Schindler s List. The Godfather. Citizen Kane. Gone With The Wind. PBS
Documentary on Raisin-Sorting. None of them come even close to Lionel
Barleycorn's visual opus, Jaws X. Starring, among other noteworthy actors,
David Hasselhoff, this action-packed film will have you selling your wild
oats and buying tuna-safe dolphin meat.
The movie begins when Hollywood harlots Tori Spelling and Shannon Doherty
are perplexed by the overnight disappearance of their sandcastle with a
moat they had intricately placed right by the water. The beauties are
devoured by the large fish, played by newcomer Kenneth Starr. The monster
then reaches its metabolic goals when it travels to nearby Canondale where
Carson Weekly is hosting Total Request Dead. The fish engulfs Britney
Spears, N Sync, the Backstreet Boys and Lou Bega in one fatal swoop.
Particular visual effect is given to Starr's character trying to digest
Ms. Spear's silicone. The shark, through an amazing amount of strength,
bellows, "Yeah, I'll hit you one more time, maybe two or three more times!"
Katie Holmes plays LaWanda Gnutcase, a graduate student from Johannes
Hoppes University, who travels to Canondale with her professor and mentor
Dr. Nicholas Yang, played by Jet Li. Holmes does a wonderful job as the
character who eventually slays the beast with those brown, puppy dog eyes
and that sweet, sweet smile.
Li is probably the best actor in this film, his amazing fighting skills
were used many times against Hasselhoff, who plays the disgruntled CIA
agent Rider Knight, in search of truth, purity, the shark, and a late-model Pontiac Firebird. Li is constantly annoyed by Knight's relentless
screaming at his government-issue Ford LTD, which does not respond to
voice command. Often, the movie can move off-plot to focus on the intense
fight scenes, which take up an hour of the film.
This movie is far superior to Jaws IV-IX. Barry DeMann, who directed those
movies, was so depressed by this movie that he now runs a funeral parlor.
Barleycorn's previous movies, which includes the PBS special Lippy: The
Lemming With A Multiple Identity Crisis, are no match for his present
success. Barleycorn said yesterday, "Um, yeah, like, doobies are not good
for sharks...duh...uh."
Be forewarned! This movie is so good that it is not in theaters.
Blockbuster and Hollywood video decided not to stock the film either, for
they feared a massive crowd could not be handled by their staff. The only
place to watch Jaws X is BadMovies.com, where the Bad actually means
really, really swell.
Overall, this is definitely a complete waste of ti.. I mean, a film worthy
of your complete attention. I was sobbing at the very end with the intense
classical rendition of Hasselhoff's "I ll Be There," accompanied by opera
master Salami Bologna. If you want a movie that delivers the goods, I
strongly recommend this film. Everything else you can just chum into the
sea.
