[Hurricane Sandy is currently causing all kinds of hell for all kinds of people. Here in Scranton, PA we’ve still got power and Internet (at least for now). We’re going to watch movies until either Sandy puts a stop to it or we can actually leave the house.]
As a belated birthday treat for my son my lovely bride and I took him and a van load of his dumbass friends to see the latest RiffTrax Live event from the fine folks at RiffTrax (presented by Fathom Events). The movie this time out was the modern crapterpiece “Birdemic” [my less than charitable review].
Birdemic was made for this. Not only did Mike, Bill and Kevin make suffering through the movie enjoyable they quite literally turned the experience into the funniest experience I’ve had with a movie… well, since the last “RiffTrax Live”.
The experience is not unlike inviting a bunch of friends over to watch bad movies. The difference here is that the screen is 40′ tall, you have 300 friends and you don’t know any of their names. It’s some of the purest, simplest fun you’ll ever have in a theater, hands down.

Bad movie! No! Not on the new rug!
(This movie just shit all over my new rug.)
The script – which announces proudly that it’s based on true events (it’s not) – really likes to repeat itself. I think the screenwriter thought it sounded smart (it doesn’t) and that the actors could pull off sounding smart (they can’t… oh dear Lord in heaven they can’t).

The first Piranha movie was actually pretty good, this one not so much. The first one had some decent actors, some fun cameos and a lot of classic monster movie mojo. It was fun, sexy and well worth wasting 90 minutes of time if you had nothing better to do.

[Wife and kids are away on their last weekend jaunt before school starts so while I catch up on some mind-numbingly tedious work I’m distracting myself with bad movies. This is the fifth.]

My son made us watch this. Apparently some guy on YouTube did a review and he just had to see it. It was on NetFlix which fooled us into thinking it was actually a movie. So we watched it.
