AVATAR Film Review - 11/4/10

Okay - It's a very long film but it seems to fly by? Cameron's 'Dancing With Wolves' which he call's AVATAR strangely has that tone of problem that 'The Terminator' had. It's certainly no 'Titanic' or 'Aliens' but the simple tale rolls along with 'bad' humans attacking the peaceful world of Pandora for their own ends. Cue an amazingly photo-realistic journey through the realms of Pandora as seen through the avatar of Jake Sully a disabled marine thrown in at the deep end on a mysterious alien planet with it's mix of exotic fauna and dangerous life-forms. Now that Cameron has raised the bar again I think everyone else is going to struggle to catch up!

Worth watching once at least!

SAW 6 (DVD Review) - 6/4/10

Another installment of the latest Saw in the Franchise hits DVD with the release of 'Saw VI'. It really is a total waste of your time watching it if you are not familiar with the previous tales. Like a favourite episode of a good TV show (But longer!) this gets back to form explaining previous plot-points and actually starts to reveal more of an arc about what Jigsaw the killer has set in motion and like most things nothing is what it seems? This time around there are wheels within wheels because the more you think about it the worse it gets - What would you really do when faced with a choice like this? The net is closing around Jigsaw's apprentice and the Police seem to know all of what is going on and that things are getting out of control. A murderous game is set afoot in a dilapidated zoo but the machinations of another seem to have set off a totally different set of events strewing corpses all over the place with further questions to be answered? Currently of course with the latest 3D bandwagon at full steam ahead we can expect 'Saw VII' to be climbing on that in glorious 3D next year. Added to the disc is a selection of features covering Commentaries, plus an Interview with actor Tobin Bell (Jigsaw), Trailers, Music Vids and of course a Featurette on 'Saw VI' very own horrible devices of death. Add to that a Making Of of the new Universal Saw Horror Maze "Game Over" which seems to be frightening the shit out of everyone much like the new Thorpe Park 'Saw' Ride and Maze which this DVD is also promoting with free vouchers.
