Movie Review: Zombie Tidal Wave (2019)

Image
Synopsis: An earthquake releases a hoard of zombies from a sunken ship and a tsunami washes them on shore, creating terror in a tiny island village. Who's in it? The movie stars Ian Ziering , Cheree Cassidy , Shelton Jolivette , Tatum Chiniquy and Angie Teodora Dick . Review: I was looking for another movie last night when I scrolled past this one. Based on the title, I wasn't really expecting much from it but ended up giving it a try anyway. As it turns out, it wasn't too terrible. There were a couple things about this movie I found I really liked. One of the main ones was the fact the protagonists were on an island, making it much harder for them to escape as the zombies invaded their community. Just as important, the fact they couldn't reach anyone for help (and nobody showed up after the tsunami) made it unclear whether or not the zombies were an isolated thing or if the whole world was dealing with them. Another thing I liked about this movie was how difficult k...

Movie Review: Sharknado 4 and Sharknado 5 (2016 and 2017)

Image
Synopsis: Five years after the last Sharknado attacks, the world has remained Sharknado free. However, that peace is broken when new Sharknadoes form and once again threaten to destroy the world. Who's in it? The movies star Ian Ziering , Tara Reid , Cody Linley , David Hasselhoff and Masiela Lusha. Review: I decided to review these two movies together, both because my wife and I watched them back-to-back this weekend and because, once you reach the fourth and fifth installment of a movie series like this one, there's honestly not a whole lot of difference between the films. I ended up watching these movies this weekend mostly out of curiosity. After seeing Fin's (Ziering) wife April (Reid) crushed at the end of the third movie, I had to see just how they would manage to bring her character back. And, let's face it, there really wasn't much on TV this weekend anyway. While I did love the original film and even kind of liked the sequel, after watching ...

Movie Review: Sharknado (2013)

Image
Synopsis : As a powerful storm, brought on by global warming, strikes the coast of California and Los Angeles, a retired professional surfer (with help from his friends) attempts to rescue his ex-wife and children both from flooding and from dozens of hungry sharks that are being scooped up from the ocean and dropped on land. Who's in it? The movie stars Ian Ziering , Tara Reid , John Heard , Cassandra Scerbo and J ason Simmons. Review: This is a movie that I've been on the fence about watching for the past four years, mostly because I'm not a big fan of horror/comedies, especially those that would be considered low budget. In fact, the only reason I decided to finally watch it last night was I had heard there is yet another sequel (the 5th movie total) coming out and I found myself a bit curious about what I was missing. As it turns out, after watching this movie last night, I can honestly say there wasn't anything about this movie that surprised me. Ho...
