I was about to write a note on Snakes on a Plane, when I saw Jed mentioned it on his blog. So I basically wrote the review I had in mind as comment to his blog and reproduced it here...skip this if you already saw it on Jed's Blog.

**********

I saw Snakes on a Plane late Friday afternoon in Westwood, expecting a packed house of rowdy UCLA students. Instead, there were only about 40 of us in the theater....but the people in attendance were boisterous...this is definitely *not* a movie to see on DVD. The best part for me was the audience interaction...especially when Samuel Jackson utters his bound-to-be-a-classic line, "I have had it with these motherf--ing snakes on this mother--fing plane!" (Or as a reviewer more delicately put it, "an oedipal expletive.") The small crowd went absolutely nuts for that line, probably in part because most of us had recently heard Mr. Jackson say it on The Daily Show.

Anyway, I would say Snakes on a Plane was original and entertaining and funny and far better than the typical horror movie. It was also absurd, over-the-top, and had a great deal of gratuitous violence and stereotypes, all of which combines to make it one of the best bad movies I have ever seen.
