New Movie Reviews: Snakes on a Plane, Illusionist, and Accepted
If it weren't for an inordinate amount of Internet buzz, Snakes on a Plane, might not have much going for it at all. A truly campy, B-flick from the title on down, Snakes on a Plane delivers some very laughable moments. If you've been waiting anxiously to hear Samuel L. Jackson yell that already-classic line, this weekend's your chance. Also in theaters this week is The Illusionist - even a fantastic cast can't keep this film about the con of magic from ultimately being "a tepid murder mystery filled with rich, polished images"; Accepted - this charming and exuberant teen comedy is a hilarious (and fairly absurd) surprise that's full of heart; and Factotum - this adaptation of Charles Bukowski's lurid stories is more a "study of minimalist mood" rather than a tale of utter despair. Be sure to catch reviews of other recent Theatrical Films: World Trade Center, Pulse, Step Up, Zoom, The Descent, The Night Listener, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Barnyard, Miami Vice, Clerks II. As always, we invite you to share your thoughts on films in theaters in our Movie Talk Forum Area.
