Snakes On A Plane

Silly, strange, but surprisingly fun. A much better movie than you'd expect, especially when viewed with the pre-release hype as nothing but a distant memory. It didn't change film forever, but you can do worse with two of your hours.

I saw a broken family, lots of drinking, and occasional fighting. And I thought, "Yep...they're Irish." Beyond that, it's becoming painfully clear that the whole 007 thing is getting in the way of Pierce Brosnan having a fine movie career. This is better than any of his Bond movies, and more significant, given its topic (a father fights for custody of his children in 1950s Ireland). There are a few weak points--some telegraphed storytelling, and some predictable and shameless suspense-making--but you find it forgivable.
