New Releases, 21 April

It's going to be a great week in Movietown, there's no doubt about it. Something for everyone, and nothing for no one. Equal opportunities for all and special privileges for none, except for Mayor Heywood J. Shinydisc III. He does what he wants.

INTO THE BLUE 2: THE REEF
Sequel to the hot beach film "Into the Blue." It was hard to find a good review, so I linked to a poorly written one--this way you can ignore it if you want.
