DARK TIDE Blu-Ray Review

DARK TIDE Blu-Ray Review
By: RAMA


Did RAMA get swept away by the tide?

Great white sharks never get the best reputation in movies, so DARK TIDE is yet another portrayal, sadly this is one film that gets lost in long winded boring dialogue, with only a few, very few mildly interesting shark encounter shots but they’re not exactly worth the wait. I’m not sure which Halle Berry movie is worse, Catwoman or DARK TIDE…
If you’ve come to see Halle Berry in bikini or wearing some tight diving outfit, that accentuates her sexy curves, you’re probably not going to be disappointed because that’s pretty much all that the movie could offer you. The rest, the whole question of ethics, and the trauma over the loss of a friend, the ex-boyfriend using a friend’s skills to make money and the rich stubborn father-son relationship are all over the place, they’re a mess, from the script to the directing to the performances, this movie tests your patience and throws it out the window, I’m not surprised why it only receives limited theatrical release and then goes straight to blu-ray/DVD, because the film’s dull quality speaks for itself.

For a movie that sells itself as a drama/thriller, DARK TIDE sure lacks bite and when the horrifying moments do arrive way, way at the end, it seems that the story just settles for easy blood and gore because it either just wants to get it over with or it’s unable to come up with a decent closure to make up for everything that’s dreadful leading up to it.

DARK TIDE doesn’t scare you into not wanting to get back into the water, DARK TIDE scares you into not wanting to watch any Halle Berry movie from here on out.

Kate (Berry) is a shark expert whose business has been failing since a shark attack killed a fellow diver under her command. Once dubbed “the shark whisperer,” Kate is haunted by the memory of the attack and unable to get back into the water. With bills piling up and the bank about to foreclose on Kate’s boat, Kate’s ex-boyfriend Jeff (Martinez) presents her with a lucrative opportunity: lead a thrill-seeking millionaire businessman on a dangerous shark dive…outside the cage. Battling her self-doubts and fear, Kate accepts the proposal — and sets a course for the world’s deadliest feeding ground: Shark Alley.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
