Deep Blue Sea


Principal cast: Thomas Jane, Sam Jackson, Michael Rappaport and LL Cool J
The Gist: It's the classic tale of scientists test Alzheimer's cure on sharks, sharks get genetically modified, angry and hungry as fuck, and scientists try to out-wit the sharks' pre-meditated attacks.
Year: 1999
Who's Responsible: Warner Brothers
MPAA Rating: R for some gory, out-of-fucking-nowhere deaths
Content: Blood, unnecessary explosions and Saffron Burrows in a wet T-shirt
Run time: 1 hr 45 min
Suggested drinking game: Drink any time a shark eats someone. Drink anytime there is an explosion. Drink anytime someone mentions research. Drink anytime someone says shark. Drink anytime you groan at the dialogue.
Suggested drink/snack: Shark fruit snacks.
Why you should watch it: For Samuel L Jackon's tremendously inspiring speech interrupted by him being bitten in half by a pissed off shark.
Why you might want to avoid it: It's a really dumb, low-brow action movie and 99% of it is completely implausible.
Overall Bad Movie Night rating: A-

The shitty CGI sharks, silly script, dumb plot and unnecessary explosions make it look like a made-for-SyFy film, but perfect fodder to make fun of with your friends.
