DINOSHARK


Legendary movie maverick Roger Corman seems to be doing a lot of “presenting” of films these days – mostly on the SYFY channel and usually movies about hungry, mutant sea monsters. This must mean that Mr. Corman’s series of bad martial arts films, under the aegis of “New World Cinema”, reached their peak and have fizzled out. Darn, now Don “The Dragon” Wilson has to stand in an unemployment line somewhere because there are no more shitty kung fu movies in which he can star.

DINOSHARK has only blood, human buffets (both in and out of the water) and decent computer-generated graphics going for it. It is so similar to SHARKTOPUS in spirit and in concept that the creatures from both films could hold hands, er fins, and sing “Kum-Bah-Yah”.

I fail to see the “appeal” of Eric Balfour as a leading man. Poor guy looks like he needs a bath all the time.

Wonder what will be next in the Corman/SYFY pantheon? I know! Make the creature a combination of several different life forms. Even got a title for the movie: WHATTHEPHUCK. Take it and run with it, SYFY Channel!
