He gave her options, but she remained firm. It wasn’t another man, or a woman for that matter. She could never sufficiently explain to him just how a woman feels. That despite the memories and dreams, and all his promises, that he was still a child, and she, a woman.

Snakes On A Plane

By jelewis8 ⋅ August 22, 2006 ⋅ 2 comments

Snakes On A Plane does not pretend to be a great movie. It does not put on airs, or give itself license to imagine it is great.
