Snakes on a Plane
Beav, Candy and I went to see Snakes on a Plane. We went to the Alamo Drafthouse, the best theater “chain” ever! Unfortunately we went too late to buy some of the Samuel Jackson BadAss Ale (they were sold out 
) But I digress…
The Movie itself:
With a title as cheesy as “Snakes on a Plane” I knew I had to see this movie. I had no expectations for this movie at all. One of the best things about this movie is that it never takes itself too seriously. The movie is pretty much the title. There is a few minutes of setup at the beginning of the film, but the majority of the movie is snakes on a plane. Under seats, coming out of the overhead, in the cargo hold… you get the idea. The movie is a B movie script with an A movie production quality. Sure you can tell that some of the snakes are CGI, but that’s part of it’s cheesy charm.Being the freak that I am, I laughed almost every time a snake bit someone. Also I giggled ever time they used the “snake vision” shots in the film. This movie is fun and goofy, I recommend seeing it, but you might want to go to a matinee.
Little Miss Sunshine
On this past Sunday, Candy and I went to see Little Miss Sunshine. Again we went to the Alamo, our favorite one (the closest one). Candy didn’t think that I would want to go see this movie, but I had heard some pretty good things about it. Again, I didn’t have any expectations going into this movie. I really enjoyed it! It’s a bit tough to describe, the closest thing I could come up with was that it’s somewhat like Vacation crossed with Napoleon Dynamite. A quirky dysfunctional family has to make an approximately 1000 mile trip in two days so the daughter can enter into a beauty contest. Along they way they have various problems and issues that they have to deal with. This is a pretty funny and ultimately cute movie. I’d recommend seeing it, even at full price.
