is there any way to find music.concert price drops, or do you just visually scan the main list?

I hope they burned it, like they should have done with the rest of the film. I pity anyone who wastes money on this movie. I LOVE Piranha. I love campy films. I love horror films. Heck, I typically even love BAD films. This is none of the above. Shark Night is so terrible, it shouldn't even be classified as a film. Don't be fooled by the trailers. This ain't no Piranha.

I'm rarely one to give opinions on movies, but I really want to save people from wasting their money on this POS. If you want to see it, rent it from Redbox. Don't buy it, or you'll regret it.

I hope you rented it and didn't buy it, or even better, watched it for free...

Thanks for making that list. I try to limit my lists to movies and TV programs, including nature programing and animé (because they seem to have fans here), to keep the workload down. I don't list music, wrestling, and stuff like that. The plethora of music/concert/symphony/opera titles of late has been annoying because it takes more time to sort through them all and to try to pick out the movies and TV titles.

Oh, I had no intent in buying it. I rented it from Blockbuster yesterday and it was horrible, but I was just curious why no 3D version was released.

Thanks for the warning. I tend to gravitate to horror films but I'll now avoid this flick like the plague.

I was looking through the 3D Blu-rays at Amazon UK the other night. I saw your post and thought that I remember seeing it. Sure enough, Shark Night is getting a 3D Blu-ray release there this month: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shark-Night-...5734217&sr=8-1

Of course, it just makes me more curious to watch it to know just how bad it really is.

But it appears to be region locked(if Amazon uk specs are correct).

Seriously don't waste your money. It isn't laughable bad, where you may get "some" enjoyment out of it. It is just plain stupid. Even the 3D sucked. I think there was ONE good 3D effect in the entire movie.

Whew! Glad to hear it. I can't imagine one single person that has seen it first, actually buying the movie. Even if one of your kids is starring in it, you shouldn't buy it. Heck, even the stars are probably telling their parents not to waste their money on it...

OK, I've said my peace. I don't want to hijack this thread. I just wanted to help prevent a few people from flushing money down the toilet... Back to our regularly scheduled bargains, starring Lizard...

I just posted that on the other thread. Tempting, but Best Buy has an exclusive for the same price. I think I'll hold off on Amazon until I see what the exclusive is.
