This demon is on our side...

Advantages: Visually Impressive & Action Packed
Disadvantages: Cheesy in places, a little predictable

Hellboy - a big, red, house-trained demon plucked from another dimension, now working for the US government... just in case you didn't know. The original Hellboy film (released back in 2004) had mixed reviews and generally fell into the realms of a 'love-it-or-hate it' type of movie. I personally wasn't particularly enamored with it at first, and only on subsequent viewings did I begin to appreciate its quality. Nowadays, I find it to be an underrated ...

Awful snake film

Advantages: Jennifer Lopez's sexy body
Disadvantages: Poor script and wooden acting

Anaconda is one of those films that failed on its release due to a number of failings. It is probably more famous for being a flop than any other reason. This film is a horror film directed by Luis Llosa, which is about a National Geographic documentary crew who are in search of lost Amazon tribe to film.
