Comments– This was not the underwater version of Alien I was hoping/expecting it to be.  Instead, this was a mix of romance, science fiction, disaster film, guy-going-crazy film, and war of the worlds.  AKA: Not Good.  There was WAY too much going on in this one for me to enjoy it, but even with everything happening, I got bored.  Bridgette, on the other hand, claims that this is one her favorite 80’s sci-fi flicks.  I honestly cannot see why.  Disappointing-Good.

Starting after movie #100, we are going to change up our format a little bit (I want to have 100 movies with the current format so I can do some easy averaging).  I figure after 100 movies this is getting a little stale, so changing things up will be good for both the readers and ourselves.  There will be more links (akin to what I did with the last 10 movie updates), the Netflix summary (because I am not a fan of coming up with my own synopsis when a decent one is readily available), and we’ll be ditching the 10-point scale for something much more basic (essentially, we’ll be a much less qualified Siskel and Ebert…or whoever works with Ebert these days).  If you have any suggestions on what you would like to read about, please leave a comment.

Thanks for reading.
