Baddie: One large, bitter shark. Lesson: Surfing can be dangerous if you let it be? If you’ve followed Rooster Illusion and /horror [SciFridays] for a while, you’ll know I like shark movies.

Last week, I gave a resoundingly negative review to the BBC’s continuation of The Hollow Crown series. Their rendition of Henry VI, Part 1 was actually an adaptation of Part 1 and Part 2, and cut out over fifty percent of the two plays, and was otherwise just kind of terrible. That didn’t leave me…
