"The Last Sharknado: It's About Time"

-


 In 2013, the world was introduced to one of the most absurd and yet surprisingly addictive Sharknado movie on Syfy. Since then it has developed both a loyal cult following and five more installments, and last night was the premiere of what is said to be the final installment to end it all. Going the only place the Sharknado has not gone before, back in time.

Picking up immediately where the last movie left off, Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) has traveled back in time to the Jurassic Period to try and stop the first Sharknado in the hopes it will save humanity and his family from their horrible fate in the future. Finding himself reunited with old friends like Nova (Cassandra Scerbo), Bryan (Judah Friedlander) Skye (Vivica A. Fox) and his beloved wife April (Tara Reid) who explains how their son Gill who has been traveling through the vortex through time in the Sharknado saved them before their assumed untimely deaths in earlier films.
Taking on megalodons and fighting off dinosaurs, they think they've won until they find that it will not be so simple. Now they are jumping around time through the vortexes meeting figures throughout history like Morgana Le Fay (Alaska Thunderfuck), George Washington (Darrell Hammond), Billy the Kid (Johnathan Bennett), even Fin's parents (Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling). But with each jump, the risk of changing history for the worst becomes a greater risk leading Fin to take on a horrible future to save the present and all of time from being destroyed forever.

An insane epic ending to a crazy series. While the unrealistic and film spoofing franchise didn't catch my interest originally believing it to be a fad, I see now why it has caught the interest of so many with its crazy one liners, its comically absurd fight and death scenes and the cast of famous names willing to be swept up into the air with flying sharks. This film brings it all and more than you would expect with a heart-warming conclusion as we say goodbye to the people that showed us even in the face of flying sharks, we don't back down. I award and a half G.M. Stars to the "final film". The final half I hold onto since I don't believe we've seen the last of flying sharks and will give it up willingly if they prove me right.

For those who have been following online media and the frequent Netflix browser, you've probably have come across the name Ted Bundy recently. High School Musical's Zac Efron has taken the next step in his acting career by portraying the infamous serial killer who just happened to be born in Burlington, Vermont (true fact) and in the course of his life would go on to be a charismatic intelligent man on the surface and the last guy you would expect of killing over thirty women of various ages.

Aside from telling his life story and occasionally giving up a victim he also gave detectives insight into the mind of another serial killer, one known as "The Green River Killer" During the 1980's, the state of Washington was plagued by a serial killer that would rape and murder women, many of whom were young runaways and sex workers and leave their bodies naked up and down The Green River giving him t
