Anaconda


Principal cast: J-Lo, Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz, Owen Wilson, Danny Trejo and Jon Voight
The Gist: Documentary filmmakers J-Lo and Ice Cube go on a nice little jungle cruise trying to capture rare footage of a tribe (that probably doesn't want to be filmed) but run into Jon Voight, a creepy snake hunter who commandeers their boat to catch big ass snakes.
Year: 1997
Who's Responsible: Colombia Pictures
MPAA Rating: It was one of those dumb PG-13 horror movies
Content: Jon Voight's creepiness is enough to get a PG-13, but there is some bone snapping and regurgitated animals to go along with it
Run time: 90 min
Suggested drinking game: Drink every time 1. Jon Voight leers 2. Ice Cube does/says something ghetto 3. there's a shot of J-Lo's butt 4. something/someone is regurgitated 5. a snake kills someone 6. someone goes into/out of water 7. Owen Wilson is horny 8. anyone calls for "Mateo"
Suggested drink/snack: Snake Bites
Why you should watch it: Jon Voight. The man takes creepy to a whole 'nother level. Be patient and stay for the wink at the end. Plus, the bad CGI snakes are fun to laugh at too.
Why you might want to avoid it: The movie takes a while to get going. The dumb film crew takes forever to figure out what Voight's character is actually doing.
Overall Bad Movie Night rating: B+

Despite its absurdity, the cheesy dialogue, surreal snakes and Voight's over the top performance make this an enjoyable drunken view.
