For what seems like about five years at this point, the Internet has been abuzz with news of Snakes on a Plane, which is perhaps the most literal and serendipitous film name ever devised. The name, coupled with Samuel L. Jackson's involvement with the project, took what sounded like a Sci Fi Original Movie and turned it into an online sensation that just might change the way films are made and marketed in Hollywood.
At this point, the story of Snakes is well-documented; marketing books have already been written on the subject. New Line, the studio responsible for green-lighting and marketing the film, did the unthinkable: they listened to the enormous Internet outpouring. Since the fan community was clamoring for a more adult film than the studio was planning, they went back and re-shot scenes for Snakes, adding profanity and nudity throughout. The marketing of the film also relied heavily on the fan voice. Bloggers were mobilized to promote Snakes, and soon the online hype was ubiquitous.
Heading into the screening, it was difficult to imagine that the movie would deliver on the monumental Snakes on a Plane build-up. But it does. The film succeeds in every way it sets out to: it is at turns an intense thrill ride, a hilarious comedy, and a truly gory horror film. Sure, it's coated in a sheen of camp, but who could expect anything less?
Snakes is a right brilliant game for the N-Gage. Not just because of its price point -- which is certainly unbeatable -- but also because it's easy to share with friends and exploit the multiplayer capabilities of the system. But its also offers the kind of bite-sized gaming people have come to expect from cellphone games. Yes, the N-Gage is not branded just as a cellphone, but with the presence of a SIM card and number buttons, well, what do you expect. Perhaps Nokia has hit on a winning formula here -- alongside the console ports, a selection of N-Gage exclusive downloads that can be enjoyed in flash gaming sessions.
If you own an N-Gage and haven't downloaded Snakes yet, hustle over to Nokia's website and nab it. Then clear out the next hour of your day, because you'll find this game wraps itself around you like few other N-Gage titles.
Unable to assassinate a witness to a murder through more conventional means, Eddie Kim arranges for a crate of venomous snakes to be placed on the plane the witness is being transported on. The latch opens at the appropriate time, cue one of Samuel Jackson's most memetic lines.
The film was written by David Dalessandro, John Heffernan, and Sebastian Gutierrez and follows the events of dozens of venomous snakes being released on a passenger plane in an attempt to kill a trial witness.
