Directed by David R. Ellis. Written by John Heffernan and Sebastian Gutierrez. Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Julianna Margulies, Nathan Phillips, Bobby Cannavale, David Koechner, Elsa Pataky, Flex Alexander, Kenan Thompson, Kevin McNulty, Rachel Blanchard, Todd Louiso and Lin Shaye.
Plot: snakes are released on-board a plane carrying a star witness and the FBI agent protecting him.
Sean (Phillips) witnesses a murder and boards a plane with Agent Neville Flynn (Jackson) to testify. There’s a storm, of course, and the murderer doesn’t want Sean to make it to L.A. so he doses a crate full of venomous snakes with pheromones to make them even deadlier. Then, they are time-released onto the plane and immediately start killing people. Suddenly, it’s up to Flynn, a flight attendent (Margulies), and several passangers to save themselves and each other.
DJ hated that the people in the movie kept saying poison instead of venom. But it really was as realistic as possible. I mean, some of the snakes were obviously fake, but that’s to be expected as well. This was almost 15 years ago now. The cast was good though. It was very funny. There were boob shots. And although they killed the poor little dog, you never really see anything, so it’s a good watch.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.

One thought on “Snakes on a Plane (2006)”
An oldie but a goodie. Or at least so ridiculous it was actually good, and anything with Samuel L Jackson is going to be interesting, if nothing else. I watched this the first time while on a plane over the Pacific Ocean. Luckily I’m not scared of flying or snakes, just crashing and being bitten by a “poisonous” snake ha!
