Mammoth Watch

Well, my good friends at the SciFi channel are at it again. Mammoth is hitting the small screen this weekend, and with a tagline like "We hunted it to extinction, now it's hunting us" you know it's gonna be kickass. It also stars Tom Skerritt, a true believer in Grieco and a great American hero. Hell, let's see what the gifted people behind films such as Manticore, Minotaur, and Frankenfish had to say about their latest piece:

"When a meteor smashes into a Pleistocene museum, the fury of a partially frozen, 40,000-year-old mammoth is unleashed on a small country town.Under orders to contain the threat posed by the mammoth at all costs, Special Agents Powers (Leila Arcieri) and Whitaker (Marcus Lyle Brown) are given 17 hours to kill the mammoth or else the entire town will be decimated. The agents recruit local paleontologist Dr. Frank Abernathy (Vincent Ventresca) to help them hunt down the creature before its rampage of death and destruction reaches the outside world.With the clock ticking and the body count rising, the only chance Dr. Abernathy has of saving his daughter, Jack (Summer Glau), and B-movie-fanatic father, Simon (Tom Skerritt), is to help the agents destroy his life's work."

I'm pretty sure Marcus Lyle Brown was in SciFi's Locusts, so you know he's got the goods. Check it out if you have the chance, and pray that it ends with the birth of a baby Mammoth so we can all dream about, as The Ghost of Gene Siskel is fond of saying, the sequel that will never happen.

p.s. please try the links, I'm really proud I figured out how to do them.
