Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus
When the trailer hit for writer/director Jack Perez’s ‘Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus’, the Internet was a buzz with excitement and the hope that a true B-Movie had returned. Pitching two extinct goliaths of the oceans, the megalodon, a sixty feet long mega shark and a giant octopus, against each other sounded like a stroke of genius but the execution harks back to the very worst of the B-Movie era to produce a film that even Ed Wood would be ashamed of.
A low budget, B-Movie will never attract a big name star but they can bring in someone who you might have heard of. For ‘Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus’, writer/director Jack Perez has gone back to the 80s and hired a woman who was a teen sensation. With hits like ‘Shake your love’, ‘Only in my dreams’ and ‘Foolish Beat’, Debbie Gibson was the Britney Spears of her generation. Now, known as a more grown up Deborah Gibson she has turned her talents to acting but she need not have bothered. As Emma MacNeil, you are expected to believe that see is a marine scientist who can save the world from a giant shark and an octopus by pouring different coloured liquids into test tubes. With your Pop Princess on board, she is joined by other performers who shouldn’t have a space in the life raft. Vic Chao is awful as Dr. Seiji Shimada, the love interest for Gibson and Sean Lawlor is just as bad as her mentor Lamar Sanders. The worst of the bunch is Lorenzo Lamas, who just wants to be the new Steven Segal and he has the ponytail to prove it.

Agent Tony and Agent Ziva had just gotten locked in a cargo container down at the docks, and I must have accidentally hit the "channel switch" button on the remote.
When I looked up, lo and behold, there was this navy destroyer, and this big shark came up and bit the whole dang destroyer in half. Half dazed (so what's new) I watched as the giant shark took a bite our of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Like, where was Agent Gibbs, and the black-haired Goth chick from the lab? Meanwhile, across the ocean, the Japanese were having fits with this Giant Octopus that weapons could not touch.
So it took me a few minutes to make the adjustment and figure out I was on the wrong channel. But this was such dreck I could not stop watching. I figure Tony and Ziva made it out of the cargo container.
Here's a trailer. Watch it. Pray that Nancy Pelosi was on the bridge.

[Enter RIMMER, WARDEN KNOT]
[Leading the Warden, RIMMER now wears KNOT’s grey jacket over his Canary bib and a hopeful, nervous smile on his face]
CASSANDRA Hello Arnold, bang on time.
RIMMER I’ve brought you a visitor, Cassandra. Do you know his name?
CASSANDRA Yes, I do. Not –
[Shock registers on RIMMER’s face]
RIMMER What?
CASSANDRA Not –
RIMMER ‘Knot’??
CASSANDRA Let me finish! Not that it matters what his name is, I mean, our relationship doesn’t last very long.
[RIMMER calms himself, visibly trying to relax]
KNOT I understand you have the ability to predict –
CASSANDRA - the future, yes, I do.
KNOT A hundred percent reli –
CASSANDRA - able, yes.
KNOT What happens to me; do I get back to Earth?
CASSANDRA No, you die in about four seconds’ time of a heart attack after hearing the news that you’re going to die of a heart attack.
KNOT You filthy ly — Ack!
[KNOT clutches a hand to his chest and stares at RIMMER and shock. RIMMER watches nonchalantly as KNOT sinks to the floor and sprawls on his back. CASSANDRA peers down at him sympathetically]
CASSANDRA Poor Rimmer.
RIMMER Yes, poor old ‘Rimmer’.
[KNOT raises a hand weakly]
KNOT My name is not –
[Quick to obfuscate the man’s inconvenient last words, RIMMER leans down as if to listen intently]
RIMMER Your name is not *what*?
KNOT Knot! Not... Knot..!
[The man’s lead lolls back slackly. RIMMER looks to CASSANDRA impatiently]
RIMMER Is he dead now?
CASSANDRA I’m afraid so.
RIMMER Yes!
[Enormously pleased, RIMMER holds up both fists triumphantly]
CASSANDRA He died of a massive coronary, just as I prophesied. RIMMER Yes!
[RIMMER punches the air again]
CASSANDRA You seem inordinately happy, Arnold, but why? You’re going to die too.
[Once again RIMMER’s smile is mercilessly killed]
OMG! I’m sorry. The trailer is so good, I bet people watch it more than once.
