Bai wan ju e (2012)
Fun "B" Movie that doesn't disappoint
Crockzilla was a bit of a surprise. Even though the English dubbing and storyline are a little weak, this is a fun film that actually employs some cinematic skill.
The cgi and live croc shots and scenery et al are actually pretty good. The scenes which depict the giant croc eating things are very well done, with believable cgi animation apparently done by someone with some talent. Some scenes you have to really look to tell if you're seeing cgi or live animals. So kudos there!
Other than the cheesy acting by the few actors in this film, such as the cross eyed tea garden worker (who oddly is the only person in the entire tea garden who is seen working in the field) and the incompetent sushi squad, this film should rate more than just a couple stars.
Compared to other awful "B" flicks like "Sharknado," this film deserves an academy award!
The Rise of the Southern Biscuit (2006)
Luscious...
I was lucky enough to catch this documentary a few months ago. Very interesting! I had no idea there were so many different types of biscuits and history behind each type.
One cool aspect of this documentary is the behind the scenes of how biscuits are made, from hundreds of folds to almost no kneading at all, with each style producing a very different and specific biscuit with it's own style, flavor and culture surrounding preparation and presentation.
This film will make you want to become a southerner just for the food! Highly recommended for people who love southern history and for southern foodies.
Sharknado (2013)
Cheesy without the goods.
I'm a big "B" movie buff, but this film get's an "F" in my opinion. It was poorly edited, the continuity was pathetic, it was difficult to understand what the actors were saying due to poor sound editing.
Whoever was in charge of getting stock footage of storms should be fired. No thought to what actual storm damage would look like. Awful graphics, worse animation, poor acting.
And then there's the lack of any coherent storyline, plot, ebb and flow of tension, well, flow anyhow. The entire film was an ebb. The best part of this film were the commercials.
A new low for SyFy and the writers, producers, directors and everyone else associated with this "film." An hour plus of my life I'll never get back.
