Welcome to Salty Popcorn - my site dedicated to expressing my opinion on films. Most of the reviews I read in the paper make me angry that they are either all so negative or I completely disagree with them. So now it's my turn. I hope you enjoy it and if you do sign up for updates on the left hand side. Thanks for stopping in!! Also, be sure to check out my other blogs www.sydneytable.com and http://www.orble.com/total-randomness/ PLEASE NOTE: My scoring of films is now based on an "Out of 10" score. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

Trailer of the Day: New Piranha Trailer

: Jaws 17

Here is the latest trailer for Piranha - I am actually looking forward to some slaughter action.

Piranha TRL


Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for Spring Break; a riot of sun and drunken fun. But this year, there's something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers; A new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area's new razor-toothed residents.

I posted the other trailer about a week ago and you can view it HERE

I have since found out this is a remake (pretty much) of a 1978 film of the same name.

You didn't know it was a remake? Yeah, directed by Joe - The Howling - Dante and written by the great John - The Brother From Another Planet - Sayles (who's doctored more Hollywood scripts than you can imagine).

I don't like the piranha design, looks more alien than prehistoric, the normal looking piranha are scary enough cos they looks kinda ordinary, cept for their nasty teeth and wicked eyes.
There's too much CGI by the look as well. Obviously all the fish are CGI-ed and that doesn't bode well, but then, how else they gonna do it? The original used real piranha footage, combined with suggestion.
I hope Aja shows some serious gore. That's what it needs. Otherwise it'll be lame. Some Spring Break female nudity will work a treat too. Hey, it's trash, best embrace it!

Errr....I'm absolutely speechless. The piranha look completely unreal and I love the dramatic pauses before they tuck into their victims LOL Can Christopher Lloyd overact any more or is he playing a whacked out scientist. And is that Richard Dreyfuss that I see? Shock and horror!!! If you star in a classic movie like Jaws, you don't lower your standards and follow up with Piranha, even though it's over 30 years later. That's just wrong!

I've never seen the original but my prediction is that someone sacrifices himself and lure the Piranha in some cave that's rigged with a bunch of explosives and they nuke it all, killing everything - however, there's always one piranha that doesn't fall for such juvenile tactics and she with her impregnated self get away! At the end you see the fish charge the screen revealing ferocious teeth! Well it's in 3D, it's gotta end that way.

Any wagers?

I think I'll pass on this one. I like my horror more realistic and not too CGI'd.

Keen to see a review of the original Bryn - more keen to hire it and watch it I am interested now. I do like the design of the new piranha. Agreed that the proper fish is scary enough but this is meant to be an "alien" kind of fish. I don't hate CGI that much - I think it works well if used correctly and nowadays a lot of films can not be unless CGI is used. Agreed I WANT GORE!!! The female spring break nudity is all your haha

I agree with Sammy (Rix) that it will be more comedic than a thriller. This is what I am looking forward to

Cinema Herald - I have been trying to comment on some of your recent posts. Is there a glitch or do you not allow comments. Some of your posts have been great but can't seem to let you know that on the individual posts. I completely agree with your ending prediction by the way, spot on I think. Then we can have Piranha 2 and 3 and so on lol.
