Movie's like these require low expectations. I had such for Independence Day, and though I wasn't blown away, I wasn't disappointed either. Same is to be said about 'Snakes on a Plane.' The title didn't lie, there's not much more to this movie other than a pane and a whole bunch of poisonous snakes on board. Of course there is also Samuel Jackson. I enjoyed it very much and felt that there was nothing there below what I expected, and there was even some parts that I thought clever. Point is, if you pick up this movie, and your IQ is above 15 then you should probably know what you are getting in to. And you get it - in Spades. I found it a really cool, fun way to enjoy a movie. It didn't require much thought, just reaction. I think we all need that kind of a movie here and there just like we all need some junk food from time to time. Can't wait for the sequel, 'Snakes on a Train' where I hear they'll have an Anaconda the length of three train cars!

It wasn't quite Shawshank Redemption, but I am sure if Morgan Freeman was narrating over it, then it would have been close.

There's no way to write a review after only one viewing. Not for us who aren't British at least. I needed the subtitles on just to catch every fast and funny quip Ben K. passed by. But the second time, when I knew what to expect, and the plot could be put as a backdrop behind the incredible emotion of Kingsley. Wow! It's been said and needs to be said again. Regardless as how you feel about movies as a whole. If you want to witness some theatrical acting, go no further. A real David Mamet esquire script helped I'm sure but the acting across the board was finely done and shot. Just don't expect it to be a plot thing with twists and turns. Enjoy how it is an exposition on how people are actually capable of speaking to each other beyond the line. If gives you the same feeling as when you watch Glengary Glenross. It almost makes you want to start talking dirty to loved ones, just because it sounds cool. Worth renting, and if you're like me, worth buying.

This movie is very cool if you like alternative, angst ridden teenagers trying to do good. The title is awfully deceptive because there is nothing illegitimate about the "older guy - younger girl" relationship at all - here's a short synopsis: Alternative goth chick meets conservative store manager. Neither of them have a life outside of work so they slowly learn to hang out together. The rest kind of falls into place as they see how "the other half" lives, and make each other better people. Great movie to watch with your parents (no drugs or sex) and sweet for an pick-me-up kind of movie. The soundtrack is cool too - it has the great older tunes like Sinatra and such - along with some Marilyn Manson and then some reggae as well.
