Twenty 20-Sharks continues with a movie that's mad about oil spills. (It's oil. The black demon is oil.)

Twenty 20-Sharks: The Black Demon (2023)
Shark movies can't *not* reference Jaws. It's against the law(s).

There's a reason it's called 'streaming slop'. Because it's never very deep.

Welcome to the world of streaming slop, baby!

Twenty 20-Sharks returns with a movie that asks the hard questions. Questions like: What if a shark was really, really big?

Twenty 20-Sharks continues with the true story that inspired the best scene in Jaws. Because we are incapable of escaping Jaws.

War movies can also be shark movies.

The Shallows came out 10 years ago this month. So Happy Shark Week!

Best shark movie since Jaws? Best shark movie since Jaws *so far*.

Twenty 20-Sharks continues with The Reef which, frankly, is about as exciting as you think it is. Which is to say it really isn't.

Twenty 20-Sharks: The Reef (2010)
Yup. That's a reef, alright.

Twenty 20-Sharks enters the 90s with a Jaws ripoff so blatant and shameless that, depending on my mood, is either the best or worst movie I've covered so far
joescinemarama.com
Twenty 20-Sharks: Cruel Jaws (1995)
The biggest Jaws ripoff in an endless flood of Jaws ripofs!

I watched all four Mortal Kombat movies this weekend and have come to the realization that this new one might be the best. Or maybe I just enjoy seeing Karl Urban in things. Who knows?

Twenty 20-Sharks continues with one of the flimsiest films we've covered yet, but somehow also one of the better ones?

Twenty 20-Sharks continues with an Italian shark movie that, naturally, goes by several different names.
joescinemarama.com
Twenty 20-Sharks: Devil Fish (1984)
Prime 80s Italian horror sleaze, and that's me complimenting it.

Twenty 20-Sharks continues with entirely too many words about Jaws 2, a movie that feels as inevitable as it is pointless.

Twenty 20-Sharks: Jaws 2 (1978)
How do you follow the biggest movie of all time?

A new horror film that plays like a tone poem on the nature of grief. Here's my review of HAUNTERS OF THE SILENCE.

REVIEW: Haunters of the Silence (2026)
An evening of spooks and specters, a visualization of grief.

Twenty-six shark movies in Twenty 20-Sharks!

Twenty 20-Sharks: Intro to Sharks
It's a new year, and therefore a new opportunity to completely bungle another year‑long movie challenge! Last year's project, Twenty 20‑Fav, burned out around October after 30 entries, with ten still left on the table. Maybe I'll get back to finishing it. Then again, maybe not. Who's to say? This year, though, we’re scaling back (slightly) with a much more manageable goal: 26 shark movies in 2026. That’s roughly two every month, with a couple extras thrown in just for fun. Why shark movies? Wasn't the 50th anniversary of…

Twenty 20-Fav continues with The Wolf of Wall Street, where the excess is very much the point, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Favreau may be out of the director's chair, but Happy Hogan will return.

Favreau's "Cowboys & Aliens" feels more like a sticky note on a blank page than a finished screenplay.

Twenty 20-Fav: Cowboys & Aliens (2011)
Favreau may have left Marvel for greener pastures, but this ain't it, chief.

Iron Man 2 is still garbage, but it comes from a time when "Thunderstruck" wasn't the only AC/DC song in the world.

Twenty 20-Fav continues with Four Christmases, which brings back my favorite running gag in this series: Jon Favreau beating up Vince Vaughn.

Twenty 20-Fav: Four Christmases (2008)
Neither romantic, nor a comedy.
