Snake Bite - Ten Deadliest Snakes (DVD)

Snakes on a Plane Film Review

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 ...

Review of Snakes On A Plane (DVD)

The snakes are the real stars..??

Advantages: Good start.... and a few comical bits
Disadvantages: everything after the start really

scampi in a basket doesn't it), the so called action tries to show it head?but sadly fails until the last quarter of an hour? although the action from then on is more comical and a little to unrealistic, totally spoiling what could have been a cracking little movie. In all?although the idea of snakes on a plane is technically a sound one it is a shame that it was written with so little enthusiasm.. The first ten to fifteen minutes are quite good and the last fifteen minutes are quite good as well.. but the hour and fifteen minutes in between should never have been allowed to be filmed? with the ending being about as realistic as Manchester City winning the Premiership this season? talk about writers running out of ideas for a genuinely good finale. The all round acting was almost like something you'd see on a cheap 'B' movie and my ...

Snakes on a plane????!!!!

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 ...
