After years of doing B-movies under the guise of ostensibly being actual, decent films, Nicolas Cage is ready to at last embrace his love of doing terrible shit with a 1960s-style Roger Corman film.
Roger Corman--or another, less notable low budget filmmaker who equally considers SyFy Channel airings to be a legitimate means of film distribution--never lets us down with inventing a new match-up of unconvincing CGI abominations at least once a season. We still have a little time before Corman defines for us exactly what a "piranhaconda" is (I have a pretty good suspicion what a piranhaconda is), but in the meantime, here's the trailer for Dinocroc Vs. Supergator. The film already made its unceremonious debut on SyFy, but for those of you who missed that, it will thankfully be on DVD shelves in July. This one is special because it features both an incredibly shoddy recreation of a Jurassic Park scene and a farewell performance by the late David Carradine, whose appearance here is perhaps a more regretfully shameful sight than even the posthumous photos of his messy closet.
Piranhaconda! Perhaps the most deadly foe, and definitely the most clever portmanteau, to date. I can't wait to watch Michael Madsen and Rachel Hunter fight him (because they have decided they're doing that). But wasn't this guy in Monster Squad?

The shark/octopus fusion of Sharktopus not do it for you? Then how about a shark with a T-Rex head, Johnny Picky? It's Dinoshark!
SyFy (yup) is producing the TV movie with Roger Corman (yup), who explained how beautiful the introduction to this beast will be:
"Global warming causes the glaciers to break apart," Corman explains. "We start the picture with real beautiful shots of the glaciers falling into the ocean. The unborn egg of the Dinoshark that has been frozen for millions of years is released."
God, both beautiful and scientifically sound; the perfect prelude to a dinosaur shark's arrival. But fans of Corman's previous dino[animal] efforts may be left questioning why we're moving on to a Dinoshark when Dinocroc left us with so many unresolved issues. The answer:
"Dinoshark," which debuts March 13, is a follow-up of sorts to Corman's "Dinocroc." Corman originally thought to do "Dinocroc 2," but Syfy executives discovered that, unlike theatrical audiences, TV movie audiences respond better to new-but-similar ideas more than direct sequels.
Ah, that's true. Like a nice wine, we should swish Dinocroc around a bit before taking another sip.
I wonder, though, Roger Corman, how would you compare the believability of Dinoshark to the believability of Sharktopus?
