Saw V (2008)

Saw V

I thought for a bit that this installment of the series was going to be better than the last. I was wrong. They are getting more and more predictable and less and less interesting. I keep watching them because I think, maybe, just maybe they will eventually do something interesting... nope. And now, they have even managed to remove the element of twisted "justice". Stop making these films. This is a Feeling Minnesota.

Religulous (2008)

"If you belonged to a political party or a social club that was tied to as much bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, violence, and sheer ignorance as religion is, you'd resign in protest."

"Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don't have all the answers to think that they do."

"The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt. Doubt is humble, and that's what man needs to be considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong."

This film is beautiful. Great soundtrack. Funny, thought-provoking, and a pleasure to watch. Thank you Bill Maher, for saying what all the rational people of the world think.

Taken (2008)

Taken

The Good:
I loved the action in this film and some part of you will definitely allow you to believe even the unbelievable in the film. The motivation of a father trying to get his daughter back is strong enough to overlook some minor problem.
The acting is good.
The plot progression is good.
The tense feel of the film is quite good.
The camera work is well-done.

The Bad:
Ok, there was nothing particularly unpredictable in the movie.

Overall: I really enjoyed this film, Ransom with a bad attitude. There isn't much to give away about it either. Watch the preview below, if you think you would enjoy the movie you will, if you think it doesn't look that great, then you won't like it. It is what I have longed to see in a kidnapping film... though honestly, I think t has been done before.

Saw IV (2007)

Saw IV

The Good:
Hmmm... nope.

The Bad:
The plot.
The acting.
The idea.
Wow, predictable.

Overall: I have never been a big fan of this series. The first film was semi-original, if unbelievable and stupid. The second film was a little better than the first(aside from the acting). This one is just plain bad (I give this film 2 Fargos). And I don't care to remember the other films enough for it to be interesting. Why do I keep watching these films?!?! Who am I kidding... I like the punishment. ;-)
