That's it! I've had it with these mother #*@&$* snakes, on this mother !*#@($ plane! Man, Sam Jackson rocks so hard, I bet he could beat Chuck Norris in a fight. Snakes on a Plane, what is it? Well, I'm still trying to figure that out. It's genre classification is impossible, being part gross-out horror, part comedy, and part spoof. The movie constantly takes itself seriously, but there are so many moments that are so outrageous or funny that you know there's no way they could be serious about it.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this movie. Maybe because my sights were set so low coming into it. I have to admit, they set up the story very well. It wasn't just snakes on a plane (literally, I love it!) but there was a reason for the snakes being on the plane, and they executed this nicely. This isn't Hollywood's most epic story mind you, but they did think it through, and leads the viewer along.

Sam Jackson is in this movie strictly to own some snake tail, and he does so in spades. He wastes so many snakes, it's out of control. He's hardcore, and I loved every bit of it. Hundreds of snakes on that friggin plane, and they all have to fight them off! Make, I want to fight a snake right now. I wouldn't own those snakes nearly as cool as Sam Jackson did though. He can make a snake explode from his tough guy rays that he emits from under his obligatory leather coat.

How can I comment on the acting? There really is only one actor in this film, and I don't need to mention him again (here's a hint, he owns.) The computer effects weren't too bad, but the snakes were very well done. they were animated beautifully, and create a very believable enemy.

Ok, so this review was written very cheesy with a hint of satire. This is exactly how this movie feels, and I love it. Be ready for a cheese fest, a solid film that feels like a glorified B-movie. And like a B-movie, theres tons of ridiculous gore, some harsh languag, and "inclusions of private parts" if you will. If you can get past those types of things, then go ahead and see this movie, make a judgement for yourself. I can see this movie ending up as a cult favorite on the internet, it's allready on it's way.

Next time you're in an aircraft, just be ready. when the snakes come slithering, you too will get tired of the mother *#*#(@s.

The movie has made me look at Airplane Bathrooms at a whole new level.

And the music video at the end is pretty catchy too(I want to so bang-bang that girl in the group)

You forgot about Kenan Thompson, man! Right next to Sam "MotherF&#$@n" Jackson, Kenan takes the spotlight at various times. Comic relief. Ah, like the movie needed anymore Veryhappy

Will there be a Snakes on a Plane 2? Unlikely.

But Spiders in the Water? Ducks on a Truck? Fleas on a Tree? I see coming soon...

Gah! I saw this movie the other night with my friend (see the Sean Callahan Video Diaries. Episode 2 is out now btw!!!) and It's really hard for me to make up my mind. I'd have to say, besides Scoop, it was the best of the summer movies. But it still sucked pretty hard, which tells you what I thought of Superman and Pirates. I'm a bit too harsh I know but Ive seen too many actual quality films to be fooled by all the awesome CGI and big names. Sure Sam Jackson was hilarious, but he's no Clint Eastwood!

Man, I didn't find her attractive at all. She looks anorexic, and moves around like she's having seizures when she dances. The song was catchy tho, I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't listening to the song right now.

And yes, Kenan should have been mentioned. He was hilarious, and ever since the classic days of watching him in All That, I always look forward to his comic relief in movies. He did have agreat part in this movie.

Anchormoth, look at it this way. Just view the movie as a completely non-serious movie that wasn't trying to fight for the best movie spotlight. It's just a fun movie that wasn't trying to propell itself forward with flashy CG and big names. It's snakes on a plane for fricks sake!

I really want to see this movie, just because Samuel L. Jackson is in it. Perhaps a shallow reason, but it's good enough for me. Seriously though, I enjoyed Anaconda, so I should love Snakes on a Plane.

Shallow reason? No, trust me. It's more than enough reason. You'll love it.

Sam makes any movie rock. He made Deep Blue Sea sort of bearable.

Here's a movie idea that would get the blogosphere rolling...


Chuck Norris agreed to do a film with Samuel L. Jackson about a renegade outlaw in a jungle full of...you guessed it, Zombies.


Can you imagine? Who kicks more butt? Chuck or Sam Jackson? It'd be the battle of the century!

Jericho, that movie would be so full of macho-ness that I think the cameras filming it would probably explode, this just seconds before the earth crumbles apart. If only they could capture it, yes, it would be the greatest of all time.

Ever use a spork and have it break? When it shatters, the thing is a dang weapon, ready to stab.

Ok, the usage of sporks are now retired.

So, how about doilies? Those are funny sounding, and potentially dangerous.
