Money Train
This attempt to reunite the stars of White Men Can't Jump will most likely be remembered as the movie that allegedly inspired a number of copycat arsons in the New York subway system. In other words, the movie itself is too perfunctory to be remembered for any other reason. Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes share their established chemistry as a pair of stepbrothers who work the subway detail as undercover detectives in the NYPD. Woody's a compulsive gambler with a huge debt problem to contend with, and he's also competing with his brother for the attentions of their new and beautiful partner (Jennifer Lopez), who's been assigned to join their investigation of the subway crimes. They're also supposed to guard the daily money train (so named because it contains each day's worth of subway fares), but Woody gets the bright idea that it might be the solution to his money woes. What follows is standard-issue action fare for the mid-1990s--lots of violence, excessive profanity, and attempts at witty banter between the costars to make it all seem more entertaining than it really is. You'd need to be a serious Harrelson, Snipes, or Lopez fan to add this movie to your collection. For anyone else, one viewing ought to be enough. --Jeff Shannon

This giant-man-eating-snake-in-the-jungle thriller definitely scores points as a guilty pleasure, especially with Jon Voight hamming it up as the monster-poacher. He makes life miserable for a team of documentary filmmakers on the Amazon river. Anaconda is one of those movies that exists for no other reason than to give computer animators a chance to strut their stuff with a new digital beastie, and they don't disappoint. It's a lot of fun to watch the mega-snake scarf down its victims and--in the case of Voight--regurgitate 'em right back up again, all covered in gooey digestive juices. You might wonder why Eric Stoltz, who plays Dr. Steven Cale, showed up for a role that requires him to be off-screen for most of the movie, but hey--when it comes to big snake movies, you might as well put your brain on hold and sit back for the slimy ride. --Jeff Shannon

Fun trash.......2007-02-22

A documentary film crew on the Amazon River finds itself shanghaied into a crazy river rat's (Jon Voight) quest to capture a giant anaconda. "Moby Dick," it ain't. But it is a lot of fun, with smart writing, some good thrills, decent special effects, and quirky performances. Voight, in particular, is hugely entertaining as he steps right up to the line between acting and mugging for the camera and remains precariously balanced there for the length of the film.

just avoid this movie.......2007-01-28

I don't know how more money Hollywood need to spend to understand that Jennifer Lopez can't act. She just can't - it looks horribly fake. Maybe she can sing, but not act.

This is a dreadful movie - there is not one aspect of it which deserves any sort of praise. I hated it when I saw it at the cinema and, having given it another chance, have not changed my opinion.

Laughable special effects, balsa-wood characters and a script written by someone who's just read 'How To Write A Movie Script In 10 Easy Steps' makes this, perhaps, the worst movie of all time (shame to you, Hollywood). These types of movie never cease to amaze me - all the characters know that there's a huge, man-eating snake in the water, so what do they do? They get in the water, of course!!

Fact or fiction..........2007-01-11

I saw this when it first came out at the movies. Decent entertainment if you don't confuse the behavior of REAL anaconda with the onscreen antics shown here. Good acting overall, some pretty hammy (Jon Voight) and some not acting at all (Ice Cube).For those looking to learn the habits of anacondas- watch National Geographic instead. For those looking to kill a few hours watching a no-brainer thats got a few thrills, a pretty leading lady and a easy to hate villian, than this just might be worth checking out.

Lightweight fun with gruesome deaths.......2006-09-02

The plot is thinner than a Kleenex, J-Lo attempts to play an (unusually gorgeous and well-dressed) aspiring film student who, with her tough-but-lovable assistant Ice Cube, somehow find themselves on a barge along with a few other ditzy Hollywood stereotypical characters, including an over-the-top Englishman, heading up some remarkably bug-free Amazon tributary to film a documentary.

As fate would have it, they happen upon Jon Voight's character (Jon Voight! Is that really him?!), who A) blows the other actors off the screen B) is a genuinely creepy psychotic presence. They "rescue" him from his stranded boat.

There are brief flashes of brilliance in this story, but they are paved over by the horsey acting from all parties excepting Mr. Voight and Mr. Cube. Jon Voight is terrific, and Ice Cube is playing himself. Who cast this mess? J-Lo's famous shape is displayed, nay, showcased, in at least half a dozen scenes. The movie is beautifully photographed, which makes the near-total lack of a believable story unfortunate, and the absurd ending, complete with the 100% anticipated surprise ending, leaves you yawning. By 2006 standards the special effects seem quaint.

Watch it for the cinematography and Jon Voight. And J-Lo's delectable corpus. Cute boobs and a sensational rear end, I must say.

Smart , entertaining action movie. Jon Voight makes this one a guilty pleasure.......2006-06-06

Anaconda is a smart, clever horror flick. A well-written script, a solid cast of actors and excellent cinematography make this film stand out so well that you overlook the cheesy CGI and rubber snakes.
Basically the story is about a documentary film crew looking to make a movie about a tribe in South America. On their journey down the river, a knowledgeable tracker slithers his way on board the ship. Using his knowledge of human psychology along with some clever divisive tactics, the manipulative man wraps his grip around the crew and begins to trick them into his quest to poach a giant snake. I like the use of an anaconda in this movie. The snake is great metaphor for what this guy does to the crew psychologically.
The bodies don't start dropping in this movie until about an hour into the film. But unlike other horror movies, you really don't care about the body count or some cheesy rubber and CGI snake. The real snake is already on the screen, and you'll want to see is if the surviving crewmembers can overcome this predator's psychological manipulation. When the two remaining members of the film crew finally do outwit him, he becomes snake food. A few minutes later, the big computer generated snake gets flame broiled like a whopper. At the end of the movie they find that lost tribe they were looking for and begin filming their documentary.
What surprised me about Anaconda is the amount of depth this film had for a horror movie. I came in expecting low-budget cheese, but was surprised to see symbolism and metaphors mixed amongst the blood and gore. The well-written script has solid characters and develops all of them. Using a small cast of characters allows the viewer to get to know everyone and allows all the characters to have depth and dimension.
The acting in this movie are extremely solid. Jennifer Lopez gives a strong performance here and Ice Cube shows growth as an actor. Owen Wilson is good here as comic relief. However, Jon Voight steals the movie as the deadly South American snake poacher. Voight disappears into his character with perfect delivery of a South American accent that makes you think he's someone else.
Anaconda is well worth the purchase price. Pick this one up along with both versions of Carrie. Just be sure to avoid the sequel Anacondas, that movie is garbage. I'm a Salli Richardson fan (sadly she's in this for rent money, or to pay an electric bill or something. :( ) and even I wouldn't touch that wretched mess with a ten-foot pole.

