Sharknado 2!

SyFy's Shark week continued and I caught such diverse titles as Sand Sharks, Swamp Shark and the innovative Ghost Shark.  But best of all was last night's world premiere of Sharknado 2.

It was everything it promised to be: over the top, cheesy, outrageous and most importantly fun.  If you liked the first movie then this is definitely for you.  If you didn't 'get' the first one, I'd give this one a lot of space :-)

Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark

All well here in Rhode Island and continuing to settle in though we will be in the hotel for another month yet.  Good news is that we have cable in our room and the SyFy channel is having Shark Movie Week in the lead up to the release of Sharknado 2.  Strangely SWMBO didn't see this as good news...

So last night we saw Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark, released earlier this year as a latest instalment of the Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus trilogy. This Mega Shark clearly just won't quit.

Now I love me a cheesy shark movie and this had all the promise of the awesomeness of Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla, but this one really was a stinker.  It wasn't the wooden acting (expected), or the horrendous plot (mandatory), or even the fact that it tried to be a serious movie (it was like they gave up half way); the clincher for me was the final Act in which Mega Shark goes to Sydney to find a mate.  The fake Aussie accents and backdrops just ruined it for me.  However, one highlight is that Mecha Shark has a tracked 'Amphibious mode'.  Kewl.

Of the three movies in this series, Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus is my favourite.  On the bright side though, I also got to watch the wonderfully cheesy Dinoshark and I think Sharknado 2 will be worth waiting for - deliberately fun and campy is hard to pass up!

Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark

As if there wasn't enough to look forward to in 2014! Awesome, in an ultimately cheesy way, and it appears we' may get to see Sydney destroyed - Bwahahaha!  And yes, its by the creators of Sharknado!



How good is the look on the pilots' faces at the end!

Sharknado!

In the best traditions of awful B grade shark movies, my kids made sure I saw this sensation which appeared in my absence.  Its is best described as "Sharknado is a 2013 made for television disaster movie about a waterspout that lifts sharks out of the ocean and deposits them in Los Angeles" - and thats exactly what you get!

A must watch laugh from end to end!

Dinoshark

Every bit as wonderfully cheesy as you might fear, but way better than Megashark vs Giant Octopus!  The dialogue was rather painful but worth battling through for the last 30 mins which has some great scenes and a wonderfully high bodycount.  Cheer as Dinoshark goes for guys on parasails and jetskis, tears through a girls water polo match and takes a general dislike to anything over, on or in the water.  Actually, just watch the trailer below and you've seen most of the best bits.

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus

Sharktopus was classic, B grade cheezy fun, but this one was just an epic fail...

...and that is really saying something!

Sharktopus!

The Lad chose tonight's viewing - the deliberately cheezy and dreadful flick Sharktopus!

Fun for all the family cheering for the beast and guessing which bimbo will be the next victim!

A half-shark, half-octopus creature created for the military, creates a whole lot of terror in Mexico while a scientist who helped created it tries to capture/kill it.

Horrornews.net said "Full of Kickassitude you can't go wrong with the cheesy goodness covered in awesome sauce that is Sharktopus!"  Not sure if I'd go that far but it was a good laugh.
