide, shark movie with Halle Berry.
Not really good. Lots of arguing and shouting etc. Even Ms Berry's presence is unable to turn this into a good movie.

Jaws: the Revenge.
I'm really tired so I don't really care all that much what I'm watching but this movie is seriously pushing it!
I've never seen a shark look so fake. The entire movie is quite crappy, but if at least the shark had looked real...

Lake placid 1-3 and LP Legacy.
It's pretty amazing that 1 is a good movie but they made an utter mess of the rest in spite of well-known actors in 'em.
Every new movie is worse than the one before.
