The joke is firmly on us.

I myself like a lot of cinematic offerings that require the brain to be left at the door. There's something very calming about being able to sit back and drive oneself into a movie with absolutely no worries about themes, agendas, politico posturing and etc. What shouldn't be tolerated is when film makers ask you to not only leave your brain at the door, but to also dribble with it and slam dunk it into the nearest garbage can.

Alexandre Aja's 2010 redux of Piranha was a whole bunch of fun, even away from the 3D, in 2D form it had a devilish glint in its eye, but... read the rest.

The piranhas are back. Why? Not really sure, don't really care. But they are, and its a sad sight. This time they manage to lure their way into a water park, and you surely imagine what will happen.

Good watch, will likely watch again, and can recommend.

Compared to even the 1995 version, this version definitely increased the amount of nudity and gore, or at least blood in this.

Since this is more of a comedy-horror, having a waterpark "going wild" be the setting for this particular creature actually works out quite a bit.

You'd think once the killing starts that the comedy might stop, it has laughs all the way through, and while they're not necessarily all "classy" jokes, this isn't really a "classy" movie.

I'm honestly surprised (but grateful) to see Danielle Panabaker in thi... read the rest.
