Day of the Dolphin
Honestly, when I put this on the
list, I had thought it was similar to Night of the Lepus,
but it ended up being more like The Manchurian Candidate.
Sooo...yeah. I didn't do my research. I was really hoping for a movie
about a dolphin dad who witnesses his family's murder by an evil
corporation that was dumping toxic waste into the ocean. The entire
family, while sightseeing the coral reef, was doused with said toxic
waste and the father was the only to survive. One side effect of the
exposure to the toxic matter was super huma...er, super dolphin
strength, along with a new ability to walk on land, laser eyes, razor
sharp titanium teeth, and a rather uncanny penchant for one-liners
after a gruesome kill. As he works his way up the ladder, one by one
he starts knocking off members of the board of trustees with the CFO
and company President in his red-hued eyes of fiery death.
Instead,
I watched a George C. Scott movie about a dolphin trained to plant bombs on boats. Does it help any that the dolphin talks? No?...k. Oh,
it was nominated for 2, yes, 2
Academy
Awards! Still not buying it? Eh, I got nothing.
Friday: Make with the Mars booty already!!!
