Crikey, Mate!
Took some time away from procrastinating to watch Raging Sharks. It had aliens in it. Aliens that make sharks rage. I realize that they need something to intensify shark behavior for horror movies. Thanks to Shark Week most people know that sharks aren't into destroying our boats or willfully chomping us. Alien intervention is a whole nother story. That, a lack of an FX budget, and a much more horrible cast separates this movie from say, Deep Blue Sea.
I was able to watch this movie in about 45 minutes since I fast forwarded through a lot of "plot" featuring truly horrible casting, acting, dialogue, photography, sound (what's up with all the growling?) and I'll mention the acting again because it was just so painfully bad. The shark attacks were bloody and pretty cool even though they used certain stock shots too many times. Plus, why did they keep going out in the water when they knew there were Raging Sharks afoot? I mean, staying away from water is a pretty easy way to not encounter sharks. The whole painful experience was totally worth it to see a school of Raging Sharks lay waste to a beach full of happy, swimming families. Oh yeah, and Corbin Bernsen stood out as giving the only non-painfully bad performance.
Of course after watching so much tasteless violence, I was ready for some tasteful violence. Happily, The Krays came on IFC at 3am. I'd never seen it all the way through, and it was a damn good watch. Billie Whitelaw is amazing as always as Violet Kray, and the twins who played the Kray twins kept me mesmerized. Good, strong, bloody stuff. Do catch it if you're into such things.

And the rest of it is good for some laughs.
The "aussie" guy is hysterical.
