Snakes on a Plane

By now, most of you would have heard of a movie opening next week, titled, "Snakes on a Plane", and if not, well you just did.

When I first hear wind of this movie...well I don't need to tell you what my reaction was. But since that time, the internet has become a buzz of stories, rumours, interviews, send ups, gossip and much much more before the movie is even released!

Here is a quick plot summary to get you into the grove: "Samuel L. Jackson stars in the intense action feature "Snakes on a Plane" from director David Ellis ("Final Destination 2," "Cellular"). Jackson plays an FBI agent who is escorting a witness on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles when an assassin releases hundreds of deadly snakes on a commercial airplane in order to eliminate the witness. The FBI agent, along with a rookie pilot, frightened crew and passengers must then band together in a desperate attempt to survive."

Let me give you 5 reasons why I want to see this film:

1) The title. I mean. Its ridiculous, but gutsy. Who would think to name a movie "Snakes on a Plane". It was rumoured that the director wanted to change the title because, wait for it...... "it gave away the plot".

2) Samuel L. Jackson. The guy rocks. For those who have seen "Deep Blue Sea", who knows what will happen to his character in this film. But I want to see some "Pulp Fiction" Samuel L laying into those snakes. "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers." It even makes sense!

3) The website is cool. http://www.snakesonaplane.com/

4) How many great 'B Grade' movies are there these days? Not many. Everything is so long (King Kong), and over the top (King Kong), and pretentious (King Kong). But give me a 90min, snakes killing people on a plane movie anyday.

5) Did someone say bandwagon?

What are your thoughts? Will you see this film?
