Snakes on a Plane

How can you possibly ignore a film with this title! You can't, not even if you try really hard. Your either going to hear how much people hated it or loved it, none the less everyone is talking about it. Never mind it's title, how can you not talk about the film's promotional poster that looks like it would feel right at home as a cover to some heavy metal album cover.

Let’s be real about this now, if it wasn't for Samuel L. Jackson this film probably would have gone straight to DVD and would be a Saturday night movie to enjoy with beer and pizza. However it does have Sam Jackson and for that one reason it gets it's place on the largest screen in your local Cineplex even if it's for only a week until it's busted down to one of the smaller screens. When you have Sam Jackson in your film and endorsing it everywhere it goes then it's not possible for this film to fail. When presenting the MTV movie award for this years ‘film of the year’ he announced he would be receiving it next year for this film! I even read that he wore a Snakes on a Plane t-shirt to the Miami Vice premier in L. A. (Shameless, I love it!)

So Friday night comes around I've finished work and I kick off my weekend with Snakes on a Plane. The film's script is bad, the acting is over the top and the CGI is far from perfect. On that note you would think I didn't enjoy it and you would be WRONG!

I LOVED IT! It's so bad; it's brilliant one of the best B-Movies I have ever seen. There are plenty of ridiculous gory deaths from a couple joining the mile high club with an unexpected audience who soon puts a stop to their fun. Then a giant Boa Constrictor who eats a little dog and  an annoying Englishman who on his first appearance you know he's going to meet a horrible end.

Now its common knowledge that Sam loves to swear and is very fond of two words put together the first being "Mother" and the second, well you all know the second. This being a large part of my favorite line in the script when Sam's character FBI agent Neville Flynn takes a stand and says "I've had it with these mother f*****g snakes on this mother f*****g plane!"

Haven't bothered to tell you what the films about as the film's title says it all.

What people may not realize is Snakes on a Plane is very educational as you never know when you may be faced with poisonous snakes. The one important lesson I will take away from this film is......

.....always check the toilet bowl for poisonous snakes before you siphon the python!
