There really haven’t been any breathtaking, blow-your-mind, first-class shark movies since Jaws in 1977 and I highly doubt Shark Night 3D, due in theaters on September 2, 2011, will change that fact. Still, sharks are awesome and so are bikinis, and by the looks of it, this movie has both. Shark Night 3D is directed by David R. Ellis (Snakes on a Plane) and stars Sara Paxton (Last House on the Left), Dustin Milligan (Slither), Chris Carmack (The O.C.), Joel David Moore (Avatar) and Katherine McPhee (The House Bunny). From IMDB.com and Wikipedia, I learned the movie is set in Louisiana and a bunch of college pals endure a night of hell when they encounter sharks galore in – gasp! – a freshwater lake! I expect this to be super campy and super gory. I also offer a prayer to the movie gods that it will be better than last summer’s letdown, Piranha 3D.
