July 12, 2013— -- quicklist:1title: 'Sharknado' Storm Blows Through Internettext: Sharks + tornados + 90s-era actors = biggest Syfy movie hit in years.

Syfy's original movie "Sharknado" grabbed the U.S. consciousness and stormed the Internet as it aired Thursday night on the cable channel, leaving a path of destruction where no shark-tornado puns will ever live again.

One review on movie website IMDB called the film "gloriously incompetent and gleefully terrible."

"Absolutely nothing make [sic] sense. Physics and natural laws are ignored. Horrible CGI and cringe-worthy dialog. Outrageous continuity exceeded only by horrible color correction and clunky editing. The all together wooden acting no doubt achieved in single takes is sincere, earnest and fails on levels that should win awards," the review read. "And you can't stop watching." media:19651561

The tiny offspring of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise emerged from a New York City building into a scrum of paparazzi earlier this week, immediately telling them to "stop it" and "get out of the way" as she walked to her car, Holmes smiling politely to her side as they walked.

When one loud-mouthed photographer yelled "little brat" and other names at the small celebrity, she hopped into her SUV while fellow paparazzi turned on the heckler, according to E!.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," another cameraman yelled. "When you're a father, bro..."
