"Snakes On A Plane" and "Superman Returns"

Dear Constant Reader,

I spent this week watching movies and I wanted to talk about two in particular.
Let's start with "Snakes On A Plane" shall we?
David R. Ellis (who directed the amazing "Cellular") comes back at us with this ludicrous attempt to scare the bejesus out of us. From frame one of this disaster we are treated to Z-grade garbage where the acting is just above community theater.
I expected way more from this silly film if only because David R. Ellis is a good (in my humble opinion) director and Samuel L. Jackson is a great actor. How they chose to involve themselves in this is beyond me.
You would do well to stay as far away from these snakes and that plane as possible.
Onward to "Superman Returns":
Not only did the cast (except for Brandon Routh who is a mediocre Superman) outdo the cast of the original but Bryan Singer outdid himself as a filmmaker.
This was a rock'n'roll comic book adventure of biblical proportions that could not have been easy to even attempt. But attempt it they did and succeed they definately did.
Fly to your nearest store and/or video rental center and join Superman as he flies again.
