Sunday Double Header

Frogs
How was this considered scary?
     A very young Sam Elliot and Joan Van Ark star in a movie about the environment getting all bent out of shape because of the pollution and senseless hunting. As the title implies, the frogs, as well as countless other reptiles, all band together to become eco-terrorists. Actually, the frogs appear to be the ringleaders or the brains behind the operation. You never see them actually kill anyone as most of the dirty work is done by snakes, lizards, and tarantulas.
     The death scenes are just damn silly. When someone is killed and someone, usually Mr. Elliot, finds the body, it's covered in little lizards, snakes, and spiders. It looks like someone got a little crazy with the sprinkles on their murder cupcake. One by one, they're all taken down in various manners that just aren't scary. The snapping turtle incident being the worst. Stewie Griffin once called the turtle 'Natures D student' and here we're being conned into believing that the turtle killed a lady stuck in mud. Of course it's not shown, so it's just simply implied.
Seriously? You're only ankle deep!.....Lady, you've probably had this coming for a long time.
       Eventually, the 2 hawtest people in the movie escape (along with some kids they now own) and make there way to safety...sort of. Turns out this terrorism was a little more wide spread. The only cool thing (and I do mean the ONLY cool thing) that we're treated to is an animated frog with a hand in it's mouth, post credits.
