5.0 out of 5 stars Intensive documentary, June 1, 2008

Snakes on a Plane (Widescreen New Line Platinum Series)

I love edgy stuff, but I hate canned entertainment like the extreme sport show on TV. This documentary is exactly what I love - edgy, intense, but without the pretense. People who are feared of snakes or love snakes should watch this interesting documentary about this Thai village's dangerous engagement with the cobras. Beyond entertaining, I think the doc is also very informative on the creature and cultural background in Thailand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Docu!, August 7, 2007

By	Lola (New York) - See all my reviews

I saw this documentary at the Rooftop Film Festival in New York last summer and thought it was amazing! I was alternately rolling in my seat with laughter and sitting at the edge in suspense! I can't beilieve the people in this small Thai village live such an unusual and dangerous life and Tom Tavee captures it so vividly, I felt like I was there in the audience watching first hand! So glad it's available on DVD!

I was lucky to see this documentary when it showed at an indy film festival. It was totally fantastic and riveting. Kept me at the edge of my seat. The film work was genius. It made you feel like you were there. I am soooooo excited it's finally been released on DVD
