From Wired Magazine, Now Playing: Cheap-and-Schlocky Blockbuster Ripoffs. It has been such a long time since I had actually walked into a BlockBuster to see the "close but different" movies like:
My kids were enthralled with the concept of "Mega-Shark vs Giant Octopus" and with STRONG leads like Lorenzo Lamas and Debbie Gibson, why wouldn't they be?
- Snakes on a Train (instead of Plane)
- The Land that Time Forgot (instead of Land of the Lost)
- 18 year old virgin (instead of 40 year old virgin)
- Aliens vs Hunter: AVH (instead of Aliens vs Predator: AVP)
- Transmorphers: Fall of Man (instead of Transformers: Whatever)
- Sherlock (instead of Sherlock Holmes)
