I CAME, I SAW II, It KICKED ASS!!!!

this is certainly one of those "feel good" movies of the past year. and just like the tagline promises, yes, there will be blood...in copious amounts! i felt that this was an improvement from the first, much more of a psychological thriller than pure gorefest...though the gorefest is what keeps me amused and engaged. if anything, it is an extension of the first and doesn't try to placate that pussy MPAA by toning down the cutting into eyeballs, throwing up blood, and brains splattering all over the place which i miss so much from movies that try to pass as "horror".

i love this guy Jigsaw, think he's the cousin of Kevin Spacey's self-righteous bible freak from Seven, in that whole, i'm teaching these people a lesson...he's great, he never kills directly nor indiscriminately, if he got you it's b/c you're a very bad person and that beartrap strapped to your head is to show you the error of your ways, oh yeah, the key to get it out is lodged somewhere in your body and you have 60 secs to get it out...so see, he doesn't really want you to die. what a nice man.

SAW II is just one of the films, like Hostel, and the upcoming remake of The Hills Have Eyes, that are showing a return to the no holds barred gore flicks that i had so much enjoyed in my youth back in the day. make it a SAW night, watch the 2 back-to-back and revel in the fact that you're a good person and that there aren't steel clamps jammed in your mouth and the key to get it off isn't underneath a loved ones skullcap.
