Anaconda (1997)
Jul 5, 2004Giant Snake
A film crew in the Amazon headed by Jennifer Lopez encounter a giant snake. Mounted as a CGI monster movie in the aftermath of Jurassic Park, this has scripting that frequently descends into the ludicrous
Jennifer Lopez
Antz (1998)
Jun 11, 1999Animation/Talking Ants
The first animated film from DreamWorks, a rather charming effort that takes place in an ant nest with Woody Allen perfectly voice cast as a nebbish ant who decides to defy the crowd
The Cell (2000)
Aug 18, 2000Journey Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer
The dreamscape film was given extraordinary life by Tarsem Singh in his directorial debut who transforms a fairly ordinary script with visuals and costuming that is out of this world
Enough (2002)
Nov 1, 2002Abusive Husband Psycho-Thriller
Thriller about an abused wife standing up to take the law into her own hands against her husband. This has its credibility shot out by being made as a Jennifer Lopez film who does not seem to want taint the glamour of her image by seeming battered
Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)
Jul 20, 2012Animation/Prehistoric Talking Animals
This is not a film, it is a money-making machine in the guise of a film aimed squarely at undiscerning family audiences that plays to familiar characters and comic routines and has minimal difference to the preceding three Ice Age films
Home (2015)
Apr 4, 2015Animation/Alien Visitors Comedy

The Boy Next Door (2015)
Jan 25, 2015Stalker Thriller
A cougar version of Fatal Attraction with Jennifer Lopez stalked by a teenage boy. On every level this invites ridicule, from J-Lo sleepwalking through her performance to a director who has never made a good film to a script detached from human psychology
Ice Age: Collision Course (2016)
Sep 9, 2016Animation/Prehistoric Talking Animals
I hate the Ice Age films and their tediously extruded adventures. The opening sequence here and its ignorance of even basic science is the most inane thing in the entire series
Atlas (2024)
Nov 29, 2024War with the Machines
The idea of Jennifer Lopez in a transformer suit kicking robot ass has an outlandishness to it. The surprise is that this is a really good, well written SF film of planetary survival
Anaconda (2025)
Feb 13, 2026Comedy Remake of Anaconda
Anaconda was a CGI monster movie that has subsequently gained a bad movie reputation. The idea of a comedy remake about conducting a remake of the film just seems a little too cutely meta
