My Bloody Valentine 3D
Get your heart broken

I was very excited when we got our digital print in early enough on Wednesday to get it loaded up and cued for screening. I was even more excited when I started watching the movie, and the 3D was the best I have ever seen.

Plot: Ten years after the massacre that claimed the lives of several of his friends and classmates, Tom (Jensen Ackles, Supernatural) returns to his hometown to sell the family mine. Soon after his return, people begin dying – apparent victims of the murderous miner Harry Warden. Except Harry Warden has been dead for ten years. Tom becomes suspect number one, and the only one who believes that he is innocent is his former high school sweetheart, Sarah (Jaime King, Sin City), who is now married to the town sheriff, Axel (Kerr Smith, Dawson’s Creek). My Bloody Valentine 3D is a remake of the 1981 film.

Saw V
You won't believe how it ends.

Get the Flash Player to see this content.

I put off writing this review, for the most part, to see if my opinion improved over time. It hasn’t.

Saw V stars Man A from Saw IV and Man B from Saw III and Saw IV. It doesn’t matter what their names are. It’s not relevant.

The Breakdown: [Semi Spoiler Free] Man A continues his part in the game from Saw IV and actually survives his impossible trap because of his ingenious idea. Man B saves the little girl missing from Saw IV and becomes the hero.

Man A suspects that Jigsaw had an accomplice, and sets out to find him. Using past case reports, Man A revisits previous games. Meanwhile, a new game has begun. The only game in the movie, and what a shit game it is.

Man B tracks Man A and, as if you couldn’t figure it out by now, it is revealed that Man B is the protege of Jigsaw.

The movie ends in a confrontation between Man A and Man B, and the single game in the movie also concludes.

You won’t believe how it ends. Bullshit. It doesn’t end.

The tag line for the movie is total crap considering, if you’ve seen the previous Saw movies, they always leave room for a sequel. It also doesn’t help that they announced production of Saw VI before Saw V came out.

Essentially, if you’ve seen the previous Saw movies, you’ve seen this one. You’re not missing much if you decide to skip this one.
