Snakes!

soapdvd.jpg Snakes on a Plane is finally out on DVD and we have two copies at the library! What is "Snakes on a Plane" about, you ask? Um... It is about snakes being on a plane. Okay, there's a little more to it than that. A guy witnesses a murder and is set to testify against the deadly assassin who committed it, so he has a police escort (Samuel Jackson) accompany him on the plane ride to the trial. But, the deadly assassin has other plans for this witness: a plane full of snakes!

This film (yes, I will refer to it as a "film") got a lot of internet hype prior to its release last summer, due to descriptive nature of its title. Can you imagine if other films took this title format? Some ideas:

Titanic = A Big Boat Sinks
The Shining = Guy Goes Crazy While Watching an Empty Hotel in the Middle of Winter
Back to the Future = Guy in a Vest Travels Through Time
Groundhog Day = A Guy Lives the Same Day Over and Over Again
Charlotte's Web = A Pig and Spider Become Friends: Crazy!
