Past Primenew
This movie should have been about something more than an older woman digging on a younger man, much to the disapproval of the younger man's mom.

Aw Nutsnew
This is a thriller sans kick, a snapshot of obsession that's less about the risks one takes for true love than it is about the dumb chances one takes when stifled and bored and game for any sort of excitement.

A PG-13 Rating Suffocates the Funnew
As the title suggests, there are more snakes now than there were in 1997's Anaconda, but the filmmakers just don't seem to have the same deranged imagination as those who came before.
