Snakes on a . . . Jet?

After a hard day of spitting wood, we had a delicious dinner and watched . . . Snakes on a Plane. We Tivo'd it a while back, and checked it out from curiosity more that anything else. Frankly, I expected little other that a chuckle or two, but the film delivered a mix of laughter and suspense that surprised me. It was waaay over the top, but that's just what I was in the mood for.

The money line---"I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes . . . " was delivered by style and aplomb by Mr. Samuel Jackson. He seemed to be having fun, and it showed in his performance. It's the kind of movie I could almost hear Mike, Tom Servo, and Crow making snide comments throughout. It ain't Citizen Kane, but it ain't trying to be. And believe me, it's way better than Independence Day! Now that was a dog!
