Finally, a 3-D Movie I'm Excited to See!

I haven't seen any of the recent batch of 3-D movies in 3-D, and I don't really feel like I've missed out on much. Finally, though, a 3-D movie is coming out that I'd love to see: Piranha 3-D. Oh, yeah, that movie that terrorized me (and probably some of you) so much as a kid is coming back. I didn't realize as a kid that the director of Piranha would go on to direct so many movies that would have such a big impact on me. Joe Dante went on from Piranha to direct Gremlins, of course, and its sequel, and another influential kids movie Explorers. He also directed Innerspace, a movie I have probably an inordinate fondness for, and Small Soldiers, ditto. His real classic, though, is of course, The Howling, the first and best real exploration of the sexual nature of werewolves. Without Joe Dante there would be no Harry Lupus, and, without Piranha there would be no Joe Dante as we know him. (And, in a minor note, Piranha 2: The Spawning helped launch James Cameron's career. (One of the best things about Piranha 2 is Milhouse's description of a scene that I can't even remember is or is not in the movie.))

But what makes Piranha 3-D potentially awesome is that it stars curvaceous Kelly Brook, in a bikini

I dunno if current 3-D movies are as sleazy as those from the 70s, but if they are Kelly Brook can certainly add some dimension to a picture.
