Kristine said some people wanted my review of ‘Snakes On A Plane’, so here ya go. First, let me say that this might be the greatest idea for a movie EVER. Certainly one of the best titles (personal favorite title ever is “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, but that’s another post). The internet hype for this movie was absolute genius. The producers also refused to allow critics to preview the movie. Oh, and I love love love Samuel L. Jackson. OK, now that all of thats out of the way…….(oh, for those of you who don’t know me, the previous paragraph is actually how I talk. Part stream of consciousness, part just rambling. Send Kristine your sympathies)……<\/p>\n

As weird as it sounds, this movie wasn’t bad enough for me. For a movie intentionally campy and over-the-top, I thought it could have been worse, which would have made it better. But as far as stupid and fun, bullseye. Snakes bite boobs, crotches, eye-sockets, tongues. Samuel L.Jackson cusses. There are plot holes bigger than the plane itself. To me, though, it just got redundantly bad. It definitely had it’s moments, but I was a little disappointed. If you don’t mind stupidity, catch a matinee. Otherwise, it’ll make a fine DVD addition in a few months.<\/p>\n

On a side note, seeing this in a theater of teenagers was awesome, better than the movie itself. They cheered and laughed and applauded, like this was going to be the movie that defined this generation. I can’t remember hearing a crowd scream louder than the soon-to-be-classic Samuel L Jackson line:<\/p>\n

“I’ve had ENOUGH of these mother fucking snakes on THIS mother fucking plane!! Everyone strap in….I’m opening windows!!!”<\/p>\n

Seriously, can ANYONE else pull off that line? Nope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
