...choreographed and shot by Leterrier's constantly prowling, soaring camera work, but aren't candidates for the CGI Monsters' Hall of Fame. In fact, when the Kraken shows up at the climax to claim Andromeda (Alexa Davalos), the creature looks less like Harryhausen's majestic creature from the Greek lagoon and more like Gamera, the killer turtle in a dozen Japanese B movies. There's also an odd, kinky kick to the sight of Andromeda strung up on a seaside platform like the most elegant bondage babe at Voyeur West Hollywood. But mostly this is strong, solid adventure, unsullied...
...skipper for Harvard throughout the two-day affair were juniors Alan Palmer, Teddy Himler, and Stokes, along with sophomore Brendan Kopp. Senior Michelle Konstadt, junior Megan Wareham, and freshman Alma Lafler took care of the Crimson’s crewing duties in the Washington Sailing Marin Lagoon, which posed an unexpected additional challenge for some teams...
...trip was a “volunteer-cation” because, when we weren’t working, we explored the beauty of Nicaragua—surfing down the volcano Cerro Negro, swimming in a freshwater lagoon, playing games like “never have I ever” on cots under the stars, and dancing (or attempting to dance) to reggaeton.

...remark to make about an actress who had 60 years of film and TV roles ahead of her. After playing in a few other British films, notably as Emmeline the nubile castaway (the role that brought stardom to Brooke Shields three decades later) in Frank Launder's The Blue Lagoon, Simmons went to Hollywood and stayed there. Her first of four movies for Hughes was her best: Otto Preminger's Angel Face (1952), essentially a feature-length rendition of the Ophelia mad scene. As Diane, a young Englishwoman in Southern California, she's in hysterics when Mitchum first sees...
...night in Havana with Brando's Sky Masterson (he's made a $1,000 bet he can take her there), she's the innocent blossoming into sexual joy. That emotional unbuttoning is something the actress had rarely been allowed to portray in her early roles, except for The Blue Lagoon. As Estella, for example, she is selfishly pleased with the shattering impact of first love on Pip; here a Simmons character gets to experience the sunburst of that poignant rapture on herself. She sings, dances (with much more abandon and expertise than in Black Narcissus) and gets in a fight...
