Mega Piranha

Tiffany, Paul Logan (2010) Mutated Amazonian fish eat their way toward Florida.

Syfy Saturday movie from 4/10.

I do believe that this is one of those The Asylum productions. Which means that I've got about an hour and forty minutes of pure awesomeness in my future.

So, a dude, and his love interest are swimming in a river. The woman starts screaming and flailing. Instead of trying to figure out what's going on, the guy just starts swimming as fast as he can in the other direction. Which, in this case is a good idea. Because his woman just got et by piranhas. Not sure if they're mega yet, but perhaps that'll be explained shortly. Anyways, that's quite the

And in true Asylum fashion, we've just seen an alligator. Or, more accurately, and more true to The Asylum, we've just seen a very poorly CGed alligator. Followed shortly by a lot of poorly CGed fish. Followed shortly by a poorly CGed boat sinking.

And sadly, it seems that I'm not going to enjoy reviewing this one as much as my previous movie. Mainly because all of the characters seem to be terrifically annoying.

Although, that was quite possibly the most absurd scene I've ever seen. Random Annoying Main Character Guy (Who's Annoying) laying on his back kicking poorly CGed fish as they leap at him. Or more accurately, just sort of flailing around.

Also, the Wikipedia article for this movie is pretty awesome. Completely and utterly impartial plot summary. Yup. Totally. Notable quote: "Special Agent Fitch resorts to using the diplomacy of his fists"

Oh no! They can live in the ocean!

And they keep mixing up random shots of different random navy ships.

And now the piranhas are randomly jumping out of the water and lodging themselves in hotels and on the beach...

Not your best review ever. You actually stopped writing in the middle of one sentence and left us waiting for you conclusion about the inaity (ineity? I have no idea if this is even a word honestly, I'm just going to go with it) of the movie.
