... Sinbad and the Minotaur

9-11 PM SYFY

The title of this bargain-bin crapfest is an outright lie. According to Merriam-Webster, a minotaur is a half-man, half-bull monster. But Sinbad's labyrinth-dwelling creature is just a big bull with freaky spikes. Then again, don't look for linguistic accuracy in a movie that mashes Greek and Arabian myth into a stew of bad CGI, questionable accents, and ambient cleavage. As the titular hero, Manu Bennett (Spartacus) sports oily biceps and excess hair gel, resembling Jersey Shore's Ronnie cast adrift in the open sea. Watch with your friends and have a laugh. Or, you know, do anything else with your Saturday night.
