Directed Scott P. Levy. Written by Alex Simon, Richard Robinson and John Sayles. Starring William Katt, Alexandra Paul, Mila Kunis, Leland Orser, Soleil Moon Frye, Monte Markham and James Karen.
Plot: a government tank housing genetically engineered piranhas is emptied into a river that flows right past a resort.
This remake opens with a boob shot and gets better from there as P.I. McNamara (Paul) goes looking for a missing girl after being hired by J.R. Randolph (Markham), the girl’s uncle. Paul (Katt) joins her on the search because he knows the area so well. They find out that there’s genetically engineered piranha and that they are headed for a resort that Randolph just so happens to own. He doesn’t believe them, of course, and has them detained. Can they escape in time to save the town? Dun-dun-dun!!!
It is unintentionally funny and for some reason the piranha sound like eagles most of the time, but it’s a good safe bet to watch on movie night. It’s just that fun. There’s also bad Freddy Claws, but the beginning and the ending are surprisingly good. And little Mila is just so gosh darn cute. We recommend if you can get your hands on it.
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.
