I cant belive I watched it all...Mega shark vs. Giant octopus on SyFy sat. I think this one is up there with Plan 9. In one scene a huge shark leaps from the ocean and bites a 747 flying at 20,000 feet. He then drags it to its doom under water. A guy on the plane squeels "BIG FISH"! Ive noticed SyFy is using a lot of cheezy C.G. in its lame"O" movies. Its bad,extremly bad. I'm glad my friend is paying for this crappy tv and not me anymore.

Wow. "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus"? That's one that I'd expect to see prefaced by "MST3K Presents" just based on the title alone...

Wow! I have to see this one before it goes away. It sounds like a classic in the making

SyFy is a constant source of made-for-cable sci-schlock. Amazing that the network that brings you BSG also runs this stuff...and if you enjoyed it, look for Yeti, or Frankenfish, or Dog Soldiers, or Blood Monkey, or Shark Swarm...you'll thank yourself. Really.

Gonk, you could be on to something...a whole new MST3K series could run on SyFy originals alone.

I just watched GI Joe ( I know, what could I expect ) Effects, and graphics were great, screen play was embaracingly bad.
Inglorous Bastards was just about as bad and unfortunately I bought that one instead of using Netflix.
On the other hand, Star Trek was great and both the new X-men and Transformers movies were beter than I expected.
Great Debaters was pretty good.
This thread needs some participation.

I agree KOYAAN it does need some participation. After all arent movies and music the reason for spending all of this money on this great gear. I just purchased "District 9" and the visuals where awesome and the acting was not bad for having no name actors in it. Very Entertaining. Worth Watching.

I've watched several discs in recent weeks, including GI Joe. That was pretty cheesy. I was also a bit disappointed in 9. Not really terrible, but not particularly good either. District 9, on the other hand, was a neat science fiction flick with some fun, unusual style. (Hopefully they won't try a sequel, because it'd be hard to make it work at all a second time around.) Planning to Netflix Basterds soon. Star Trek is in the shelf - I enjoyed it (particularly the new McCoy and Scotty).

Could not agree more with you on G.I. Joe. I got paid to see that stupid movie and i am still upset about having seen it.

I am looking forward to seeing how Avatar looks on BD when it comes out.
