MAMMOTH is coming!
 
http://www.amazon.com/Mammoth-Tom-Sk...9214989&sr=1-1

This isn't great. It's a SciFi Channel flick, which should say it all. But if that's your cup of tea, this is the best one with which I was associated. It's no Mansquito, but honestly, what is?

Tom Skerrit
Summer Glau
Vincent Ventresca
Directed by the immensely talented Tim Cox (the upcoming MISS NOBODY - with a cameo by me)

We got an Emmy Nomination for special effects, but lost to Dean Devlin's "The Triangle"

Pick it up January 8

But I won't see a penny, so don't buy it out of allegiance or anything like that, seriously this is only for lovers of silly monster movies...Crabby - I'm looking at you;)

I caught this a little earlier in the month and I have to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised.

While it's obviously a low budget movie, that doesn't stop the director from his job - directing a motion picture. The acting, whilst sometimes wooden and occasionally brick, was on the whole above par for this type of film. It's no Mansquito, but honestly, what is?

But the big question with any films in this genre is, of course, "What's the monster like?" I shall answer the question with another question - what's the blackest, nastiest, most terrible dream you have ever had of a mammoth? Yes? There lies your answer, broken and twisted on a flickering television screen for all to see.

In this reviewers humble opinion, it is the best Mammoth related film of 2008. Perhaps even the best "prehistoric creature revived in modern times" film of the last few years. Kudos to Mr. Cox and his motley crew of humans - you have surpassed yourselves with this film, and I eagerly await the sequel, "Mammoth 2: Mammmmoth"

I don't think you'd like it. Like I said earlier it's a SciFi Channel movie - none of them are any good.

Rent it, don't buy.

Rod, is Mr. Oo and The Grumbler part of your Mammoth crew?

Smells like a spam setup to me.. :rolleyes:



That being said, yes Mammoth is quite decent.

I dunno, I really enjoyed Sabertooth

This is true, but some of them are fun nonetheless. I'll be checking it out very soon, I'm sure. :)

just got done reading a review of this in the new issue of Fango. it got one and a half eyeballs from "the Video Eye of Dr. Cyclops." apparently "Dr. Cyclops" didn't care for the humor.

still probly worth checking out, from reading the reviews (it said something about a giant mammoth sneaking up on people. now that's a mental image that a man can get behind!).

I'm gonna have to rent this.....just because
