Pterodactyl

Tonight's awesome movie for guys who like awesome movies is...

Professor Lovecraft (played by Cameron Daddo) is a paleontologist whose career is in a slump. He hopes to revive it with a trip into the Turkish forest, where a recent earthquake has opened a rift in the dormant volcano, Mt. Ararat. His crew includes the whiny daughter of his funder, a kid who thinks pterodactyls are awesome and who hopes that they find some live ones in the forest and the intelligent Kate Heinlein (played by Amy Sloan). 

Meanwhile, Captain Bergen (played by Coolio) leads his special ops unit on a dangerous mission to track down a terrorist. What no one knows is that the kid is going to get his wish because a cache of perfectly preserved pterodactyl eggs has hatched due to the rift.

Professor Lovecraft and his crew make it to the forest and then the kid has to go pee. He walks into the forest, alone. As he's going through the forest he trips on a giant pile of yellow stuff, which we know very well is dried up pterodactyl urine. He runs to get the others. As they return the kid says that he thinks it's dried up pterodactyl urine. Everybody thinks he's crazy but we know he's right on, after all, it's a well known fact that pterodactyls, though thought to be extinct, they in fact still live in Turkish forests and fly around peeing all over the trees.

A little while later the whiny girl strips down to take a swim. After the whiny girl gets attacked while taking her fresh swim in the near by pond, she runs to warn everyone. Nobody believes her except for the kid who says this is just proving his theory.

Then suddenly these random hunter guys show up to push Professor Lovecraft and his team around. I didn't understand the point of these people except that they were there to get eaten by the pterodactyls. Just then Coolio and his team of soldiers show up. They try to rescue Lovecraft and the others. A lot of the soldiers get cut in half by the pterodactyls and whiny girl gets her arm ripped off. Now the two groups have to join forces to battle the pterodactyls.

This is where it starts to get really good. The two teams run into the forest to seek shelter and find a cabin with a chewed up guy in front of it. "Hurry, let's hide in here!", somebody yells. The female soldier covers everybody as they run inside.

Once inside, the pterodactyls start flying over the cabin trying to get inside. One pterodactyl breaks through a window and bites the kid. He yells for help and then Lovecraft runs over
and jumps on the pterodactyl's head. He grabs a gun and shoots the pterodactyl in the eye.
Then Coolio puts on his weapon helmet that somehow controls missiles. He loads his two guns and tells Lovecraft to open the door. He then starts unloading his ammunition in the pterodactyl that was planning on coming in the front door.
He kills the pterodactyl.
Then Coolio goes outside to let the pterodactyls have it.
He locks on with his weapon hat and fires missiles, blowing up a ton of pterodactyls.
But then Kate is suddenly picked up by a pterodactyl and taken to their lair. Lovecraft says they need to rescue her and they run after the pterodactyl. We then see Kate in the pterodactyl lair and she's surrounded by baby pterodactyls feeding on dead soldiers. Instead of stepping on all the baby pterodactyls Kate decides to hide in a cave. 
Soon Lovecraft, Coolio and everybody else show up. Coolio whips out two blasters and blows up the lair.

One pterodactyl got away, the leader pterodactyl. Coolio, Lovecraft and Kate run down the mountain and the pterodactyl chases them. In the middle of a field Coolio decides to face off with the pterodactyl. He activates his missile hat, "Target lock! It's time to dance and I'm your DJ." The pterodactyl swoops down and grabs Coolio and scratches him, a lot. He drops Coolio and he falls to the ground and dies. There's only one thing left to do! Lovecraft runs over to Coolio and puts on his weapon hat. "You're gonna be bones again," he says. He summons a missile with the weapon hat and just as the pterodactyl comes flying down to grab him
the heat-seeking missile flies up the pterodactyl's rectum.
BOOM!
This was a great movie! SciFi really came through with this one. 
I highly recommend it.
 

Parker's been to Pizza Hut

Parker couldn't sleep, so to avoid going to bed he came downstairs to ask Becky some questions. Becky told him to think of happy things and then he asked, "Mom, first I have something I have to ask you. Have I ever been to Pizza Hut?" 
Yes, Parker has been to Pizza Hut. We went there with Arlena and Jacque on our way home from Canada last year.

Shark Attack 3

Late night movie time. Becky & I are watching a B-rate movie about a Megalodon.
For about the first hour of the movie there's a boat with a bunch of shark hunters chasing a tiny shark that they think is a Megalodon. The shark then growls and charges the boat. He breaks through the boat and tries to eat the main lady who was down below but she shoots the shark in the head with a shotgun. They celebrate thinking they killed the Megalodon. Just then another guy comes in a boat to save the stranded hunters who are treading water. As he approaches them the Megalodon comes up and swallows the ship whole.
Everybody freaks out, "Woah, did you see that?!" The main guy and the girl grab a hold of their overturned boat and signal their friends, but it's too late.


Then a yacht goes out for a pleasure cruise and the shark eats them all.


Meanwhile our heroes meet up with this old dude who stole a torpedo a while back, which he now keeps in his basement in the event that something like this should ever happen. They load the torpedo into a mini sub and go after the shark. The shark bites the sub and tries to chew it up. The guy quickly exits the sub after shooting off the torpedo, which is programmed to circle around and hit the mini sub in the mouth of the shark. The guy swims really fast and gets well out of range of the blast as the torpedo blows up the shark.
As the three are resting on a raft after escaping the Megalodon, our hero laughs and asks, "Megalowho?"
