Snakes on a Plane : 4 of 5
8.20.2006 5:27 PM \| Link	This is a movie that I definitely would have never seen, but my pal Chris talked me into going, and I was already curious about it because of all the internet hype. Mainly because of the silly title and fandom for the ultimate bad-ass Samuel L. Jackson, the web has been buzzing about this movie for almost a year, and all of the attention actually helped change this movie into something pretty amazing - a film actually made for fans! There are so many lines of dialogue and crazy scenes that appear to be lifted right out of someone's wish-list - how else can you explain all the crazy body parts that get bitten by the snakes (both genders get chomped in some tender spots!)? On the day we saw it, all shows for the day had been sold out, and the audience was full of energy, so there was plenty of cheering, even over the opening credits! I was amazed at how much I enjoyed it, and I only closed my eyes a couple of times when the camera lingered a little too long on a gross scene. The rest of the time I was taking turns rooting for the heroes or rooting for the snakes, who do a great job at taking care of jerk characters. The pacing of the movie is really well done, with a nice opening to introduce things, and then a quick jump to excitement when the snakes are released. The ending is hilarious and satisfying, and then the filmmakers were even cool enough to put the music video for the theme song on for the closing credits. Hurray for internet geeks who "created" such a fun movie! Labels: movies
