Best movie ever!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

You suck. you suck. you suck. you suck. you suck. you suck. you suck. bad acting. you suck. you suck. not believable graphics and deaths. you suck. they held on to a dead body too long and it was nasty. you suck.

This movie has good things going for it.It was shot on 35mm Panavision rather than a digital camera.It stars Steve McQueen's grandson. It was shot in beautiful lake Havasu.The nude sequences are provide by the porn actresses,like Riley Steele,who ends up as food for the Piranha.Elizabeth Shue is the tough Female sheriff of the fictitious town in Lake Havasu watching the teenagers in Spring Break.She insist that there son avoid spring break and he is forced to watch his little sister,played by Brooklyn Proulx,who in on scene makes a complement towards Kelly Brooks Breast and how this little girl states that she hates to wear a bra cause it itches, and her friend.He pays them to take care of themselves.He was ask to show some nudie porn film maker ,that puts out re sort of real wild girl type video.portrayed by the very funny.Jerry O'Connell,the tour of the fake town.When he has been almost eaten up by the Piranha he act humorously,saying ."They ate my penis". Boy those fishes sure get hungry and all those realistic appliances with fake blood on the extras look so realistic.My brother who is sensitive to violence and gore would have fit .A scene where a wire from a another boat slices one of the students in half was so realistic ,as real as the bloody war sequences in Birth of a nation,D.W. Griffith version.There is a nice women to women ballet nude under water sequence.This movie is a good as Jaws 1 .The french film maker did a good job.Aja.The problem is the 3D .It was converted and it's uneven.The better 3D converted shots is the under water scenes and the titles and the female nude scenes.The problem is that when it comes to the close up and medium shots the face and body detail are not 3d enough.The distance shot look more flat .Now there are some good 3d shots,but ,they did not thoroughly make all the scenes evenly,unless I got a bad Blu-Ray disc.I don't think so. this was 2010.I had heard the titans 3d was poor .So this obviously was a tried experiment in 3d conversion.Today they do better.It was still entertaining.Steve's grandson was sure a good looker,but, so were the chicks.Worth the the watch.12/28/17

"Matt Boyd" (Richard Dreyfuss) is out fishing on Lake Victoria when an earthquake hits and opens up an underground lake directly under his boat. Not only does he become trapped by a sudden whirlpool but the fissure also allows thousands of prehistoric piranha to escape from their subterranean prison into Lake Victoria. And they are very hungry. To make matters even worse there is an annual holiday taking place at the lake during this same time and this special event typically hosts over 50,000 college students from all over. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that it featured two good actors in Elisabeth Shue (as "Sheriff Julie Forester") and Ving Rhames ("Deputy Fallon") along with several attractive young actresses in Jessica Szohr ("Kelly"), Kelly Brook ("Danni") and Riley Steele ("Crystal"). Unfortunately, rather than concentrating solely on these fine people--and possibly giving both Elisabeth Shue and Ving Rhames roles befitting their abilities--the director (Alexandre Aja) chose to spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on some of the dorkiest men ever caught on camera. Likewise, the music chosen for the multitude of party scenes was equally bad as well. Additionally, one particular scene, which was supposed to be humorous, ended up being just plain silly and vulgar. As a result, although the director had the necessary ingredients for a pretty good movie, he obviously wasn't up to the task and this movie simply proves that point. Slightly below average.

Piranha 3D (2010): Dir: Alexandre Aja / Cast: Elisabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Jerry O'Connell, Adam Scott, Christopher Lloyd: Piranhas strike fear into the lives of those whom are aware of their existence. In this idiotic film people are warned by police and they still jump into the water. A tremor causes an underwater ground opening and a rare breed of piranha emerges and terrorizes a beach community celebrating spring break. Directed by Alexandre Aja who is no stranger to graphic violence but the 3D is effective. Aja previously made other graphic outings such as the remake of The Hills Have Eyes as well as Mirrors. The cast unfortunately is totally piranha fast food. There is Elisabeth Shue as the local Sheriff whose son doesn't know how to follow orders. Her children seem to do things that people with any form of intelligence would avoid. Ving Rhames plays her deputy who has his own methods for killing piranha although the payoff isn't so great for him. Jerry O'Connell plays a flamboyant beach party host filming a porn flick. Adam Scott is among the rescuers. There are several celebrity cameo with Christopher Lloyd most notable playing off his Doc Brown Back to the Future persona. The film points out that it is in 3D as if that really matters. We are given the severed floating image of a penis before one of these creatures gobbles it up. That was intended to be a laugh but it just comes off as tasteless and desperate. The ending leaves the door open for a sequel with even bigger fish. Pointless mayhem and total stupidity render this film deserving of a piranha attack. Score: 3 / 10
