Rating:  - Ally McBeal almost eaten by Jaws
There - I've said it. The script was written by David E. Kelley, the creator of Ally McBeal. Which means the film's biggest problem is also it's sole saving grace - it's an odd blend of highbrow McBeal-style comedy with B-Grade monster-chomping action.
Bridget Fonda plays the Ally McBeal...no, stuff that, to all intents and purposes she is Ally McBeal. Bill Pullman plays the straight man Park Ranger. Brendan Gleason (aka Mad-Eye Moody from Harry Potter) plays the sarcastic and cynical ... Read More
Rating:  - Lake Placid 5 Star Movie
Lake Placid (Widescreen Edition)
Lake Placid is total Wild the horror subgenre of giant animals running amok, Lake Placid features a giant crocodile that has somehow found its way to an isolated lake in Maine. The absurdity of crocodiles in Maine sets the tone for the entire movie, which has no ambitions beyond mixing a little fright with a little humor. Bridget Fonda (Point of No Return, Jackie Brown) plays a paleontologist sent to investigate a large tooth; Bill Pullman (Independence Day, Lost ... Read More
Rating:  - Worth the 82 minutes
This movie is very good. Maybe I liked this movie because the acting was not bad for this kind of films, and for the very good croc in both its CG and animatronic versions.

Both movies were good but I personally liked more Lake Placid than Anaconda. The movie has its flaws but I'm not going to list the bad things. Good for the ... Read More
Rating: - If "Jaws" were a David E. Kelley comedy...
When "Lake Placid" was first released, I just assumed that it was yet another "Jaws" rip-off and consequently avoided it. It was only later, when I discovered that it was written by David E. Kelley (creator of "The Practice", "Ally McBeal" and "Boston Legal"), that I decided to give it a try. Although it is true that, in principle, "Lake Placid" is a "Jaws" rip-off (substituting a 30 foot crocodile for a shark), to describe it that way is extremely misleading. In fact, "Lake Placid" is a sarcastic comedy ... Read More
Rating: - Lookout Maine, its a giant croc!
I have seen this movie countless times in the past, and I just had to own it. IF you like movies about over-sized carnivorous animals ( Anaconda , Eight-Legged Freaks , Godzilla ) then this is a take-home product for you. Personally I love crocs more than any other giant mutant animal, and the sharp humor and great special effects make this movie very enjoyable. Plus, Oliver Platt is hilarious!
