Advantages: Erm... Disadvantages: Pretty much everything.
David R. Ellis' Snakes On A Plane is a high-concept film that deliberately attempts to parody the guilty-pleasure, cheese-fest cult classics that many of us love. In other words, the movie-makers have deliberately created a horrible movie. (Yes, it's true, Hollywood really has run out of ideas.)
The title sums up the plot, with Samuel L. Jackson playing his usual willing-to-expect-any-role-offered-to-him self at the forefront. For every random kill from a snake, the ex-Shaft actor spits some hard-edged philosophy that is supposed to motivate the people to come together and overhaul the venomous creatures on board the aircraft ("I've had it with these motherfuckin' snakes on this motherfuckin' plane"). It's a horror/comedy with some uninspiring acting, plenty of cursing, and some horrible CGI effects.
Now, for a man that enjoys the good ...
Advantages: Funny, fast paced Disadvantages: Bit daft in places
Samuel L Jackson stars in this all action film about well obviously some snakes on a plane! But there is a bit more to it than that!
Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips) witnesses a murder by big time mobster Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson) in Hawaii. He is spotted and Kim comes after him. Samuel L Jackson is FBI agent Neville Flynn who has the job of getting Sean from Hawaii to LA in order to testify against the mobster and put him away. Reluctantly and fearing for his life Sean agrees to this.
The FBI think of all possible scenarios of Eddie getting to the witness, but they didn't think of this one. The mobster arranges for numerous deadly snakes to be loaded on to the plane and then sprays pheromones onto the lays which each passenger will be wearing. (The flowers you wear around your neck in Hawaii). The pheromones cause the snakes to be ...
Advantages: An excellent selection of vintage war films, perfect for an avid fan of war films, such as myself. Also ideal for anyone who wants to get a taste of this genre. Disadvantages: May have been better to replace 'The Cruel Sea' with a more classic film such 'The Great Escape' or 'The Guns of Navorone'.
This collection is an excellent selection of vintage war films. Perfect for anyone who enjoys this genre. The Dambuster and The Colditz story are of particular interest to me as they are true stories. Which are portrayed very well in the respective films. The good thing about this being the 'British' war film collection is that there is the absence of the 'american touch'. By this I mean the story hasn't been adapted from the truth in order to satisfy Hollywood. This increases the enjoyment of the war film your a watching as you know what is being showed actually happened. The Cruel Sea is a collaboration of many different seamens experinces during WW2, and shows an excellent portrayal of what these brave men had to endure. However I am a sucker for true stories, so although this story is not unrealistic, i would have preffered ...
