This sequel’s only achievement is that it’s so stupidly plotted and badly acted, it becomes unintentionally funny here and there. The follow-up to the 1997 action hit “Anaconda” tracks an expedition in the jungles of Borneo that stumbles into mating season for monstrously large, ravenous snakes, which have a taste for swallowing humans whole. Director Dwight Little musters no suspense or chills, the anacondas are not remotely scary, and the action and stunts are lame. The wooden cast includes Morris Chestnut. Rated: PG-13 for action violence, scary images and some language. Running time: 93 minutes. Rating: 1 1/2 out of 4 stars.

‘Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2′
This is just a bad, boring, lifeless comedy that should have gone straight to video. Only the youngest of kids will like it, and they’d probably enjoy it just as much if it was played backward. “Superbabies” is directed by Bob Clark, who made the original “Baby Geniuses” in 1999 and directed the superb “A Christmas Story” from 1983, a film that had warmth, bite and a real sense of childlike humor and wonder. “Superbabies” is just an attempt to make a few bucks. Rated; PG, for action violence and rude humor. Running time: 90 minutes. Rating: 1 1/2 out of 4 stars.
