Piranha 3D

Just got back from a midnight showing of Piranha 3d and I have to admit it was more enjoyable than I thought it would be.

To be honest I had a few drinks before the movie so I was rip roaring and ready to go. First off the beginning of the movie has a cameo,a somewhat surprise cameo from a well known actor, reviving one of his most beloved and famous roles. Side note alto of the sheer enjoyment of the movie were scenes that were featured in the trailer, but now you get to see them in 3D. Anyway the movie starts off slow after "said" awesome opening and doesn't really get moving for another half hour.

But when it gets going the blood, guts and nudity don't stop for the rest of the movie. The characters are really ho-hum so who cares as they slowly become chum. But I did end up rooting for some characters to live but felt nothing when they died because their deaths are carnage candy, realistic flesh wounds and bite marks. Blood clouding the water and there is a symphony of body parts dropping through the water. I would expect nothing less from the director of the remake of The Hills Have Eyes and Haute Tension.

I could rip on the 3D, but that's kind of passe, it accents a couple scenes of the movie but otherwise no real purpose. However there are two scenes that are interesting. 1. A nude lesbian scene underwater and another that I wont spoil I'll just say Sausage!

The last thing to note is the awesome cast in the movie, Elisabeth Shue, Richard Dreyfuss,Ving Rhames, Christopher Llyod, Eli Roth and Jerry O'Connel. they are all in on the joke and each bring something to the movie. Once again I can happily say "Don't Go In The Water"!!

P.S. See Scott Pilgrim!!
