I talk a bit about Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds .

Let the bird mayhem begin... again. And this time: they're slightly bigger. Basically more of the same, which should make fans of the original very happy indeed. Apart from the obvious, expected mix of groan-inducing acting, gratuitous ladies-in-their underwear shots, awful sound, shit effects and so on, it seems Birdemic 2 has more of a sense of humour. Take this moment for example: The guys are shooting at some evil vultures (yes that IS meant to be a gunshot on the top right)... When THIS happens: That's just genius. I also like the bird (in the foreground) crashing into the Hollywood sign which is, in fact, waaaay into the background. Did not see that coming. The trailer ends with a weird scene where the girls hit someone with a tripod and their head explodes: Come on! That's not even close to making contact! Yeah I don't know what that scene's about but... I look forward to finding out! A worthy
