Words. I can’t find them. This… this is just amazing. I mean, not in the sense that it looks any sort of good. It’s just amazing that there was money that backed this idea. Here, take a look, then let’s talk.
Shark-fucking-nado. It’s a tornado of sharks. And the tornado, as someone states in the trailer, needs to be destroyed. So not only is there a tornado loaded with sharks, but it’s the tornado itself that they have to stop. Listen, if Bill Paxton can’t even stop a regular tornado, there’s no one on the planet that can stop a Sharknado.
But hey, you know what? At least The Asylum (the production company behind other gems such as Shark VS Giant Octopus and Abraham Lincoln VS Zombies) comes complete with out any pretensions. At least, unlike so many movies making horrible attempts at being good movies, they’ve dropped the bullshit and let you know that this is completely ridiculous. And obviously they’ve been making money from their other shitty movies prior to this one because the CG keeps getting a little better each movie. Pretty soon, the Asylum will be popping out phenomenal looking terrible movies that’ll at least be funny enough to be better than 90% of the same kind of movie (minus the comedy) that Hollywood is passing for blockbusters these days.
I’ll be honest, this is one to watch with some buddies and about 100 beers. You might be thinking, “but Dave, this is schlock garbage. This is what is wrong with cinema”. Well my friend, everything in cinema these days is what’s wrong with cinema. Might as well kick back and enjoy the show.
And hey look… apparently Tara Reid’s in it. So she’s not dead after all. It’s just her career that passed away some years ago.
Love, your idiot pal,
-Dave
