The Requin (2022)
What the actual....?
Shark movies are famous for often being so bad, they're good. This one... was just bad. Not a single redeeming feature. Someone was either taking the piss or lost a bet. Sure, let's just put Alicia Silverstone in a water tank and use the world's worst FX while she cries for 90mins. People will pay to see that. Easily one of the worst cinematic experiences of a lifetime.
Dating Around (2019)
So simple, it's good
Trashy reality TV that doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Extremely well edited, with a few warm and fuzzy moments mixed in (as long as you're not currently heartbroken or desperately dating). If you're confidently single, there are some decent one-liners coming your way. But good to pair some wine, junk food and absent-mindedly playing on your iPad.
Zoo (2015)
Enjoy without expecting too much
OK, bear with me... This is my first review...
Before I binge watch a new TV show on one of my many streaming accounts, I check IMDb to see if I'm wasting my time - if it's really high, I'll probably click on it; on the other hand if it's under 7, I'm definitely looking at the user reviews.
'Zoo' is borderline. Not a great rating, but it's evened out with lots of ridiculous lows, quite a few average and some highs.
The problem with the 'ridiculously low' ones is that they're expecting too much. Don't go in thinking this is gonna be the new Joss Whedon breakaway, coz it just ain't gonna happen.
This particular show, if you can get past the frequently cheesiness and 'phlebotinum' is good enough to follow, enjoy and even evoke some decent emotion. Keep in mind that I'm the kind who likes to play games on my tablet whilst listening and occasionally looking up, so this type of show is perfect for me - if I miss anything, the recap will tend to get me there.
Not mind blowing, but I'll most likely be tuning in for season 3.
