SAW III

Filed under S - DVD Movie Club

Ok, one after the other then eh? The third SAW movie just wasn’t up to par with the first two. The acting in some parts was horrible, and I’m usually not super particular about top-notch acting. The woman who played the doctor was a really bad actress and was like freaking out as if she was going to get cut up or something, even though she had no idea that the villains actually cut people up all the time. The ending was great and there were some fantastic booby-traps as usual, but the whole thing just didn’t meet my expectations. Mainly this was because part of the appeal of these movies is that the bad guy always wins and he’s the kind of guy you just love to hate. Well, in this film the bad guy still kind of ‘won’ but not really. I don’t want to give anything else away. Just see it because it’s a SAW movie and when SAW 4 comes out you’ll be lost unless you’ve watched this one.

SAW II

Filed under S - DVD Movie Club

Even though I watched this movie a long time ago, I had to review it now because I also just watched the newly-released-to-DVD “Saw III”, and it’s just not right to review the first and third movie of a trilogy without reviewing the second one too. This film, as a matter of fact, was the best of the three for one simple reason, and that reason is that it has the best traps. Cool traps are an essential part of any movie, and in a SAW film they pretty much make or break it. In fact, I think a SAW movie without traps is like a marathon runner without legs: it’s lame. Haha. Lame, get it? Lame? Because without leg’s you’re… nevermind. So anyway, see this movie, because everyone loves great traps and it’ll give you the sweetest ideas on how to make good traps for all your friends.
