Rave all you want about Julia Roberts: superstar, Oscar winner, self-appointed god. It's her brother, Eric, who has the more interesting career.

Mega Python vs. Gatoroid

Most of the creatures on tap in "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" are CGI creations, yet the filmmakers didn't even bother to insert them in the parts of the frame where the actors were looking.

Camel Spiders is no Arachnophobia, but it does try to be anything but the cheap creature feature that it is. Like the recent Sharktopus and Dinoshark, it’s another science-gone-wrong pic from producer Roger Corman, and even my 6-year-old son was able to recognize one of the man’s filmmaking tenets from scene one: "Already action already!"
