‘Bait’ (2012) plants hook of grocery-store shark horror
On the cutting edge: Every Michael Crichton film, ranked
Movie list: As Summer 2022 gives us new chapters in the “Jurassic” and “Westworld” sagas, let’s look back at the core canon of Crichton.
‘Point Break’ (1991) a dumb, then great, action classic
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): “Point Break” is a tale of two halves – first a cringingly dumb buddy copper, then an all-time genre gem.
Lazy sequel ‘Deep Blue Sea 2’ (2018) bites the big one
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): This sequel exists to cash in on the original’s name. It recycles the plot but does everything worse.
‘Shark Night’ (2011) shallow but humorously entertaining
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): “Shark Night” is too silly to be scary, but at least it has Sara Paxton, Katharine McPhee and hilarious shark kills.
‘Deep Blue Sea’ (1999) a smart actioner about smart-sharks
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): Renny Harlin’s thriller has its admirers and haters. After this rewatch, I realized I’m firmly in the former category.
‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ roars around globe with heart
Movie review: Every major player comes back for a romp that is not only a grand adventure, but actually has a reason to exist.

Movie review: Great actors sometimes give this Sony Spider-verse film the gravity of a staged morality play. But mostly, CGI bat swarms rule the screen.
‘The Boys’ are back in town for still-excellent Season 3
First episode impressions (TV review): Homelander’s evil and Starlight’s heroism take center stage as “The Boys” masters superheroes-as-parable.
‘Flight Attendant’ Season 2 a stark study of alcoholism
