Killer Tomatoes

Well, today's blog is a huge departure from my normal ones.  Well I guess it's only a slight digression, but none the less I find this entertaining.

Today RottenTomatoes.com reported that there will allegedly be a remake of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," from 1978.  According to the website, Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine will be penning the screenplay.  For those of you who are fans of "Ask a Ninja," this is where Nichols gained his acclaim.

For those who are going, "What are you talking about?"  "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," was a film from the 1970's about killer tomatoes that begin to wreak havoc causing the government to set up a specialized task force to handle the hostile fruits.  

If this movie sounds dumb, that's because it is.  But, that's also why you need to watch it.  Take it upon yourself to laugh at the cheesy jokes, bad timing, and Adolf Hitler cameo and make sure you turn your brain off before your DVD player on.

Personally, I think this sounds rather strange and exciting if they can pull it off correctly.  The original movie is a hilarious blend of campy humor, music, and giant killer tomatoes.  What more could you want (I guess besides a movie that doesn't suck).

If, in the slim chance you do find these types of movies entertaining, I suggest watching "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" (a personal favorite), "The Blob" (the 80's version), and the "Critters" series.  Like I said before, don't expect much from these horrors of Hollywood.  Just sit back, relax, and add some cheese to your diet.
