At this point in the Saw series, reviews really don't matter. Frankly, this is one of the few fright franchises where audiences don't care about character development, directorial flair, or narrative invention. Instead, they want more Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, more illogical puzzle kills, and a reverse referencing that makes unimportant characters major players in later installments. To that extent, Saw V is definitely no different. Unfortunately, whatever made the first four films tolerable has been whisked away by unimaginative writing and even more pedestrian direction. read the full review | |

An Inconvenient Truth | | | Starring: Al Gore Director: Davis Guggenheim | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | An Inconvenient Truth - DVD By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/21/2006 2:43 AM | | The concept of global warming is nothing new to me. I grew up in a part of the country surrounded by flower-child communes dedicated to returning to a more natural way of life to help save the planet. Somehow, hearing about the risks of global warming from the former Vice President of our country carries a lot more weight than hearing about it from people who preferred to bathe in their own sweat rather than water and smelled distinctly of marijuana most of the time. read the full review | |

Saw 3 (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Tobin Bell Director: Darren Lynn Bousman | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | Saw III Unrated - DVD By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/24/2007 10:13 PM | | Coming in yearly intervals, the Saw franchise has built its reputation on the two things it does extraordinarily well -- shocking twist endings and a keen sense for how much brutality audiences can stand. This third and possibly final entry in the series stands up to its predecessors in both categories, though maybe not in the follow through. read the full review | |

The Saw films will doubtless continue and soon enough Saw IV will probably be relegated to the same blur with which I now see the other sequels. But for now it's the odd movie out -- as cheap and cheesy as its brethren, but oddly boring for long stretches. By now, these Saw characters have been having a very bad couple of murder-packed weeks. Maybe it would be best if the filmmakers skipped ahead and put this behind them.

In the highly competitive (and commerce-oriented) business called show, mimicry is the sincerest form of financial flattery. Once a genre hits, or film type clicks, you can be guaranteed of a hundred other wannabes straggling along your cash heavy coattails. After the one-two profitability punch of Halloween and Friday the 13th, everyone was anxious to get in the slasher business. Within months of their release, we got The Burning, Prom Night, Terror Train, and countless others. One of the best, My Bloody Valentine followed the holiday-based horror setup started by John Carpenter and Sean Cunningham, but it definitely distanced itself with its sadism and splatter. read the full review | |

 | | 44. Repo the Genetic Opera | | | Starring: Anthony Head Alexa Vega Director: Darren Lynn Bousman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/20/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Repo! The Genetic Opera - DVD Review By: Blake Matthews - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/21/2009 2:48 PM | | Repo! The Genetic Opera is a rock opera with horror and science fiction themes. The film takes place in the near future, where GeneCo offers organ transplants to the masses after an epidemic of organ failures threatens the world's populations. But there’s a catch – if the patients don’t make their payments then GeneCo can repossess the organs. GeneCo uses Repo Men to collect their property, by literally cutting the person open and yanking out the organ or organs the person has defaulted on. The head Repo Man is Nathan Wallace played by Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) who works for CEO Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino) and his three children Luigi (Bill Moseley), Pavi (Nivek Ogre) and Amber Sweet (Paris Hilton). read the full review | |
