More cheesy dino flicks

If you like bad b-movies featuring clunky cgi dinosaurs it has been a good summer so far. First there was gratuitous silliness of Aztec Rex;



Close on it's tail, though, is 100 Million B.C. (not to be confused with the recent big-screen cheese fest 10,000 B.C. or the classic One Million Years B.C.). The film looks like someone dropped a couple of seasons of Stargate, a copy of The Lost World, a few issues of The War That Time Forgot, and Michael Gross in a blender and hit "Gooify";

During the 1990's I can scarcely remember a time when one television station or another wasn't playing at least one of the four JAWS movies, TBS, TNT, or WPIX often devoting an entire day to films about killer oceanic creatures.

Against my better judgment, I went out to catch a matinée showing of 10,000 BC yesterday, and the only good thing that came of the outing was that I found a $20 bill in the parking lot. The movie is one of the stinkiest pieces of movie cheese I've encountered. At least Dragon Wars was so bad it…

Come on - Michael Gross and Christopher Atkins! Is this where has-beens (or maybe never-weres) go to live out their final days?

Too bad I'm at work (and using firefox) and can't see anything but the words. I like cheesy movies.

Awwww, Michael Gross can take care of himself against any ol' kind of monster. See Tremors

"100 Million BC" reminds me of what a "Dinosaurs Attack" movie might be like (remember those trading cards and comics from the 80s?). The cheese factor is definitely there, with CGI dinosaurs to boot. And Micheal Gross? I'm checking this movie out.
I'll pass on Aztec Rex though.
