Jaws 2

I enjoye the second one a lot more thn I used to especially since a lot of it was fresh to me unlike the original and Roy Scheider (RIP brother) is great in pretty much every role he plays. It did need a few more gruesome attacks like the Quint scene in the original.

Jaws 3

Still as disappointing as I remember it. This could've been a lot better. Did anyone catch this in 3-D back in the day? A couple of bits would've looked killer.

Trancers

I hadn't seen this one since I was a kid. Still a great fun Terminator/Blade Runner knock off. My only complaint is the ending was rushed and could've been a lot better.

Saw V.


The opening sequence really sets the tone of the entire flick. A lot of questions left unanswered in IV are answered here, plus there are some really sweet traps this time around. It gives a lot more insight into the personas and characters of both Jigsaw and Hoffman. Although the guy who plays Hoffman needed to be a bit more animated, and not imitate Jigsaw's demeanour throughout the flick.

Judging by the way this one ends, I am willing to predict that VI will end this franchise. And as per impact, I would put this one alongside II. Gory and fun.

Wanted.


Mindless action flicks with goofy premises, which do not follow any set rules, can be really fun to watch. I had a blast. Angelina looked pale though. But overall, a very stylish and chic action movie.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) - 8.5/10.

Still one of my favorite horror films. A lot of fun to watch.
