In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.

Example input: plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !

Q: midway through " anaconda " , documentary filmmaker terri flores ( jennifer lopez ) turns to a co - worker and says " i thought this movie would be my first big break .
instead , it 's turned into a disaster .
" truer words have never been spoken .
" anaconda " is a monster movie with a lousy monster .
it 's a suspense film that is utterly predictable .
it 's a mess the film does manage to drum up some scares , but only in the most elementary way , like a jack - in - the - box .
as you turn the crank , you 're totally aware that the damn clown is going to pop up , but somehow it 's still mildly startling when it happens .
the main difference between the giant snake in " anaconda " and the clown in a jack - in - the - box is that the clown is more realistic .
" anaconda " boasts some of the worst special effects to appear onscreen in years .
animatronic shots of the snake look as phony as any of those cringe- inducing robots
you 've endured at disney world .
but it 's the computer animated scenes that truly expand the meaning of the word lame .
in one shot , a character tries to flee from the monster by diving from a tree near a waterfall , but the giant snake springs out and loops around its hapless victim in mid air .
the scene , if done well , would have been a jaw- dropper . here , the horribly bad digital effects look less convincing than a saturday morning cartoon .
what 's really amazing is that the filmmaker 's were so proud of this dreadful shot that they actually included it in the promotional trailers for the movie .
but enough about the phony snakes .
now it 's time to talk about the lousy story
.
heroic and very pale anthropologist eric stoltz leads a documentary film crew down a brazilian river in search of the shirishama indians , a legendary tribe that supposedly lives in the boondocks of the rain forest .
stoltz tells his crew " pray that you did n't forget your bug spray .
"
apparently the female crew members bathed in the stuff , because they spend most of the film wearing skimpy tops and short shorts with no ill effect .
along the way , the group rescues a whacked - out lapsed priest ( jon voight ) who claims to know how to find the shirishama .
within minutes , they throw away all their plans and follow voight down a tributary into the land of creepiness .
from that point on , the film is a hodgepodge of scenes and shots ripped off from " jaws " and " dead calm .
"
one of the oddest structural points of the film is the handling of eric stoltz .
early in the story , his character gets knocked into a coma by a river insect and spends virtually the rest of the movie unconscious .
so why did they hire an actor of the caliber of stoltz for what amounts to a cameo appearance ?
also , why did stoltz , who generally selects his roles with great care , agree to appear in this crap ?
ah , the mysteries of hollywood .
the remaining crew members are basically just snake food waiting to happen .
jonathan hyde is mildly diverting as a pompous englishman hired to narrate the documentary , but lopez and ice cube manage to rise above their cardboard characters .
lopez , who starred in " selena , " is an enormously appealing performer , possessing a vibrancy that makes even the most trite lines seem credible .
ice cube has a special charisma ; an ability to look like a macho adult and a frightened boy simultaneously .
there 's also a special twinkle in his eyes , as if he 's gently mocking his own tough - guy posturing .
but the movie really centers around the outrageously hammy performance of jon voight .
obsessed with capturing one of the giant anacondas , voight plays the villain in thick accent , with a series of leers and hisses , spouting the kind of dialogue usually heard only in episodes of " jonny quest .
"
at one point , he looms over the crew and says " the anaconda is the perfect killing machine .
it strikes , wraps around you , holds you tighter than your true love .
and you get the privilege of hearing your bones break before the power of its embrace causes your veins to explode .
"
that moment is so high - camp that it almost made the film tolerable .
almost . fans of the horror genre may be tempted to check out " anaconda .
" do n't .
there are a lots of horror films scheduled for release this summer , including another " alien " sequel .
wait for them , rent " jaws " in the meantime , and do n't throw away your money and time on drivel like this .
