Indie Movie Review – Shark Encounters of the Third Kind

January 13, 2021

Some films you know what you are going to get before you walk in. There may have been a buzz about them. There may have been a massive publicity campaign. It could just be the title. Shark Encounters of the Third Kind falls into the last category; not since Snakes On A Plane has the premise of a film […]

August 27, 2019

Newie Review – The Reef – Low Budget, Decent, Non Campy Shark Movie

June 12, 2019

This 2010 Aussie shark film should be fairly simple to review, as nothing much happened besides a lot of open ocean swimming. If you’re frightened easily and don’t like horror, don’t worry: you won’t have much trouble watching The Reef. It’s not that kind of movie. I’m not entirely clear what kind of movie this […]
