Film 308/365, Day 330/365 – Nacho Libre

Stupid, really really stupid but in a good way!  Jack Black is quite unbelievable as a Mexican but it all adds to the hilarity of it.  The best parts are of course the wrestling matches and the training which culminates in a battle royale for a large sum of money where the winner takes all.  Ridiculous, but that’s what I like about it.

Synopsis:  A monk who works as a cook at an orphanage has dreams of one day becoming a wrestler.  Then when Sister Encarnación arrives at the orphanage he has a new dream, to woo her.  His best hope of doing that is to show how well he can care for the orphans, but he’s on a very tight budget.  Eventually he enters a wrestling competition to win some more money for the orphans.

Film 141/365, Day 152/365 – Sharktopus

Complete and utter shite.  The acting is bad, the direction is bad, the CGI is bad, the script is bad but the most shocking thing about Sharktopus is that someone actually put up the money to make it.  Almost the worst film I’ve ever seen!

Synopsis:  The military in it’s infinite wisdom creates a Shark-Octopus hybrid which it soon loses control of and it goes on it’s inevitable killing spree.
