Dinoshark

Eric Balfour, Aaron Diaz (2010) Melting glaciers unfreeze a prehistoric creature.

Syfy Saturday movie from 3/13.

One can only hope that since the description of the movie did not talk about the creature going on a murderous rampage, that it just makes friends with everyone, and they have a grand old time going to the movies and a carnival. That would really throw everyone for a loop.

Also, its only slightly warmer here now, than it is off the coast of Alaska in this movie.

Apparently it wasn't to be. The dinoshark thing just ate the first person it came across. Perhaps it just didn't know how to talk to him. Maybe once it grows up a bit and moves to Mexico, where the next scene takes place.

And it seems that people who made this movie were only able to rent one boat. Because the main character (Eric Balfour) seems to be the skipper of the exact same model, color, and size boat that the original guy was on in Alaska.

Also, isn't half the point of surfing to get yourself out to the waves? It just seems sort of cheating if someone delivers you to the wave on a jetski, and puts you right in position to ride the wave. But then again, it seems that one of those surfer guys just got eatified by a dinoshark. Serves him right. For cheating.

That was quite possibly the strangest scene ever. Female character doing a lot of browsing on the internet, looking for the dinoshark. Dramatic music plays. A bit more clicking around on the internet. She finds something. And takes her top off. And then walks off screen, and the scene ends. And then the female character proceeds to spend the rest of the movie just wearing a bathing suit.

And, frankly, there is nothing more that needs to be said about this movie. Although no sooner had I typed that, than this happened.



Yes, that is a man jumping off a jet ski about to throw a hand grenade at a dinoshark. Possibly the best part of the movie.

speed built up on a jet ski will allow the hand grenade in a more optimal flight trajectory conducive for a kill pattern specific to dino sharks

I'm gonna go ahead and wave the bullshit flag at Trevor.

Maybe they had a tiny budget.

Maybe she as warm and needed to take her shirt off.

Maybe that is the funniest picture I've ever seen.
