2016: Films I've Watched in July (20 movies items)"First watched in the theater 7/21/2016 THEY DID IT!!!! They really did everyone! They finally made a solid shark film that doesn't just piggy back off of JAWS we have more then just one really good shark movie I took them a little over 40 years but they did it :D!!!! But, honestly I had a lot of fun with this film it delivered exactly what I wanted a shark movie with tension and fear. Our lead Blake Lively does a great job as our likable and frankly bad-ass survivor heroine and I look forwa"
Movies the giraffe watched in 2016: July (38 movies items)"First viewing - July 10th The Shallows is basically a single location film, and we all know how much I dig those. Blake Lively rocks her role, displaying a range of emotions and bringing a strong female character to life successfully.

2016 Movies Seen (106 movies items)"Was an alright film if you want something to see on cable and you have nothing else to do. Blake Lively looks fantastic in a bathing suit and her versus the shark was an entertaining enough watch. Unfortunately everything else around it didn't interest me in the least, not her past or the few supporting characters in the film either.
