Signs of the Looming Apocalypse: Piranha 3DD Begins Production

I love movies where killer fish go wild on unsuspecting humans and when I say movies I really mean Jaws. Everything else is utter crap. True story. When Piranha 3D came out last summer, I held my breath and hoped for the best, as I always do with these types of movies. I thought the cast was decent and the plot seemed ripe for success. Boy, was I wrong. Piranha 3D was absolute crap. It was a cameo-fest for pornstars

James Cameron Should Shut His Piehole

By ANDY MORGAN I’m sure you’ve heard the brouhaha James Grumpypants Cameron started last week by dropping a Cleveland Steamer on the recently released Piranha 3D, whereupon one of the movie’s producers, Mark Canton, responded in kind today with a longwinded email that was equally douchetastic as Cameron’s verbal napalm in his interview with Vanity Fair. And while I’m not impressed with either man’s behavior, I’m going to single out James Cameron because he was the instigator. All of those

Summer will End on a High Note with Piranha 3D

There’s a new poster out for Piranha 3D and the sheer silliness of the artwork makes me giddy for August 20th, and, ironically, the 3D format. Batshit crazy fish with razor sharp teeth jumping off the screen and in my face is what 3D was made for and belays the gimmicky foundation of the technology. I’m excited for this movie and I think the movie should be a nice capstone to the so-so summer of 2010. Check out the full-sized

Trailer Tuesday: Piranha 3-D

Piranha 3-D looks like a lot of fun. It looks like blood, guts, boobies and action. And those attributes make Piranha 3-D exactly the kind of campy stage to showcase a gimmicky, has-been, still-not-impressive movie technique that is making a comeback, and hopefully a quick death, with 2010’s landing in all things 1980s. Yeah, I hate 3-D. So does Roger Ebert. And – gasp! – I even hate 3-D in Avatar. Suck on that, James Cameron. 3-D belongs in animated

Trailer Tuesday: Piranha 3D

I feel guilty perpetuating nefariously obtained, poor quality trailers (that will likely be yanked in the coming hours), but I’m also convinced the world needs more mainstream “fish-that-eat-people-movies”. So the decision to post the trailer for Piranha 3D was kind of foregone. Way back, Andy threw up some pics and an interview from the upcoming Alexandre Aja-directed (The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors, Haute Tension) cheese-fest. The movie was slated for an April 2010 release but recent rumor mongering says that

Piranha 3D Nabs Old Hottie from Karate Kid

Elisabeth Shue, who once had hugs and kisses with Ralph Macchio in “The Karate Kid,” is set to further the complete gimmickiness of 3D by starring in a re-do of “Piranha,” a campy, “Jaws” wannabe from way back in 1978. The original was directed by Joe Dante (“Gremlins”), this version, aptly and creatively titled “Piranha 3D” is helmed by Alexandre Aja, whose claim to fame is directing another old horror remake, 2006’s “The Hills Have Eyes.” “Piranha 3D” has a
