humanities quest for knowledge never ends .
so a team of scientists and film - makers travel to the amazon to search for a legendary indian tribe .
the party consists of anthropologist steven cale ( eric stoltz ) and the camera team consisting of terri flores ( jennifer lopez ) , danny rich ( ice cube ) , gary dixon ( owen wilson ) , denise kahlberg ( kari wuhrer ) and warren westridge ( jonathan hyde ) .
early on their journey they meet paul sarone ( jon voight ) whose boat is stuck on the shore .
they agree to give him a ride to the next village .
he claims to know the area well and can be useful locating the native tribe .
very soon their friendliness backfires on the group because sarone turns out to be a snake hunter without scruples who only wants to catch a giant anaconda and sell it to a zoo .
we do n't have to wait too long for the giant snake .
she just had a panther hors d'oevre and now is looking for the main course .
our heroes paddle around in the amazonas as if it were the pool in their own backyard .
no wonder giant animals mistake their splashing for a dinner bell .
our anaconda is a polite one and swallows the first victim in one big gulp .
enjoy !
so much for the first attempt to catch her .
but who would want to catch a giant snake with a fishing pole ?
our villain sarone shows his soft side when he stops terri from shooting the snake . too bad that anaconda is just about to strangle another member of the expedition .
one by one she goes after the others .
eric stoltz is stung by a giant wasp right in the beginning and is mercifully unconcious for the rest of the adventure .
the rest of the crew keeps entertaining the viewer although not the way the makers of the movie had planned .
however the scenes without the anaconda are rather boring .
whenever the leading lady shows up we 're in for a laugh .
the snake reminds us of a favorite character of a famous animated movie even if she should be an awe - inspiring monster .
her attacks always follow the same plan : one last hypnotic look - she 's looking at you , kid - then she speedily wraps herself around her victim and starts to gush it down .
mostly we do n't see the act of devouring .
but she looks nice when she wiggles away with her bulging middle part . whoever did the special effects on this movie may have wanted to go to a zoo first and study some real snakes .
maybe then the anaconda model would have looked more real .
the animatronics are somewhat more believable .
but that did n't work for the strangling scenes .
do n't go see the movie for the f / x .
they are everything but up - to - date .
the viewer who likes to watch the end credits will see to his / her surprise that a snake expert was a consultant for the team .
we may doubt though that he has ever seen the final result of his work .
a well known american science magazine is also mentioned in the credits , but i will refrain from naming it here to avoid further damage to its reputation .
the majority of viewer will have left the theater as soon as the credits start rolling , anyway .
what kind of audience is the target group for this movie ?
hard to say .
this ca n't be a serious horror movie , or can it ? see for yourself .

when i originally saw the trailer for " analyze this " a few months ago , i must admit ,
i thought it looked kind of lame .
and then when the commercials started popping up a week or two ago , i thought it looked outright bad
.
but then when " analyze this " finally opened a few days ago , an odd thing happened .
it got great reviews .
critics were proclaiming it " hilarious " and a " dead - on parody of mob movies " .
well , with praise like that , i figured , it must be good
and so i headed off to the theater .
you know that expression that says always trust your gut instincts ?
well , turns out that expression is more valid than i ever gave it credit for .
" analyze this " is slow , unfunny , and badly acted .
do n't get me wrong , i think that deniro is one of the top ten greatest actors of the century , but he is just out of his league here .
i think the problem is he did n't quite know how to approach this material .
he plays his character , mob boss paull vitti , somewhere in between the realm of comedy and drama . if he had played the character straight , along the lines of leslie nielson in the " naked gun " series , he probably would have been a lot more successful .
as it is , though , he plays the character completely serious at some moments , and for laughs at others .
this does n't work .
it creates an uneven character that never breaks out of the deniro mold ; you always know it 's him . and the movie is badly paced , too .
it never takes off .
it just crawls from one scene to another without any forward momentum .
