Primeval (2007)

Not much buzz has been generated by the year's first (and apparently only) killer crocodile film. Though it's being touted as a serial killer flick (bad idea), the film's alleged serial murderer is actually a 25 foot man-eating croc in Africa. A newsteam is dispatched to track down and capture the critter but things quickly get out of control and soon the team ends up between a croc and a hard place. (Ha! I kill me!) The film came out yesterday and so far there have been hardly any reviews, and next to no talk about it on the web, which is curious to say the least. (IMDB doesn't even have much information regarding this film. No reader reviews, no votes, and nothing from the world's film critics! Very strange!) "Primeval" was set to come out later this year in late Spring but was moved to January 12th because a second (and probably better) killer crocodile film called "Rogue" was hitting screens around the same time. However, "Rogue" has just been pulled from 2007's theatrical release list for reasons unknown, so the whole move was a complete waste. It looks like "Primeval" is going to die off in theaters very quickly and end up on DVD within a month or two. Oh well, guess that serves 'em right for being wusses about going head to head with a similarly themed film. I plan on seeing this flick either tomorrow night or Monday (cash flow and weather permitting) so I'll let ya'll know if it's worth seeing!

And for those that care... I feel much better than I did last night. Sorry about the super-serious and completely depressing blog post last night. But hey, it happens to the best of us, right?
Blog ya later!
