Lake Placid

The only reason I'm reviewing Lake Placid is so that I can say it's a croc film: it's a croc of shit! Hahahahahaha. The joke is poor but not as poor as Lake Placid, an amazingly feeble film.

An incredibly lacklustre bunch of jobbing actors go out for an adventure on a lake that is not called Placid. So why the poor title? The film takes incredible contrivances to allow its self the privilege of a lousy title. Who made this steaming pile of manure? Some American TV exec I expect.

They tried to spice things up by having one of the "Golden Girls" sitcom hags swear outrageously. Gosh! How daring! How I wished the croc would eat the cast. And the bloody thing couldn't even be bothered to do that. What is the matter with film makers? If I go to a shark movie I want to see cool CGI and I definitely want to see the sharks eat the cast. Deep Blue Sea was enjoyable in an offhand way because the sharks did their duty, they dined on the cast. They scoffed even the famous members of the cast! That's what a monster movie is all about!

In Lake Placid the croc gets to eat some wildlife and then a cow. (a real cow, not the old bat from Golden Girls). And even the CGI was done on the cheap. Great.


Jim's preferred ending: Anything but the pathetic ending we are served up in such a lacklustre fashion.
