The only way to enjoy this stupid, stupid film is with an audience that can't stop laughing.
That's exactly what they were going for, though.

They're making a sequel. Sharknado II: The Second One.
Yeah, I guess that could make it fun to watch. The thing is that on top of being almost unbelievably stupid, it's soooo badly made.

Anyway, this weekend I saw:
Funny Games - Liked it for what it is. Very good performances all around.
The Experiment - It's ok, but a bit over the top.
Lucia y el Sexo - Just a big pile of meh.

Binge watched a bunch of movies this weekend:

Man of Steel - C- Meh. Couldn't get into it at all.

This is the End - B- The action/special effects were better than the comedy.

Hangover III - B- Not too bad, miles better than II.

Insidious 2 - C- Not a bad sequel, I just hate how they use the loud music to punctuate scares.

Country Cottage - D Thought this would be a good black comedy/horror movie, i was wrong.

The Heat - B Not as funny as everyone said it was, but still good.

You're Next - B Now this was a good example of black comedy/horror movie.

The World's End - B- This one started off great, but ran out of gas when it went action over comedy.

Prisoners - A- Excellent suspense movie with great performances from Jackman, Gyllenhall, Leo, Dano.

Watched Cape Fear for the first time. Being a lifelong Simpsons fan, I struggled to take it seriously.

For some reason - I couldn't get into Boy all that much. Maybe I need to give it another watch.
