Just when you thought it was safe to walk around Los Angeles, Sharknado — a wonderfully preposterous made-for-TV creature feature — premieres on the SyFy Channel, introducing a whole new kind of natural disaster. The film chronicles what happens when a devastating hurricane off the coast of L.A. drives a bunch of man-eating sharks close to shore, then propels them into a killing spree after a series of deadly tornados sends them airborne. There will be blood. There will be bikinis. There will be Beverly Hills 90210's Ian Ziering cutting a flying shark in half with a chainsaw.
