Shark Attack in the Mediterranean (2004)

Ever since Jaws first left me with the sure knowledge that we are, in fact, going to need a bigger boat, I've loved shark attack movies (and books). Despite the fact that I know going in that most Jaws ripoffs are huge steaming piles, I still watch them. Occasionally, I am pleasantly surprised, as was the case with Samuel L. Jackson's motivation speech cut short by a surprisingly early death in Deep Blue Sea, but more often I am left with something that would find it difficult to compare favorably to Jaws: The Revenge.

Shark Attack in the Mediterranean, unfortunately, fell into the latter category.

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009)

Once in a while, a movie comes along for which I am the target audience. Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus was just such a movie. It was obvious to me from the title alone that the fine people at The Asylum sat down one day and asked themselves the all important question: what would corwin like to sit down and watch? They clearly know my long-standing love of giant shark movies, and the way I'll run head-long into a "versus" movie. And, in a stroke of marketing genius, they took a like from Snakes on a Plane and gave it a title from which anyone can immediately tell if they want to see it. And from the moment I heard of Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus, I wanted to see it!
