Shark Tale is not a tale worth telling
Jacquie, her brother Rich and I went to see Shark Tale yesterday. Well, I would highly recommend avoiding this turd of a movie, as the story is predictable enough that you'll know the ending before the flick even begins. And for a comedy, it sure as hell is not funny.
I think Hollywood is going just a little bit overboard on the CGI animated feature film thing. In the Shark Tale previews, there were three (count 'em) trailers for CGI movies -- The Incredibles, The Polar Express and some movie about robots featuring an all-star cast (and I think from the same yahoos that made Shark Tale).
So that was last night. In the afternoon, Logan dropped by with a copy of Lady Death: The Motion Picture. While it could've been great, it suffered from poor dialogue and crappy voice acting, which is kind of weird for the production company. ADV Films has actually turned into a really good anime producer in terms of voice actors. Unfortunately, this American-produced animation obviously wasn't given enough thought in regards to dialogue and voice acting. Too bad.
Lady Death did have one good thing going for it. Nipples of death! ;)
