Jaws is the definitive shark movie, but.....

I gotta admit, I love Deep Blue Sea, just for the way Sam (Russell Franklin) Jackson gets it.

It's worth chasing down for a few reasons, but Lucio Fulci's '70s era Zombie, has an amazing sequence where a zombie fights a shark underwater.

You won't be dissappointed. Pretty cool. That shark scene is worth the price of the rental alone.

No, Jaws 4 was worse.

Here's the premise:
Original Shark still alive.
Brody was killed by it off screen (back story)
Mother figures out that Shark has a grudge against the family
Shark is stalking Brody family all over the world.
Shark has psychic super powers to find Brody family
Mario van Peebles stars in movie

Open Water
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

The bold part is all you needed to say....He's been in exactly two good moves; New Jack City, which I'll give him, and Heartbreak Ridge which was good in spite of him.

If Deep Blue Sea hadn't relied so heavily on CGI shark effects I would have enjoyed it much more. Sam Jackson's unexpected end was priceless though.

Oh no doubt. The CGI work was horrendous in it, as was LL Cool J's performance.

Yeah, I didn't say it was good. Then again, I didn't say I didn't enjoy it.

But thanks!
