Jenny Woo snake bitten by Snakes on a Plane: Her official drunken review

Ok, first off since my editor decided to torture me by forcing Jenny to go see "Snakes on a Plane" I figured I might as well torture my dog Lexy.  I gotta admit though she looks mighty hot in one of our Gambling911.com shirts.  And while I'm on the subject of our shirts, if anyone is interested in purchasing one contact me and inquire about the purchase of a Gambling911.com shirt here.

Now onto my review of "Snakes on a Plane".  And guess what boys and girls, I'm with most critics here, this film didn't exactly sssssuck!  So yeah, I think it might do pretty good beyond the one weekend opening.

Now on to my review.


Last week my wonderful editor, Chris, told me that he needed me to check out this new movie that was coming out.  When he told me the movie would
be “Snakes on a Plane”, I thought he was joking.  The movie looked so cheesy and when I insisted that my best friend and partner in crime go with me, she thought the same.  It seemed that many thought the same thing by the look of all the empty seats.  Maybe a total of fifty people came give or take a few.  But in all actuality it wasn’t so bad, as a matter of fact it was
good. 

Snakes on a Plane starred Samuel L. Jackson as Nelville Flynn, Julianna
Margulies (ER) as Claire Miller, Rachel Blanchard (Clueless the tv show) as
Mercedes and Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek) as Sean Jones.  You all probably
know the set up and the story, so I won’t repeat it.  I will tell you that
surprisingly it was a jump out of your seat thriller with moments of
humor.   A lot of grotesque computer graphics and some very ugly venomous
snakes.

Samuel L. Jackson was of course one of the hero’s in the film (would you
expect anything else), but so was Nathan Phillips.  I tell you what Nathan
can rescue Jenny anytime he wants.  I got a little jealous when he was
rescuing a cute blonde in the movie, but then again it was only a movie.

Right in front of me was a guy, Joe, who seemed to be enjoying the movie a little more then everyone else.  He was very vocal and always threw his
hands up when someone killed a snake.  I didn’t know if it was more annoying or funny, but either way I had to talk to him.  I asked Joe what he thought about the movie and his response was, “it was like so cool”.  Once he started talking I had to hold in my laughter because he talked as if he had been a stoner all his life.  He looked the part as well.  I asked him how old he was and he told me thirty five.  After getting over my continues
laughter I then asked him what his favorite part was.  He replied, “When the couple went into the bathroom to smoke a joint and then like started f**king but then the snakes totally attacked them.”  That’s as far as I went with him seeing that I couldn’t hold in my laughter any longer.

Now back to the whole reason I went to see this movie.  All of you want to
know how many times Samuel L. Jackson said “Mother F**cker”.  Well he
said “Mother F**ckin three times, mother once and f**ker once. I actually
thought he would never say it seeing that he didn’t say it until the very
end of the movie when he was completely pissed off at the snakes.  So there you have it, my take on this new thrilling movie.

Don’t forget to join me for the FHM/Purple-Lounge Poker Tournament this coming up Thursday.  I’m leaving on Wednesday to fly overnight to Norway. 

I’m really excited and I want all of you there.  Email me here if you have any questions on the tournament or if you want to know how hot these FHM girls really are.

Snakes tops box office

"Snakes on a Plane" slithered to the top of the box office in North America this weekend, bringing in about 15.3 million dollars after months of Internet buzz and aggressive marketing for the movie about killer snakes on a plane.

"Snakes" edged out "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, " which has been at the top of the box office for the last two weeks. The Will Ferrell NASCAR comedy raked in about 14.1 million dollars over the weekend, bringing its total gross to about 114.7 million dollars, according to estimates released by box office tracker Exhibitor Relations on Sunday.

"Snakes on a Plane" had so much pre-opening buzz that studio chiefs and observers believed it could dramatically change the way movies are marketed.

Although "Snakes" was not screened for critics, the movie has received much media attention in recent weeks. The debut was much more modest than many box office trackers predicted.
