SYNSOPSIS: When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, nature’s deadliest killer rules sea, land, and air as thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace.

     A decade ago something bizarre swam into  TV sets. Sharknado, a true B rated creature feature, instantly became a pop culture phenomenon that spawned a franchise with six entries. 

     A 4K restoration, for the tenth anniversary, was blown into theaters for a special screening to honor this milestone.  Guess who was front and center at that screening?  The author of this blog of course.

     Let me tell you what a blast I had finally getting to see this one on the big screen.  After the lights went down and the trailer real ended my excitement rose as the film started. I was completely engulfed on the hokey plot line complimented by truly bad and over acting.  This time around I even enjoyed noticing all the ways this movie ripped off Jaws (1975) with quotes like “We’re gonna need a bigger chopper”.  I loved seeing John Heard of Home Alone fame shine as the town drunk.  It is safe to say I enjoyed myself.

     I do wish more people attended the screening for two reasons.  First it encourages theaters to program more of this kind of programming, anniversary screenings and such. Second and a bit more important I enjoy socializing especially at the movies.  Still sitting by myself and one of the eight or so scattered around the 200 seat auditorium I had fun.

      Until next time I will see you at the movies!
