Paying Your Debt to Society

Well I think I owe all you lot a butt load of fucking reviews don't I. Well here goes im going for some kind of a record here so here comes a fuck load of films and shit with a few thoughts about them.



Quantum of Solace = For a bond film there is a distinct lack of Bond, he doesn't even make sweet love down by the fire to the proper bond girl, played by Olga Kurylenko who is very sexy i'l admit but really really can't act. Also there are plot holes the size of a whore's vagina and nothing really happens, in one word - Boring



Burn After Reading = One of the funniest films I've seen in a while genuinely made me chuckle and I would recommend it to anyone, it is very clever and creates a good mix of Anchorman sillyness with napoleon dynamite random nothingness, also look out for that killer last line. But with an all star cast it isn't surprising that such a good movie came from it, but mixed with great directing and a fantastic script burn after reading is a must for all.

The fourth kind = Hilariously rubbish and so far up its own arse with "actual footage" that is forgets it's trying to scare you. So then it shoves some flashing lights and creepy voice speaking in a random language which they then put subtitle next to saying weird things like "I am god". The film then goes on to steal the stargate storyline of aliens shaped the ancient civilisations, this time using the sumerians as the scapegoats. Over all the film is pretentious with poor acting and worse directing, Olatunde Osunsanmi makes his debut with this and I hope he doesn't come back. Also can Milla Jovovich just fuck off and either make a sex tape or a porn film because unless Resident Evil four is coming out soon I have no time for her unless I can wank.

The Saw series = This is something i've wanted to talk on for a while, I do really like the series for two reasons. First I am fool who thinks the glory of the first film will one day be recreated in the inevitable amount of sequels. And second becuase I am a sucker for Tobin Bells voice. Now this series started really really well, the first Saw film was brilliant its gore was minimal and all of its horror was psychological. Furthermore the film was well written with almost all the twists explained and developed enough to both surprise and scare the viewer. Another great thing about this film was that Tobin Bell was used to great effect as Jigsaw, with the film being less about him and more about the hunt for him and the predicament of the two chaps in the bathroom trap. Overall the series started very very well. Then the sequels started to roll out, it didn't go so bad the first time round saw 2 seemed to go pretty well the gore was ramped up a bit but the psychological side was still there along with a very "Kevin Spacey in Seven" style Tobin Bell talking with the copper who coppered him. The traps were inventive but not implausible, the victims well chosen for Jigsaws M.O. and the ending was sufficiently twisty to keep me interested. Then there was saw 3-5, all of which can be summed up the words Utterly-Rubbish-Useless-GoreFest-GorePorn-Fucking-Annoying-And-Possibly-Neo-Nazi. This phrase must only be applied to this sequence of films. Then came along Saw 6, this newest recent installment wasn't to bad the traps had gone back to being more plausible and the story had less holes in it then the previous shitheaps, although there were still holes, big holes, with piercings and tatoos of their own. But then again the psychology was back and gore had been toned down, I enjoyed but I still laughed at the utter sillyness of it. Its worth seeing if you have seen the others and now like myself want to see how the story ends which could happen in about inevitabillion films time but I will eventually know. If you are new to series be happy with the first one and forget about the rest. Also fans of the series ask yourself why every large building in america's unnamed city where all atrocities happen has suddenly become abondoned?

The end I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as I did
