Sand Sharks (2011) Review

Sand SharksHave you ever seen the movie Jaws? Did you like it? If you did, then you probably won’t like Sand Sharks. How about the movie Piranha, have you seen that? I did. In fact I thought it was ace! But I didn’t like Sand Sharks.

How about we try being a bit more general, yeah? Let’s give this a little room to breath. Ok. Have you ever seen a movie? Of course you have. So what was it that you liked about it? Did it have a good story? Was the acting super-awesome?

Not funny you guys. Not funny.
