SAW

[roguem]

Went to the cinema with JC, Sol and HC on Sunday. "Saw" ended up as the Halloween movie.

I really liked it! I must admit that it was kind of slow going in the beginning, but it picked seriously up! It has kind of a Se7en'ish feel to it, dark and gritty. It's not trying to be in-your-face-gory, but was playing more with the psyche.
It's always weird to see Cary Elwes in a serious role. JC thought he over-acted, but I thought he did a good job.
Been online and had a look, many people have opinions on this film. Sure, I could tear it to pieces, but I liked the idea and how it was realized. Go watch it and make up your own mind!

Am going home in 2 days! Am going home in 2 days! Am going home in 2 days!
Am going slightly stir-crazy, played a round of cards yesterday, was going crazy at school coz a minute felt like an hour... today wasn't so bad. Tomorrow we're filming, Thursday is going to go on forever until I finally get on the plane home!
Am going home in 2 days! Am going home in 2 days! Am going home in 2 days!

Hehe, yeah forgot about the mom, yeah, I would so have been shooting if I were her. In the legs of course, so I could ask questions.
I really hate the idea of a sequel, kind of ruins the geniuos of the first one. I mean, this movie has a chance at going cult, a sequel might ruin it.
I remembered his name last night, Danny Glover, was just like "duh". But I was totally blank when I wrote the comment.

Yea could totally see it being cultish.. and sure the sequel would be more about trying to catch this guy who we already know the identity of. Not as suspenseful.

Movie people are such fools.. :P

It's sad the way Hollywood always goes; "Hey, we made some money on this, lets try to squeeze some more out of it."

It's *always* about the money.. ;\
