She may have been a newcomer in the late ’90s, but in Anaconda, she demonstrates her ability to be funny, vulnerable and commanding, all at once.

Even with its far-fetched premise, the movie keeps you on the edge of your seat. Thankfully, it still provides that same experience when watching at home. It practically made the popcorn in your bucket spill everywhere as you found yourself laughing too hard or looking away from a goofy, fantastical animatronic snake. Back when the moviegoing experience revolved around, like, actual theaters, Anaconda was precisely the kinda flick you’d agree to watch with your crew.

High stakes! A fun time! Anaconda delivers in action sequences that thrill and might scare younger viewers, but the most precious moments are found in the campy dialogue and the ridiculous speed at which members of Terri’s documentary crew are plucked off and killed. I mean, the whole selling point of the movie is getting to watch scary snakes - described as “the most ferocious and enormous creatures on earth” that grow as long as 40 feet - wreak havoc. Terri ultimately discovers the aforementioned tribe Serone lets up all is well.Īnaconda stands the test of time as a comfort watch. Spoiler alert: If you’re like me and have the attention span of a squirrel - despite the film only being 90 minutes long - just know that the plot revolves around a documentary crew’s excursion through the Amazon jungle as they battle unpredictable weather, venomous snakes and a villainous snake hunter named Serone (Voight), who’s determined to capture one particularly prized anaconda. She shares the screen with Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz, Jon Voight, Jonathan Hyde, Owen Wilson, Kari Wuhrer, Vincent Castellanos and Danny Trejo. In Anaconda, Lopez plays Terri Flores, an acclaimed documentarian intent on finding the Amazon’s mysterious Shirishama tribe. While Anaconda earned J.Lo a 1998 Blockbuster Entertainment Award nomination for favorite actress, it also showcases her brand of charismatic star power, which has seen her lead a slew of subsequent classics, including The Cell, The Wedding Planner, Enough, Maid in Manhattan and Hustlers. When Anaconda became available on Netflix in February, I was elated, absolutely prepared to absorb the one movie from the J.Lo canon I’ve neglected to watch more than once.

She’s been in an enviable portfolio of films, including the camp thriller hit Anaconda, which recently hit Netflix. Yet, there’s no denying J.Lo has an unmatched ability to sell whatever she’s promoting, be it a truly fantastic hit single (“Love Don’t Cost a Thing”) or a fashion line. Some critics attribute her success to her headline-grabbing love life, which, for the record, is rude and sexist, while some naysayers question whether she’d still be famous without her nickname and all the attention paid to her… assets. Since her Golden Globe–nominated performance in 1997’s Selena, she’s managed to maintain a level of relevancy many pop icons wish they could. There are two types of people in the world: haters and those who praise at the altar of Jennifer Lopez. In “The Moment,” Sebastian deep-dives on the scene, actor, person, place or thing that fans will never get over. His only requirement is that whatever he devotes time to is inclusive.
