I have decided to cheer on SyFy Channel no matter what. I have come to the conclusion, I don't care what it is the powers-to-be toss out there, I will watch the stupid thing…and like it. Similar to that old commercial with kid who think the cereal given to him is poison and then decides to give it to his clueless brother, I feel SyFy" is TV's version of Mikey. The regular networks won't touch the programs – feed them to SyFy. Firstly, all of these shows have more cheese than Wisconsin; they stink worse than a stopped up Alaskan-outhouse and each script makes less sense than a clowder of unsatisfied, horny cats. But that doesn't matter (in this case at least.) I may sound cruel, but for the most part, they are enjoyable. The makers of this celluloid mayhem are not serious, so why should I be? As long as the laughs at least seem unintentional, I will devour these comedies whenever and wherever. Keep them coming, and feed me more of the "SyFy Koolaide." Oh and about "Snowmageddon", it's pretty much the same as "Ice Twisters", "Ice Quake" and "Piranhaconda." Something happens to a town, people splatter blood and all is good at the end. I will give this cinema-graphic phenomenon a big 6/10.

Brilliant, really... All the ingredients are there: a nice nuclear family with the usual problems (including a moderately rebellious teenager), some foggy problem in the community always already confronted in the very beginning by the image of a fantastically harmonious family; some puppy love in the making - and breaking, inconclusively (not sure who the young lady fancied but someone died); then, there's the hero! He rushed boldly into the volcano - that had not shown any sign of existing prior to that - and bravely dumped the mysterious Xmas toy that had arrived at his doorstep out of nowhere. Oh come on... If you get a weird package on your doorstep, you'd call the police, no?

As I have said many times already I have made no secret of disliking a lot of SyFy's films, but I do keep watching to see if they do come up with something that is watchable at least. They have done a few movies that are surprisingly tolerable though even they are far from perfect, but most are bad but you are amused by the awfulness or are like witnessing a train-wreck.I was very mixed on Snowmageddon actually, of the above categories it sits between the tolerable and so bad it's good ones. I do give it plaudits for the better than average acting, granted it is not brilliant but it is award-worthy compared to the likes of Quantum Apocalypse and Titanic II, decent photography and a storyline that is mostly interesting and original in concept.That is not to say that the story is perfect though. It is interesting and generally well paced, but it does take a while to get going and the ending is abrupt. There are also scenes and ideas that suspend disbelief and don't make much sense, but for the first time in a while I actually got some novelty value out of them. These are including the ideas that electricity is still flowing in a town that is cut off from the rest of the world, flying even with ice bombs are going off and nobody in the town carrying a knife.Snowmageddon also has some amateurish effects-though I've seen worse-, cheesy dialogue and characters that aren't developed enough to make us care for them. I loved the title, but it didn't fit with the concept and story, it was like there had been a last minute title change or that they had thought of a new idea and forgot to think of a title that fitted.Overall, not as bad as other SyFy efforts, but there is nothing really that stood out to make it memorable or good. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Snowmageddon is one of those movies like "Curse of the Cat People" -- it has nothing to do with its title -- in this case an extinction-level plague of wintry mix.I would bet a carton of Camels that it was written under the name "Snow Globe" -- until somebody discovered the title was snagged by the Christina Milian ABC Family movie. That flick, about a romance-challenged girl who disappears into a fantasy land residing inside her water-filled Christmasy glass ball, is 10 times more entertaining.This time, however, the snow globe is oddly unsnowy. I was waiting for the obvious plot device -- somebody shakes the globe and the Ice Age returns to bury the town under two miles of glaciers. Instead, the little village in the glass ball is beset by weirdly unseasonal phenomena like quakes, horizontal stratospheric tornadoes and spiky things that thrust up through the Earth's crust -- the latter being the movie's shark-jumping moment. (Full disclosure time: I fell asleep for half an hour in Act II but awoke to decide that I hadn't missed anything. Maybe the globe was shaken while I was out...? nahhh.) The holiday angle is also oddly shoehorned into the proceedings. You string up some colored lights, scatter a few trimmed trees around the sets and abra-cadabra: An instant holiday movie. All you need is a line of dialogue about how it was a holiday miracle when the town was saved from destruction.And as for the climax -- hey, look! there's a volcano suddenly erupting just outside of town! Maybe that has something to do with all this weird unnatural madness. Let's go throw this thing in there and surely that will put an end to our troubles. Poof! Problem solved.SyFy Channel once again performs a valuable service for would-be screenwriters -- to prove that anyone can write one.
