Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Excellent B-grade movie
The title says it all - its about snakes on a plane and is strictly B-grade. The film boasts nothing so watch it without expecting anything and you'll be in for a thrill ride of your life. I enjoy gory horror flicks on zombies and the like, hence 'Snakes' is clearly my cup of tea. The plot may not be the most airtight, so do not bother to spend time wondering logically how the snakes could have gotten onto the plane. But it is the execution of the film that is great. The snakes look very real and the deaths on each of the victims are carried out with precision and variety. One woman making out with her boyfriend gets bitten on her breasts, another fat lady gets her eye eaten out and a man gets constricted and almost half-swallowed by an anaconda-like huge snake. Its precisely this unabashed embracing of horror and gore that makes this film so enjoyable. Definitely not for the faint-hearted and those expecting Oscar type performances.
Zhong Nan Hai bao biao (1994)
Fun an exciting
This is most commonly noted to be a HK version of 'THe bodyguard' by Kevin Costner, so generally the plot is the same, bodyguard protects rich missus. I think what makes this more entertaining has to be Jet Li himself, who I am a personal fan of. Here he exudes silent charm and charisma that makes his character very 'cool
and aloof at the same time. In the first half of the show, Christy's character hates him, not surprisingly since he is such a pain in her a**. But later on we see the softer side of him when he begins to like Christy's character too. He's character is very shy and uncertain when it comes to dealing with romance, a far cry from the confident and arrogant nature when it comes to his job. Jet Li plays the contrasting natures of the character with ease, you almost feel quite tickled watching Christy's character flirt with him. Overall, not a brilliant show, plot not original at all, but with the entertaining supporting casts as well as Jet Li's presence, makes the show a highly enjoyable one.
