All we have is snake skin. The 1997 film “Anaconda” was well-made cheese with Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, and Jon Voight in the mix. The snake looked real and CGI at the […]
Anaconda
The Running Man
My money’s on Glen Powell. “The Running Man” is the movie “Jackpot” thought it was going to be but wasn’t. I’m still aggravated that it was a hit on Amazon Prime Video, […]
