Directed by Ellory Elkayem. Written by Elkayem, Randy Kornfield and Jesse Alexander. Starring David Arquette, Scarlett Johansson, Kari Wuhrer, Doug E. Doug, Matt Czuchry, Rick Overton, Leon Rippy, Eileen Ryan and Scott Terra.
Plot: venomous spiders are exposed to a chemical that causes them to grow monumentally.
Chris (Arquette) comes to town and refuses to sell his property to some big wigs. And then the giant spiders show up. Chris also has a history with the Sheriff (Wuhrer), who is now divorced and has no control over her children (Johansson and Terra).
This movie is a lot better than people think if you just go in accepting that it is what it is. It’s hilarious, especially the Deputy played by Overton. The specials are pretty fierce for a giant spider movie. The science is impressive as well. It has a good soundtrack, likable characters, a good script and a great cast. It was a fun watch and it ends well. The only really bad thing is that a lot of animals die, but you don’t see much at all.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
