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. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
