But what I really want to know is, has anybody seen "Abar, the First Black Superman"? That movie is so bad, it's good! Whoa, I've never heard of it, and judging by the mere 13 votes it has tallied on IMDb, nobody else has either. Where did you come across that one? I seriously doubt any of the local video stores will have it, but I'll definitely look for it. |

The theater I work at has a weekly wednesday midnight showing that's always free, always weird. They just pull prints of films from wherever...I've seen some of the best and some of the worst films of my life there. I believe it's always free, because the screening rights for these things are impossible to track down.
One of the highlights of the 'so bad it's good' screenings was John Carpenter's "Darkstar"

Oh, I've got a nice one to add, Decoys. Bout two college guys finding out all the hot girls in their school are aliens with tentacles growing out of their brests... the pain!! Ofcourse nobody believes them, ofcourse they are suspect number one for all the dead bodies turning up, ofcourse there's a cop that's just an ***hole and wants one thing, putting them behind bars and the best is, when one of them is in a relation with one of the alien chicks and she explains the whole thing to him he's like..."Ok, i love you nomatter what..." Oh come on!! Dark days in the history of movies...

Oh, I've got a nice one to add, Decoys ... Oh come on!! Dark days in the history of movies... What's really sad is that Decoys was made in 2004. I'm pretty excited - I've currently got Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy resting comfortably on my DVR. A movie where shark and human DNA are combined? How can that not provide plenty of unintentional entertainment? |

Man oh man, it starts off with the premise that sharks have never succumbed to cancer, so a scientist decided to transfer shark cells into his son who had cancer, thinking that might save him. Well, of course, it just turned his son into a shark/human hybrid and then the fun began. |

Dude. it's sad that something in me thought, very briefly, "Wow, what a good idea!"
Then, that part started working out details of combining shark with human... and another part of me slapped it.
Can't wait to read that review.

The "Hammerhead" movie JB reviewed today sounds an awful lot like a Peter Benchely book titled "White Shark." It's about a mad Nazi scientist (because, let's face it, when you need a really evil genius--who better than the Nazis?) has created the ultimate soldier by crossing shark and human DNA. Mutant shark kills alot of people. The end.
It was made into a TV movie a few years ago called "The Creature" or something similarly clever like that, and starred Craig T. Nelson. The mutant shark-man was also a dude in a lame rubber shark suit. They kill the shark-man-thing by stuffing it into a hyperbaric chamber and increasing the air pressure until it gets squished. *splat*
Too cool...

It was called Creature. I think it had some sequels.

Jeez, when I see that picture in jb's review I start wondering who the actor is in that suit... Hannibal from The A Team?? My god.

Wow, you're so right! It looks just like Hannibal!
Perhaps in a sequel, Hammerhead can fight the Aquamaniac.
anybody in a costume like that should throw some props out to hAnnibal, and at some point smoke a cigar, or at least have a puff of smoke coming out through the ears or something.

Whoa, how sad is it when you have to rip-off Creature? I do have to give Hammerhead credit - they at least had an original ending. You see, the nitrogen levels in Shark Boy are already too high - that's its weakness. So they had to expose it to more nitrogen in order to cause it to explode. Quick thinking. |

Every year at Thanksgiving, my family and I engage in a unqiue tradtion: the viewing of a really bad shark movie. This year, it was---
[glow=red,2,300]Dark Waters[/glow]
Starring: Lorenzo Lamas, his hair, pecs, and some Australian chick you've never heard of.
The Plot: Evil scientists have created genetically mutated sharks. The sharks kill people. Lorenzo Lamas and his hair are a world-renowned team of oceanographers searching for Atlantis. An evil industrialist says he'll give their expedition a half million dollars if they just do this one little task--go to the Gulf of Mexico and see what happened to this oil rig he owns. The Australian chick comes along to wear a tight white tank top and get wet.
Some of the great dialogue:
Lamas: "We go on the count of three. Ready? 3...2....1... go!"
In the climactic scene, Lamas tries to lure one of the sharks close enough so Aussie Chick can shoot it. Their partner's head is bleeding from a cut, and this exchange takes place:
Lamas: Take your top off!
Aussie Chick: No, you take YOUR top off!
Lamas: You're wearing a bra! Take your top off! We can dip your top in his blood to lure the shark!
And so she does, and fights the sharks the rest of the film in her bra.
Well, what do you expect from the same director of the "Boa" and "Python" movies???

That sounds fabulous or, as Halle Berry would say on her mascara ad, fabuLASH.
I love shark movies. Was happy there was a shark scene in "Into the Blue."
That movie has Grease's Lorenzo Lamas and sharks and a tense top-taking-off scene. I'll try to HUNT that one down.
One I enjoyed was Mission of the Shark: The Saga of the U.S.S. Indianapolis (1991) so try to track that down before next Thanksgiving.
It stars Stacy Keach, Carrie Snodgress and NYPD Blue's David Caruso and Gordon Clapp (man, he really needs to change that surname).
You would think they wouldn't bother messing with shark DNA after seeing the ramifications in Samuel L Jackson's "Deep Blue Sea." Many people give their dogs shark cartilage to help with arthritis. A prequel to Shark Frenzy perhaps?
*aside*
Thank you JB for wishing your international viewers a happy Thursday. I did have a nice one.
