TERMINATOR SALVATION, THE LAST SHARK, and more at Wtf-Film

Wtf-Film's reviews from the past week are:

TERMINATOR SALVATION [2009] McG
". . . gets the mix between stupid scripting and explosive action pretty much right, and even the multitude of plot holes and a poorly devised heartstrings-pulling ending weren't enough to keep me from being entertained."

THE LAST SHARK [1981] Enzo G. Castellari
"The story is par for the course for a JAWS cash-in - a sea-side town on the East coast of the United States is preparing for a big tourist-attracting event [here a windsurfing race] when it is invaded by a great white shark. Political guys keep the mounting shark attacks hush-hush and let the big tourist-attracting event go as planned, with disastrous results, and are forced to hire professionals to hunt and kill the offending fish."

VIRUS [1980] Kinji Fukasaku
"After the unwitting release of the top secret US bio-weapon MM-88, a genetically engineered monster that destroys the immune system of its victims and causes them to succumb to every disease imaginable, fewer than a thousand people are left alive."

Kindest regards,

That's a really good review of Virus.  Wish I'd known about the disparity in run-times on this as I did actually have that Sony Chiba set in my hands, once, but wasn't sure if it was worth getting.  Too late now. 

Ah well.
