The Meg (2018) is a whole lot of fin and a whole lot of fun. #SharkWeak2 #Review
As a long-time reader of Steve Alten’s pulpy aquatic horror novels and a fan of shark movies – bad and good – I’ve long been hoping for a movie adaptation. Unfortunately, “The Meg” always seemed to find itself trapped in development hell, much like the eponymous monster is trapped beneath the thermal barrier at the ‘bottom’ of the Mariana Trench. But, in both cases, that’s no longer the truth – The Meg is loose, released by Warner Bros to terrorise the denizens of Mana One, a state-of-the-art oceanic research station...

The tagline, I believe, for this read something like "Big meets Bigger"

It could just as easily have read "Dumb meets Dumber"

Actually, now that I think about it: that's probably unfair: there's nothing dumb about knowing your audience!

(Loosely) based on the old 1980s arcade game of the same name, this sees Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson playing primatologist Davis Okoye, who - for plot reasons - gets caught up in what (essentially) amounts to a Monster showdown in downtown Chicago, with the monsters scaling tall building and destroying half the city in the process while the military vainly tries to stop them.

You know, just like the coin-up?

Basically, this a B-movie writ large, and knows it!

"True, other Elsa Lanchester albums have her husband Charles Laughton introducing each track, but only this one has both "When a Lady Has a Piazza" and "If You Peek in My Gazebo." Lanchester, most famous for playing the Bride of Frankenstein (technically, the bride of Frankenstein's monster) and Laughton's wife in Witness For The Prosecution, has an actor's voice, with perfect stage-Cockney enunci-OY-tion, which is perfect for this material. "Please sell no more drink to my father. It makes him so strange and so wild. Heed the prayer of my heart-broken mother, and pity the poor drunkard's child." She sings this with such relish, it's easy to see whose side she's really on. "
