Snakes on a Plane (SOAP) — 45 weeks ago
This movie is exactly what the title says it is. Lots of snakes on a plane. Lots of snake bites and action in this one. Very little gun play or explosions (which is a good thing for an action flick to depart from the norm). The snakes bite everyone and anything they can get their fangs into. Sam and the CGI Snakes are pretty much the only stars of this film, but you might recognize the co-pilot from anchor man (David Koechner). Unless you are a big fan you wont notice Julianna Margulies as the cute and helpful (read sarcastic) stewardess. Sam brings his bad motherfucker wallet into this one.
I am not going to ruin to much about this film, but I will say this. The gay sounding male steward ends up having a girl friend in the end. That is the shock ending of this film. Some nudity and a mile high bathroom scene if you are screening for the kids. Also a baby is put in harms way, and a small child is bitten. A helpful Spanish women sucks the poison out of the small boys arm, but doesn’t bother to help anyone else(they dont show it more like imply it). I know they did it for pacing sakes, this film is very well directed and the pace was kept in high gear all the way.
Not for those that are afraid of snakes. Maybe the best airplane flick of all time. Better than Air Force One, The Airplane movies and everything else.
They should make Chuck Norris movies this good!
