Man of her dreams part 4

Netflix is in the precarious position of having to negotiate for content with companies that have at varying times distrusted Netflixs business model or were openly hostile towards it. Heres the starting point: The studios would much man of her dreams part 4 sell consumers a DVD than rent them one. Profit margins on a movie sale are higher than on a rental. Reviewed by Judge David Johnson//October 8th, 2010 Judge David Johnson was taking a bath when his rubber ducky abandoned him. It was terrifying. Our reviews of Open Water published January 3rd, 2005 and Open Water 2: Adrift published March 16th, 2007 are also available. Fatigue. Hypothermia. Death. Susan and Daniel head to an island getaway to kick back and relax. When they surface from a scuba diving excursion, they discover their boat has left, stranding them in the middle of the ocean. What follows is 60 minutes of two people bobbing around hopelessly. I somehow missed this when it made a splash bam! on the theatrical circuit. Now that Ive finally gotten around to watching Open Water, I have to say: eh. Please note this is different from meh. Meh is an aggressively irritating Internet man of her dreams part 4 signifying severe apathy. Eh acknowledges the allure of something, despite the fact that it falls short of ones expectations. So Open Water gets a big, fat eh from me. Its a unique concept and admittedly a risky conceit to build an 80 minute feature around. While I appreciate the venture, I found it all well, boring. Lethally boring. Once the gimmick wore off and I realized we were just watching two people tread water, occasionally dodging shark bites, my eyes glazed over. Points, though, for the dark ending. Where the first film almost felt like a documentary, the sequel gets a slicker presentation, not unlike the Blair Witch Blair Witch Like those movies, the sequel is inferior to the original. Open Water 2 follows the exploits of six high school friends who get together for a fun time on a yacht. Unfortunately for them, theyre idiots and forget to lower the ladder when they jump off the boat. And you know what means? Thats right! More bobbing around hopelessly! The stakes are higher in this installment mainly because there are more potential victims. Also, theres a baby on the ship and you sort of feel bad for the waterlogged parents. But thats all the emotional investment I could summon for these characters. Sure, it sucks to be them, but I had hard time empathizing with their plight because a no one was interesting or likable, and b the solution to their situation is obvious and, needless to say, occurs to these buoyant brain surgeons at the very end, when its man of her dreams part 4 late to save anyones life or prevent me from punching myself in the throat the next time I hear a splashing sound effect. The technical specs: Open Water looks alright in 85:1 1080p, though its shot with a low-budget, home video style. This adds a bit to the authenticity of the ordeal and makes sense for what director Chirs Kentis was going for. As such, the HD quality doesnt leap off of the screen, providing just a mild bump in clarity and color. The DTS-HD 1 Master Audio doesnt do a whole lot either, since the sound is simplistic dialogue and splashing. Open Water 2 is just flat-out disappointing. The 35:1 1080p transfer is grainy and surprisingly low-res for a Blu-ray release. For a film that should pop with its sun-blasted setting, Adrift is awash in mediocrity. Another DTS-HD 1 Master Audio track and this one has a little more to do: a crying baby, bigger waves, and a thunderstorm! Extras: Open Water features two commentaries from the filmmakers and actors, deleted scenes, and a making-of featurette. Open Water 2 only offers up a full-frame behind-the-scenes documentary. The original is less guilty than the follow-up, but this isnt a trip the bench Im interested in taking again.