i think the blame for this should be placed on the script .
it 's obvious the writer had a good idea for a movie , mob boss faces breakdown and needs the services of a psychiatrist , but once this is established , the movie does n't really go anywhere .
the formula of the film seems to be this : billy crystal says no to deniro , deniro forces him , and much wackiness ensues .
this formula of sorts is repeated several times throughout the movie .
i 've said it before and i 'll say it again : the only thing that matters to me in a comedy is whether or not it 's funny .
if " analyze this " had been funny , the pacing and bad acting would n't have bothered me .
i would have been too busy laughing to notice .
but as it is , i only chuckled a few times .
the only really funny scene is a dead - on parody of " the godfather " .
sadly , though , i do n't think anyone in the audience i saw it with realized it was a parody , because i was the only one laughing .
but my sense of humour , i have come to realize , is vastly different from the general population .
i loathed " there 's something about mary " , yet loved " baseketball " .
now , if you want a movie that * i * think is funny , go out and see " office space " .
it 's full of genuine laughs and wo n't leave you glancing at your watch every 10 minutes , as " analyze this " did .

so ask yourself what " 8 mm " ( " eight millimeter " ) is really all about .
is it about a wholesome surveillance man who loses sight of his values after becoming enmeshed in the seedy , sleazy underworld of hardcore pornography ?
is it about the business itself ,
how , bubbling just beneath the surface of big - town americana , there 's a sordid world of sick and depraved people who wo n't necessarily stop short of murder in order to satisfy their sick and twisted desires ?
or is it about those who can , those who are in a position to influence the making of the kinds of films sick and demented people want to see ?
i 'm not talking about snuff films , supposed " documentaries " of victims being brutalized and killed on camera .
i 'm talking about films like " 8 mm " and its director , joel schumacher .
with a recent run of big budget movies to his credit-- " batman & robin , " " a time to kill , " " batman forever , " " the client
" --schumacher certainly has that kind of influence .
is " 8 mm " something you really want to see ? probably not .
the first two - thirds of " 8 mm " unwind as a fairly conventional missing persons drama , albeit with a particularly unsavory core .
then , as it 's been threatening all along , the film explodes into violence .
and just when you think it 's finally over , schumacher tags on a ridiculous self - righteous finale that drags the whole unpleasant experience down even further . trust me .
there are better ways to waste two hours of your life .
nicolas ' " snake eyes " ' cage plays private investigator tom welles who is hired by a wealthy philadelphia widow to determine whether a reel of film found in her late husband 's safe documents a young girl 's murder .
welles goes about his assignment rather matter - of - factly , and the pieces of the puzzle fall into place rather neatly , almost as if you do n't need any specialized skills or training to do this .
welles certainly makes it look easy .
and cops , obviously , never look in toilet tanks for clues .
the deeper welles digs into his investigation the more obsessed he becomes , like george c .
scott in paul schrader 's " hardcore .
"
occasionally , a little flickering sound whirs in his head like sprockets winding through a film projector , reminding him of his unpleasant task .
there are hints that this is taking its toll on his lovely wife , played by catherine keener , who is frustrated by her husband spending all of his time in cleveland rather than in their ugly split - level home in harrisburg , pa .
"
8 mm " does n't condemn or condone its subject matter , it just exploits it .
the irony , of course , is that schumacher and " seven " scribe andrew kevin walker 's vision of life in the snuff lane is limited by what they can show in an r - rated , first - run hollywood product .
so we only see snippets of snuff , and a lot more footage of nicolas cage covering his face in horror .
later it 's the turn of joaquin phoenix ( who 's quite good and by far the film 's most interesting character as adult bookstore flunky max california ) to cover his face as the horrid thing is screened over and over again .
all this to get to the familiar yet offensive " revelation " that sexual deviants are not , indeed , monsters but everyday people like you and me .
neither super nor standard , " 8 mm " is shocking only in its banality .
