Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
[Movie Reviews]  The original 1997 "Anaconda" was a somewhat entertaining B movie.  It's famous for helping to launch the career of Jennifer Lopez, who is now better known as the overspending, over promoted J-Lo.  If one big ass snake was scary, then multiple big ass snakes should be even scarier.  That seems to be the thinking behind "Anacondas".  Does the premise work?

The Passion of the Christ
