A Stinker of Mammoth Proportions
OK, I'll admit I'm jumping to conclusions with the post title, as I've tuned in midway to the premier broadcast of Mammoth on the Sci Fi Channel. But after seven minutes, it's not looking good.
The movie is apparently about a mammoth (d'oh) that has somehow returned to life and is now wreaking havoc.
Most of the SFC's "original programming" movies are so bad as to be nearly compelling (Sabretooth comes quickly to mind). The intriguing thing is how they get name-brand actors to appear in these things. For example, Tom Skerritt and Summer Glau (of Serenity fame) are in Mammoth.
Well, another ten minutes have sped by, and it's obvious this one's being played for laughs, which is not a bad strategy. Summer Glau just referred to the "zombie soul sucking effect" of a disembodied hand, which should count for something.
However, up to now, there's been no appearance of the beast, a distinct shortcoming in a movie purportedly about a mammoth.
