Snakes On A Plane: Review

It had to be <i>snakes</i>: Samuel L. Jackson

No movie could possibly live up to the hype that preceded this prefabricated exploitation thriller, which mashes up classic airplane-disaster-movie tropes — think THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY (1954), ZERO HOUR (1957) or AIRPORT 1975 (1974) — and venomous snakes. Desperate to nail sadistic crime lord Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson), FBI agent Neville Flynn (Samuel L.

And it was a doozy.Watching these episodes en masse also reinforced to me how much more pungent (so to speak) of a suburban social satire Weeds has become than Desperate Housewives, against which I once negatively compared Weeds as a weakly stepsister. (Housewives is better than a year ago, but now seems to me little more than a fun if uneven escapist romp of a soap, minus the first season's more poignant and provocative sting.)What I've appreciated about Weeds in its second season is its confident, unpredictable narrative muscle, which has been flexing since the first-season cliff-hanger, in which we learned that pot-peddling widow Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) had just slept with a DEA agent, Peter (Martin Donovan), who at first seemed... read more
