Rock & Read (1989)
An 80's Nightmare
I used to have this on VHS when I was a kid. Looking back at this now got me thinking of how awful and cheesy this is. Firstly the fashion in this shows how awful 80's fashion was. Also it had very trippy effects, kind of like an awkward 80's music video. Pauly Shore stars as the host, which is probably his weirdest role I have seen him in. It does teach kids how to read though, in a clever way. It is outdated by today's standards in early childhood education videos. Now if you are looking for something weird to watch, this would be it. It is fun for riffing on too. The acting is pretty bad as well. Don't watch it if you cannot stand singing by 5 year old children. Overall skip this. Watch it only if you are feeling a bit nostalgic and or a fan of 80's fashion
Jersey Shore Shark Attack (2012)
The Best SyFy Original Movie Yet
Jersey Shore Shark Attack is so bad that it's good. As a die hard Jersey Shore hater I had to check this movie out for myself. Usually SyFy Original Movies are terrible and ripoff other movies This one is a crossover parody where they mashup Jersey Shore and a generic shark Attack SyFy Movie. I literally couldn't stop laughing at this movie. I nearly died from laughter.
The parodies of the Jersey Shore cast was excellent and gave the Italian stereotype the bad rap that Jersey Shore brings. You have to see this to believe it. I was more excited for Jersey Shore Shark Attack than for next week's movie, Piranhaconda. This movie is one of the better SyFy original movies out there.
I can't wait for the DVD.
