Saw V

WARNING! Series spoilers for past movies!

I saw the latest installment of the infamous Saw series which was released last Friday the 24th. A lot of people were wondering how the series would continue after Jigsaw had died in the previous movie.

The movie picks up right where the four left off with Agent Strahm discovering Jigsaw's body. The only other survivors were Hoffman and the little girl. Strahm continues to investigate the jigsaw murders while Hoffman seems to be keeping track of the special agent. Also there is a new puzzle is set in motion at the beginning of the movie with five victims that share a common connection.

As the movie goes on we change between following the people inside the game and the detective and Strahm. The way they do this makes it seem a bit thrown together. At the end though it all gets pulled together into a nice, if not twisted ending that left me in awe.

My rough cut summary: This was not as good as SawII but I still give this movie an 7 out of 10.

Sex Drive

I heard from a few of my friends that I should go see Sex Drive which opened last Friday the 17th. This is the antidote to the horribleness that is College! If Superbad and EuroTrip got together and had a baby this would be their legitimate child. This movie is great with its quirky characters and the classic main character that isn't good with the ladies. He goes on a road trip to meet a girl he met online with his two best friends tagging along for the ride. Seth Green shows up for parts of the movie as an Amish dude with an altitude. With all the weird situations they end up in it ends up being a trip to remember with a few surprises along the way.


My rough cut summary: I would give this movie an 8 out of 10. If you like the college type movies then it is a must see!
