Film 275/365, Day 305/365 – Dinoshark

What a steaming pile of poo!  Just because anyone can make special effects doesn’t mean they should.  Whoever came up with the design for a shark with a dinosaur head was clearly messed up at the time.  The story is one dimensional and the actor poor.  My personal favourite moment in the film was the end when I didn’t have to watch it anymore.  As bad as Sharktopus!

Synopsis:  A prehistoric shark thaws from an iceberg and goes on killing rampage of the coast of Mexico.

Film 97/365, Day 106/365 – Skyline

Could and should have been much better.  I was very excited when I saw the trailer for Skyline back in November last year, needless to say I am quite disappointed.  It had all of the special effects and overwhelming grandeur of something that should have been much better.  Unfortunately, it would appear, when the world ends idiots and arseholes will be the last to go.  Not the worst film I’ve seen but should have been much better.

Synopsis: A number of strange blue lights fall out of the sky in Los Angeles.  People are inexplicably drawn to the lights almost like moths to a flame.  It is only then that it is too late and they are pulled into the sky and into an alien space ship.  Skyline follows a group of people trying to stay alive.
