bad movies

there are good movies, there are bad movies, and there are some movies which never should have seen the light of theday, but for some reason found there way out there. and there is a good reason why these movies exist. to create a baseline. everyone knows that for comparisons, we need a standard frame of reference. this reference frame is provided by such abysmal movies. so, we were tired and bored and decided to watch some tv(sound familiar?), and we ended up seeing a truly disgusting movie about a plane crashing in a swamp because some hijackers insisted that the pilot fly to their destination thru a storm, and the colpit wanted to be a hero, and got shot, and the bullet passed straight through him and messed up the cockpit console and then they crashed, and then they were chased by a bunch of angry crocodiles. meanwhile the boyfriend of one of the wimmen on the plane(i am not sure whether it was the blonde airhostess or the other one, cos they killed off all the other wimmen early on) gets into a rage at these random events which are keeping him from his girl, and hires a tracker who magiks a chopper from under the bar and they go tracking. we are treated to some scenes in which a clearly plastic croc is towed/pushed by extras(just out of the field of view of the camera) and at one point is "nuzzling" the bloke. the tracker is a typical wannabe Hemingwayish hero crossed with a special forces washout. the croc is plastic. the dialogues are braindead, the camera work is awful. as you observe, not the best of movies to see.
