Sharknado 2 a go!

Sharknado New York

Sharknado 2 set in New York City got announced last night on Jimmy Fallon. That’s all we know about the sequel so far, but it will have to be pretty crazy to compete with the original. I have faith there will be at least some nutty scenes, and hopefully less ADR. No title has been announced, but that hasn’t stopped twitter from coming up with several thousand potential ones!

RiffTrax brings the serial with Batman Takes Over!

RiffTrax jumps into the serial aisle with their latest release, Batman Takes Over, the first part of the Batman and Robin serial. It’s not the racist Batman serial, but the one that came after that. Batman and Robin is just cheaply made! Batman battles that famed Batman villain, The Wizard!

You remember him, right? Sure, we all do!

You can grab it now, and get ahead of the game. Because once the whole serial has been release, you will need to impress people with your knowledge. Just lay into them with your Batman and Robin superiority. They won’t know what hit them, and you will get bags of cash. Or arrested. You make the call!

We’re excited to present Batman Takes Over, the first installment in one of the earliest screen depictions of Batman ever made, the 1949 serial Batman and Robin! This is where we’d joke that we finally found a version of Batman and Robin worse than the Joel Schumacher Batman & Robin, but that is physically impossible according to Newton’s Law of Schumacherian Bat-Nipplage.

In this thrilling opening episode, Batman Takes Over…an hour to arrive at the crime scene, because he drives an ordinary car instead of a Batmobile. And, standing in for stately Wayne Manor, a slightly-less-stately suburban home. Batman and thirty-something boy wonder Robin are hot on the trail of The Wizard, so named for his lack of magic powers or costume resembling a wizard’s in any way. Speaking of costumes, Batman & Robin store theirs in a drawer in a FILING CABINET. And, and, and…well there’s too much great Bat-wrongness to tell here, you really just need to see this.

So squeeze into an ill-fitting costume, buckle your utility belt (ordinary belt), and join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Batman Takes Over!

A full list of chapters, hopefully we get the whole shebang!

All You Need Is Kill gets dumb new title and cool new poster

All You Need Is Kill has been renamed The Edge of Tomorrow, because we can’t have cool things. Despite sounding like a Lady GaGa song or a Star Trek title, it’s in fact a reference to the sort of Groundhogs Day plot of All You Need Is Kill, as Tom Cruise’s character relives the same day over and over again. Of course, there are better names, like The Edge of Kill, The Kill of Tomorrow, The Kill of Kill, Die, Danger, Die, Die, Kill, Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Egg Sausage and Kill, and Groundhogs Kill.

But at least we get this cool poster!

Invasion Roswell and Ghost Shark and swimming to SyFy Thursdays!

SyFy still has a batch of original movies coming on Thursdays. August 8th brings us the mysterious film Invasion Roswell. We were alerted to Invasion Roswell thanks to an image on twitter of a screener dvd.
Writer Jackson Stewart has said the film is about a pregnant alien dinosaur. No other information is forthcoming because it doesn’t have an imdb page, and I can’t find any information due to the huge huge huge amount of Roswell conspiracy theory sites clogging up Google. But I did learn about Reptillians. Did you know that Reptillians take drugs made from human brain chemicals? This is 100% true, ask your local Reptillian.

August 22 gives us the exciting Ghost Shark, one of our 69 Must See Flicks from The American Film Market. One reason: Griff Furst directs. His SyFy flicks are always a blast. Also, Richard Moll has a role! Huzzah for Night Court!

Synopsis:

Last Fourth of July, teenager Christy Bruce disappeared from a high school beach party. Her severed arm washed ashore a day later. Drunken sea captain Blaise Shaw became a hero to the small seaside community of Harmony after killing the great white shark that was deemed responsible, but the Christy Bruce murder was no shark attack. Blaise turns to ghost hunter Ava Conte, who is skeptical but intrigued by his ghost shark ramblings. With preparations for a massive July 4th celebration rapidly approaching, they soon find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy of sex and murder involving the town’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens. Unprepared to contend with a Ghost Shark that can hunt on land, sea, as well as anywhere there is enough water or rain to sustain its phantom form, Blaise and Ava must uncover the truth about the towns dark past or fall victim to the Ghost Shark.
