* Dave: "That Old Feeling" (Universal Home Video, rated PG-13) Rather than waste your time explaining the plot of "That Old Feeling," we would rather recommend some romantic comedies that are actually worthy of your time and money.
Sure, we could take a second and mention that Bette Midler and Dennis Farina are a divorced couple who, while at their child's wedding, rediscover lost feelings for each other. They embark on a second 24-hour whirlwind romance, recapturing the magic they had when they first met, until they discover they still hate each other.
We could also mention that the director of the movie, TV legend Carl Reiner, couldn't save this movie, which belongs in the landfill. Like I said, we're not going to waste your ... oops.
"That Old Feeling" gets a D.
* Jeff: "Anaconda" (Columbia Home Video, rated PG-13) A documentary film crew journeys deep into the Amazon to capture on film a lost and hidden tribe of the jungle. They get more than they bargain for when a giant anaconda snake picks off the filmmakers one by one.
Their only chance for survival is a poacher played by Jon Voight -- doing his best Marlon Brando impression -- who wants to capture the giant snake and make a big profit. With breathtaking cinematography and exotic locations, and a magnificent combination of live action/and computer special effects, "Anaconda" is a good old-fashioned, entertaining, bone-snapping, snake-swallowing-people-whole monster movie. (Keep an eye out for the winking scene). It will take your breath away.
"Anaconda" gets an A.
