4/22/97 Today's movie:   My rating:
 Anaconda  Avoid at all Costs
Distributed by Columbia Pictures
MPAA rating:

OK, I didn't expect this to be the next Alien or anything, but my GOD. I at least hoped to see some really cool snake effects or maybe be able to tell the salivating hordes out there that there was some bare female flesh. Neither exist. There is an embarrassing acting turn from Oscar Winner Jon Voight (I should have been worried when he got thrid billing to Ice Cube), an equally useless performance by Oscar nominee Eric Stoltz, and some truly stupid dialogue from start to finish.
To be completely fair, the locations were lovely real rain forests and the camera work was actually quite good. BUT THIS MOVIE BIT THE WANKER AND IT HAS BEEN #1 IN THE BOX OFFICE FOR TWO WEEKS RUNNING. Will wonders ever cease. Save your money and rent Living in Oblivion instead. Or SSSSSSS - at least that's a funny snake movie.

Avoid Anaconda. If you can't breathe, you can't scream is the tag line. If you can't leave, you can't respect yourself. yuck. ugh. bleagh. ick. phooey. yarg. hork. shemp.