Wonderful show!!!.......2006-07-20

This show is one of the all-time greatest animation / comedy show ever made! It is a childrens show but can be appreciated by adults too because the humor and characters can be interesting to anyone. This show is a major hit in the UK and Canada, but of course in the US the best shows are never aired -no thanks to the corporate Disney monopoly. For more info. on this search "angela anaconda" on wikipedia. Overall, this show rocks!!!

I love it - however, the entire series needs to be out on DVD.......2006-05-15

If you love Angela Anaconda, you will love this DVD. It doesn't have as many episodes as I would like, but it is just hillarious. I hope they put the rest of the series on DVD. I actually saw it when I was living in Spain and got hooked really quick. I won't give my age away, but I'm quite a bit older than the recommended viewer. It's entertaining, and fun for the entire family.

Great Under-rated Show!.......2005-09-02

First off let me say that this is good show for people of all ages. It is kid-appropriate even though it doesn't have any lessons or special messages - It is simply a funny show about a girl and her friends. I love the weird ransome note cut & paste animation that makes this show so appealing. The people look like homemade paper dolls.

I am 22 and I first remember watching this show in 10-15 clips on HBO when I was 9, so that would be about 1993. I loved this offbeat show because it was surreal and funny and I hated Nanette because I knew a million girls like her. I enjoyed watching A.A. until my mom decided that extended cable was an unnecessary expense and got rid of it.

I forget all about Angela Anaconda until my junior year in high school. One day after-school I was channel surfing and there it was on the FOX Family Channel. (This was during that weird time when it went from being the Family Channel, to the ABC Family Channel, to the Fox Family Channel and then to the ABC Family channel again.)

Anyways I was elated to see it again in it's own half-hour show.

I gave the DVD 4 stars because I do not own it, so I cannot recommend it, but I do recommend the show

Ending can be improved..........2004-12-24

This is the most exciting movies ever! However, there is still room for improvement. The biggest flaw is the pretty much expected ending. Upon seeing the cliff with the anacondas at the bottom, people can usually guess who is going to fall in "in the end".

Go Snakes! Go!.......2004-10-08

First of all I just want to say I love these movies. I'll tell you the truth, there horribale! But there's snakes thats what makes it so good. They say they are going to have 2 of the anaconda films in one packdge. But what really disapionts me is there are only 2 disks! Witch proboly means theres not gonna be much bounus feateres on these DVDs.

Anaconda(1997) 4 stars

I really had a good time wathing this film. Jon Voight really did well. The CGI efects are kind of modorite, nothing special. And one of the greatest endings ever in a film like this. Took awhile to get started but once it picked up it never stoped. Alot of people died too. It had a lot of humor. That British guy was relly funny! Overall 4 stars

Anacondas the Hunt for the Blood Orchid(2004)

Okay, I have alot of things to say about this film. Its just about as good as the first but is it just me or the Anacondas kind of look different. And how did anacondas end up Bornio(spelling?). I thought this was scareier than the first.And the animation is better than the first. That monkey was a little anoying. Even more people die! The ending was pretty good and the movie got up to pace quick, VERY quick! Theres more than one snake too. Rock on! Overall 3 and a half stars

Both of these movies are great and very fun to watch. I will be very glad once I get this DVD. If your a snake enthusiast, like me you will deffinaly love and cherish these movies. The acting is horribale in both films But they are great!

My son liked it........2005-08-23

My son and I were looking for an educational DVD on Anaconda's. We watched the DVD together...however during the anaconda video it was talking about how anaconda's "mate". Then of course my 6yr old had all sorts of questions about that.
The piranha was alittle graphic for my taste on certain parts.

Educational.......2005-04-07

These videos give a good amount of information on Anacondas and Piranhas. The Anaconda had quite a few parts that you could barely hear the narration due to bad sound editing. But the information was overall pretty good. But if you're looking for an action, monster snake kind'a video go watch some fairytale Hollywood movie.

Sound mix has negative impact on otherwise good film.......2004-02-20

This film was interesting and informative about anacondas. However, the background music and noises were louder than the narration, so an otherwise good documentary became VERY frustrating to watch.

could be better.......2003-05-22

seem like the dvd was rushed the music track drowns the dialogue plus a few sloppy glitches here and there.You'll get to see some anaconda but of course the big ,very big ones are so reclusive and living in such remote areas that we don't get to see any of that.My children enjoyed but they Loved the movie!!!Anaconda.

Anaconda DVD.......2000-07-25

This is a really great documentary on Anacondas. Did you know that an Anaconda can swallow prey 3/4 of their size and over half of their body weight? Or how many predators their actually are that hunt these snakes, big or small? I didn't know any of this either, until I bought this DVD. Now another great DVD to add to my collection. Find out where Anacondas live, what they eat, and a bunch of little facts that can really add up in this great DVD!
