April 26 movie: Deep Rising. Good lord this was bad. It was basically Alien with giant squid. Who are huge because they evolved at 40,000 feet below sea level, but are also tiny enough to swim through plumbing pipes when they need to. Also they roar like lions, and have big mouths on the ends of their tentacles, and can survive indefinitely out of water. And they're smart enough to learn how to shut hatches and "herd" the cast from one part of the ship to another. The movie seemed like an enjoyably stupid romp until the very end, which was so very very stupid that it made the whole thing seem a waste of my time in retrospect. That's valuable time I could have been web surfing! Oh wait, I was web surfing while I watched. Never mind then.
