Never Underestimate a Dinoshark

It's spring break, and I'm back home to good ol' Brattleboro, Vermont. Yesterday, I got to spend most of the day with my buddy Marty Cain who I haven't seen in months, and then I headed over to my friend Shannon's house, as it was her birthday and such an event merits a doozy of a celebration. So we ate a lot of food, as is often a popular way to commemorate the anniversary of anything whatsoever.

I must say, the gift I made her is without a doubt my proudest creation of all time. I bought a game of Guess Who?, and replaced all of the faces with pictures of our friends and various things we laugh about. It came out pretty kick ass, if I do say so myself (it's better in person).

After a few rousing rounds of Guess Who? Shannon Ward Edition, we decided that naturally, the best thing to do would be to watch a B-Movie entitled Dinoshark. This, my curious readers, is Dinoshark:

Reviewing this film may be difficult for me, simply because my immense passion for it will likely blind me (both figuratively and literally) and make it difficult to write a review void of bias. So instead I will just highlight a few of the most noteworthy moments:

-The Dinoshark leapt into the sky and took down a CGI helicopter. Unfortunately, the actors didn't seem as impressed as we were. Or shocked. Which seemed odd seeing as their characters just witnessed Dinoshark tackle a giant airborne machine into the ocean, but hey, that could have been a conscious character choice... Sure...

-The lead female character was on her computer, researching what in the hell this giant dinosaur/shark creature could possibly be. When she discovered through this research that it was in fact a Dinoshark, she stared horrified at the screen and then ripped off her shirt. With absolutely no explanation.

-Dinoshark always goes for the jugular.

-Despite the fact that Dinoshark had been killing many, many people, and the authorities knew about this, there seemed to be no shark warning whatsoever. Meaning games of water polo played by thirteen year old girls went on as scheduled. THAT went well...

And a bonus tidbit:

-After Dinoshark ended, a film entitled Dinocroc began. However, the two films somehow seemed to have absolutely nothing in common whatsoever save the name and the fact that they were played one after another on SyFy (that is really not how sci-fi is supposed to be spelled, by the way...). While Dinocroc had much better production values, we found it more difficult to follow. However, that quite possibly could have been due to the gelatinous state of our minds after sitting through Dinoshark.

All in all, I oh so highly recommend Dinoshark to everyone. EVERYONE. RIGHT NOW.

Love,
