Anaconda (1997)
5/10
snakes off of a plane
18 June 2006
OK, so in retrospect, "Anaconda" looks pretty ridiculous: Ice Cube talks like a rapper wannabe, Jennifer Lopez always looks like she's getting made up (despite the fact that they're out in the jungle), and the title serpent only attacks obnoxious people. If we accept the movie as just a cheap action flick, it doesn't seem all that bad. The main question is how Oscar winner Jon Voight ended up in something so silly (and the major goof of having Brazilians speak Spanish).

Oh well, Owen Wilson had to start somewhere; he should thank his lucky stars that he didn't have to start out in "Dante's Peak". Also starring Eric Stoltz, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Trejo, and the voice of Frank Welker.

As for snakes in movies, we'll have to see how "Snakes on a Plane" turns out.
