Piranha 3D (2010)
This film should have never happened
Piranha 3D is an insanely poor remake of a camp classic. Poor Kevin McCarthy is probably flipping over in his grave. This version was only made with one thing in mind,BOOBS. The original storyline is completely lost for the sake of gratuitous nudity. I was an extra during the San Marcos, Tx location filming of the the original. We did not have to rely on nudity during any of the shoot. This new version doesn't even remain true to the original plot line. The 3D aspect of this film also fails miserably. Until the technology improves it will be best left to theater screens, as opposed to home DVD. The cast, crew, and writers should be ashamed of themselves for even making this lousy film. Don't waste your money. Buy or rent the original instead.
Lost Angels (1989)
A very poor film
This has to rate as a Hugh Hudson "turkey". As one of the electricians who worked on the San Antonio location shooting, this film lacked the same "Chariots of Fire" quality one would expect from Hudson. The script (directed by Tom Baer of Ninth Street Pictures) lacked in continuity and concept. The cast was for the most part seasoned veterans from film and television. Donald Sutherland played the Psych part (filmed at the San Antonio State Hospital) with the same characteristic deadpan wit shown most evident in M.A.S.H. Kevin Tighe's character was an extreme departure from his days on "Emergency". Amy Locane showed definite promise as a film newcomer, where Adam Horovitz should have stuck to music. Don't waste your money.
