Skeeters!
Run away from the giant mosquitos!!
How else could these giant mosquitos exist if not by toxic waste? Oh toxic waste, how you create super (and always evil) creatures to entertain us so. Last night was yet another B-rated horror movie night. Tod, Liz, and I all picked one movie and we are all writing reviews on our picks. Check out their sites for their reviews:

My choice: Skeeters. First off, I would like to say that my pick was probably the best of the three. It had it all: one liners, evil mutated creatures, a Mexican playing a Native American, and so on.
Skeeters takes place in the little town of Clear Sky. The evil land developer, Drake, is leaving toxic waste in an abandoned mine. The festering cesspool is the optimum place for the mosquitos. And they grow to enormous proportions!! The first to go are the burlap sacks....I mean, the cattle. Then people start dying. These mosquitos come out of nowhere with their yellow vision and attack! Roy, a deputy, calls on the aid of...some government geologist. He cames to Clear Sky and checks out the water supply of the area. During his visit he goes to "Crazy Guy (I don't think he had a name)." This is apparently the town nutcase. So geologist leaves and we see Crazy Guy go upstairs to his home. He walks over to a cage sitting on a bureau. One would assume it's a gerbil, rabbit, or even a ferret...but oh no, it's a skeeter! The guy sticks his arm IN the cage to feed his darling pet. Creepy. It's finally discovered by geology guy and Sarah where the mosquitos are breeding. Watch out! Here comes the evil Sheriff! Sarah falls in a hole where she finds the dead body of a local teen!! Ahhh! Evil Sheriff is attacked my the skeeters. Geology guy leaves her there to get Roy and Mexican Native American. Roy straps on his blowtorch/flamethrower and they're off to save the day! They get to Sarah and save her. The skeeters start to attack Roy! Oh no, not the hero! Eventually they torch/blow up the mine and Clear Sky is saved.
Best Actor: Roy, and his inability to button his shirt
Best Supporting Actor: the Native American played by a Mexican
Best Line: It's a tie between- "Suck on this!" performed by Mexican Native American, and "I got one!!" performed by the Sheriff with his dying breath
Best Actress: the girl who went catatonic after seeing her father killed by the skeeters
Best Costume: Roy's shirt with no buttons
Best Use of Technology: the computerized mosquito shadows that appeared out of nothing
Overall I'd give this movie an A+. If you are looking for really bad scary movies...go for Skeeters! If you wanna see some great pics, check this out: http://the-bob.org/~littleliz/gallery/album02 I will leave you all with this:
"This is MY town and I'm going to see this through." ~Roy
