Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

If nothing else, the new Piranha is worth it for a 3D nude underwater lesbian ballet – as Kelly Brook (bless!) and porn star Riley Steele simultaneously hold their breaths and each other’s breasts to the tune of that opera aria (the Flower Duet from Lakmé by Delibes) familiar as the sapphic sex theme in The Hunger. With a barely minimal explanation, mutant cannibal piranha from the Pleistocene start munching on everyone in sight! Actors are pretty much superfluous, but Sheriff Elisabeth Shue does one great stepping-from-one-upturned-boat-to-the-next stunt, Christopher Lloyd sells the lunatic icthyology lecture, Ving Rhames takes on fish with a shotgun, and Jerry O’Connell’s prosthetic penis features in a scene without precedent in legal films.

Movie Review from TotalFilm.com

Kelly Brook has had her knockers, but no one can accuse her of not making the most of her assets.

And nobody could accuse Alexandre Aja of not doing the same in his stereoscope redo of Joe Dante’s 1978 fish-athon, there being almost as many shots of the Brit babe’s mammaries as there are of the prehistoric flesh eaters that give it its name.

Movie Review from Hollywood.com

Those who’ve watched MTV’s Spring Break and wished for its undulating crew of debauched partiers to be devoured wholesale, or who’ve witnessed Girls Gone Wild’s shameless exploitation of drunken college girls and longed for its smarmy founder, Joe Francis, to receive a grisly dose of karmic justice, or who’ve seen any of Eli Roth’s films and hoped for the “torture-porn” impresario to receive a dose of his own vile medicine, will find their catharsis in Piranha 3D. What they will not find is much in the way of a plot, quality acting, or anything remotely resembling restraint. But you weren’t really expecting that in a film about killer fish, were you?

Movie Review from TimeOut.com

Alexandre Aja says his 3D re-working of Joe Dante’s 1978 original is an attempt to recreate the ‘guilty pleasure movies’ of his youth. So here, in the best/worst traditions of ’70s exploitation cinema, are flesh-eating fishy gore, lip-smacking nudity and lots of laugh-out-loud silliness. If you’re looking for the anti-establishment message found in the John Sayles’ scripted, Roger Corman-produced ‘Jaws’ rip-off, you will be disappointed. However, the re-make’s cheesy, eye-popping 3D effects – flayed bodies, naked breasts, vomit and a severed penis are all flung out of the screen – are an authentic, affectionate throwback to cheapo Cormanesque excess.

Movie Review from Movies.com

So yeah, Inception may be the most original mind-bender of the summer, Toy Story 3 the most emotionally satisfying, the latest from French masters Alain Resnais (Wild Grass) and Jacques Rivette (Around a Small Mountain) the ones that renewed my respect for amazing Euro-cinema and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World the most flashy and joyful. But I haven’t shouted out loud more or had more hit-the-armrest fun at a movie than at this one all summer–all year–long. Once it revs up it just goes faster and faster and gets crazier and crazier until you’re out of breath from all the insane, humanity-shredding entertainment.

Movie Review from Telegraph.co.uk

The suspense is as skimpy as the swimwear in this shameless 3D remake of Joe Dante’s 1978 Jaws spoof, directed by French gore specialist Alexandre Aja. The presence of Kelly Brook, who acquits herself fine, typifies an excessively guilty bit of Friday-night trash — it wants to have its breasts and eat them. It’s spring break at a lake in Arizona, and a minor quake unleashes prehistoric gnashers on an unsuspecting parade of partying hotties, under the concerned eye of Elisabeth Shue’s sassy sheriff.
