New Shark Movie, Guys! Wait! The Shark's in VENICE!

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 2:44 PM

I know, I know! I said there was no way that any shark film could ever top Mega-Shark vs. Octopus—and I was right. HOWEVER! Shark in Venice comes pretty freaking close. Why? Only because it stars STEPHEN MOTHERFREAKING BALDWIN, a bunch of foreign guys who talk like they've got peanut butter and marbles in their mouths, and a script that features a blatant Indiana Jones rip-off… OH! And sharks that eat the shit out of those fruity gondola pilots. ROLL IT!

It's hard to take any shark movie seriously if it doesn't star LL Cool J.

It's also awesome for the "roar" sound these sharks make! Tiger sharks?

They were playing this at Movie Madness the other day. I spent about ten minutes watching it trying to figure out which Baldwin it was, and then I watched it some more because it was just a sweet ass movie.

Henriksen is apparently better at keeping up with his dumb sharks than he is with his Golden Gate Bridge appearances.

Okay.. so. This movie. Come on. They're just making this shit on purpose now to cater to the ironic taste of asshole hipsters like me. Except, I can't enjoy it so much if it's made that way on purpose.

Okay. I'll probably still enjoy it. I loved Snakes on a Plane. I saw it in a theater full of drunk people shouting at the screen, though.

Sequel! SHARK IN THE VENETIAN! Shark invades that dumb mall with the fake sky and shitty canal. Ironic horror run amok in shitty, overpriced Vegas novelty hotel.
