Shark Bait (2006)
I'm not sure why the movie we rented was called "The Reef" but it's listed other places as "Shark Bait"???
Weak. Low quality animation, weak story, bad Nemo rip off (blatant at times). A bit too violent too. I was surprised how often they were hitting each other, pushing, etc. and just playing it off like this is how you live. Usually kids movies are way the other way: violence doesn't solve anything, we can all be friends, peace, man. No biggie, for a 6 year old or something, but I was a little surprised it was G.
Haiku summary:
fish loses parents
reef, love, blah... weak all around
fights, kills shark for love

A Scanner Darkly (2006) - 3/5
A Scanner Darkly (2006)
IMO the rotoscoping was distraction. I think it was done VERY well and actually fit the story, but it overshadowed the story for me. I paid more attention to that than I wd like.
Unfortunately, I also felt the story was over powered by the performances. They were so over the top (which fit the characters) that it was more like just watching performances than a story.
I was surprised to see so many big names and maybe that hurt a bit too - too much to look at, think about, etc.
SPOILERS:
How were they able to eat/take pills through the suit?

bad cop or good guy
he doesn't know either
D will mess you up
