Monster Movies
I have a thing for zombie movies. Well really it's zombies, vampires and werewolves, but zombies are at the top right now. Betty Please has a thing for monster movies. You know, like Cloverfield, The Host, Godzilla, Creature from the Black Lagoon...monster movies. So as you can imagine, between the two of we watch a lot of really bad movies. The great thing about Netflix instant queue is that we can watch these waste of celluloids, and we haven't lost anything but an hour and half or so.Last night we started watching one of the most fantastically awful movies that we've ever voluntarily watched that wasn't on MST3K. This movie, Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus, staring Debbie Gibson and Lorenzo Lamas, which aught to tip you off to just how stellar a movie it is, is so bad that it's hilarious. I don't know if it was meant to be funny, but it's a riot. How could you not love a movie where a gigantic shark jumps out of the ocean and grabs a passenger airplane out of the cloud cover in the sky. Or how about the octopus who is so enormous that it can completely engulf a drilling platform off shores of Japan. Perhaps the best part of this movie is the science. Debbie Gibson is so believable as a marine biologist, I almost forgot I was watching sci-fi. Watching her reaction as she mixes together brightly colored potions for who only knows what purpose, is priceless. I so can not wait to get home tonight to finish the film.
Netflix thought we'd give Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus 4 stars. I think we just might.
Oh My Gawd is that movie bad. But it's so bad that it's good.
If you're into zombie movies you might be interested in hearing about a zombie based tv show they're trying to get up and running. It's called The Walking Dead, the comic series is amazing and one can only hope the show, which is based on the comic series, will be just as good.
That sounds awesome! I'll have to look into that.
I must see this movie - Lorenzo Lamas and Debbie Gibson? Awesome.
And I just posted about the walking dead in the BlogHer Group "Everything's Coming Up Zombies" - I really want to see it!
I LOVE that movie!! Especially when debbie does the little geeky guy. Excellent!
