This is from a liberal weekly free paper (No one would pay for it)in Albuquerque NM

We used to have those shark problems in NM but we got rid of our water a million years ago or so

(including Coolio--thereby fulfilling the need for every modern horror film to have at least one rap star)

I thought that I was the only person who noticed that.

What?! No hurricane coming through the bayous? Sounds like ya gotta have a hurricane to make this movie work.

Speaking of "Red" in film titles, I'm partial to Red October and also Red Dawn (just because I know the countryside). Red Dawn was panned, but it shows what happens when you have gun registration and the controlling authority (legal or otherwise) decides to confiscate the weapons to keep the citizens under control.

BTW, is it still the "Weekly Alibi"?

[livius]

LOL! I had already eliminated it just on the basis of seeing the previews, but now that I realize that it had a "message" (hate the President, hate the President), I guess I can re-eliminate it!

Actually, the movie is kind of fun in a campy sort of way.

Some of the 'cajun accents are OK and there are a couple of perogues in a couple of swamp scenes. But there never was a single bateau. The water was a lot clearer than ever seen in the Atachaflava Spillway, and much deeper, too. So never mind about a supposed beach on Lake Verret, where there are none. Or a big shark swimming in water that really is not deep enough to keep his back covered.

Now, they could have made a movie about a big alligator in them swamps, with pretty much the same script....LOL.

This was the most boring shark movie I have ever attempted to watch. By the end, I was hoping the shark would eat every single person in the movie and all those responsible for making it.

I spent most of the movie switching to the Stephen King show on ABC, and I dislike ABC.

There were quite a few B-horror/monster flicks on this weekend. I guess I was too spoiled to enjoy the grade F variety.

[The UnVeiled Lady]

I was looking forward to this movie, it wasn't too bad (I was expecting campy)


BUT THEN.... at the end of the movie the crazy wacko liberal writers went CRAZY. Don't read further if you don't want to know the end...

all thru the movie, he was about to lose his boat because he couldn't keep up the payments...the shark had a bounty of 100,000 and they decided to not tell anyone and let the $$$ just go. What kind of STUPID liberal would write this?????

[King Prout]

oh, so THAT's what that crap I stumbled over was.

[Bullish]

Lou Diamond Phillips?

That nobody still has a career?

[JURB]

This is a common Hollywood horror cliché, which was especially prevalent during the 70s when liberal Hollywood was preoccupied by Paul Ehrlich-inspired doom and gloom. Of course not only was Ehrlich and his "population bomb" proven to be profoundly wrong, but all of those ham-handed 1970s environmental horror movies (where mans proliferation and intrusion into the environment caused natural wildlife to go whacko) were incredibly bad.

The wildlife going crazy meme was much more effective when their was no identifiable cause. Hitchcock's "The Birds" and Spielburg's "Jaws" are perfect examples.

Saw some of this cheesy offering last night. Eminently forgettable except for Ms. Swanson.

[RightWingAtheist]

I can't wait for the Jabootu folks to get a hold of this one.
