   I needed this movie

   I bought “Saw III” because I needed to see it. You have to understand, I am a large horror fan. I am also a fan of TV shows like “Buffy”, “Angel”, “Dr. Who” and “True Blood”. Therefore, suffice to say I like serials. That’s why I had to have “Saw III”. And (unfortunately) “Saw IV”. (Heck, I even wasted money on the latest “Indiana Jones” drivel.)When the first “Saw” came out, I was captivated. Great villain, lots of gore. I loved the whole mythology. And due to the cliff-hanger style ending, I bought in for “Saw II” as well.And “Saw II” was fine. Decent story line. Interesting characters. Good amount of gore. Liked it.Then we come to Saws “III and IV”, which according to Wikipedia happen concurrently. I liked “Saw III” for the gore. And the plot had enough twists to keep me interested. There is also the inclusion of the pretty doctor and a good finale which appears to wrap everything up. Or does it?I have to admit I only bought “Saw III” because of seeing and enjoying Saws “I and II”. But it is a fine film, if you like the series and want to see how everything turns out.Then I went out and bought “Saw IV”, and as far as I’m concerned that’s where it has to stop. Watch the first three films and you’ll see why. “Saw V”? “Saw VI”? Give me a break. What’s next… Jigsaw comes back to life in outer space (a la Jason X)? No thanks. Moving on….

   Just think what Jigsaw could do with AI

   Is anyone good enough to meet the Jigsaw terror guru ultimate soul test, or are we all merely “dead inside”?! The first song at the end credits is Helmet’s Monochrome, which I enjoyed and now whenever I want to get the feeling of the ending of this consciousness apocalypse aka consciousness destroying haha film, I listen to that song now on repeat for awhile. “We’re running in place…” Why did I never watch this series when it first came out? Of course it made a big splash and I heard about it. But I met my wife and got married around this timeline so perhaps had other things going on eh? Would I pass Jigsaw’s test of ‘carpe diem’ / ‘live life to the fullest’ yet also take care of other people test? Would any of us?

   UNCLE SAM NEEDS YOU!

   Of course, this franchise could be twisted into an enlistment plug, since it applies mostly to testosterone pounding youth, and the odd freak of genetic misconsctucture, but really – even dear old ‘tante Piero Pasolini would smirk and frown …. Jule Taymor might sniff at this since it reeks somewhat of “Titus” and aptly relflects out delightfully Axes of Evil times, [“Off with their heads!”] ; but what is next? Hannibal vs Jigsaw?More pointed is the Great Gret Froebe “Assault in Broad Daylight” ~ a fave of my youth ……. “The List Of Adrian Messenger?” ……could make a great re-make.”Hostel” had more charm as well as eye-candy …. this one’s passable I guess and will no doubt provide lots of wanking pleasure for the young.NOW , can anyone vaguely remember “Dr. Phibes” or “Theatrre of Terror” – dear, dear, how we try to reinvent ourselves ……?HOWEVER, I did like the ‘hog-shredding’ sequence …….YUM!

   Too heavy on story, but pretty much makes up for it in the traps

   Saw 2 was *just* good enough to make me want to get the third one. Since it was, like, four bucks here for the Blu-ray, I thought, Why not?Short version: It’s the goriest “Saw” yet, but still not as gory as some other flicks, notably the remake of “I Spit On Your Grave” (hey, wanna watch forty-five minutes of sadistic rape? Or do you prefer the girl’s rather creative and tortuous revenge sequences that would make Jigsaw flinch?), nor is it on the level of some of the classics, like “High Tension”, “Suspiria”, or “REC”, probably because Saw doesn’t seem to take itself all that seriously, but the other flicks do. “Hostel” also does the same thing, which makes it more potentially disturbing. The entire “Saw” series is a bit cheesy, really, and takes a few too many creative liberties when it comes to plot and realism. At least the other films mentioned tried to look realistic, but the Saw series is almost comical in comparison, with far too much emphasis on all that crap about Amanda, and other things virtually none of us cares about. Just get to the damned traps already; we don’t give a damn about Amanda or the prequel part or any of that garbage. Since when was “Saw” known for its masterful storytelling? Right, never. It’s the puzzles that hook us, so stick to the damned puzzles. “Saw III” tries way too hard to make itself into a cohesive story, as if anyone cares at all, but it pretty much makes up for it with the traps involved, the entire freaking reason we go to see the films. (Unfortunately, as we all know now, the Saw series got progressively worse as it tried to make itself more than a gorefest with some stupid story thrown in we always skip over in our players).I was a little worried going in that this was going to be a cash-in sequel that doesn’t even try to hide that it’s a cash-in sequel–you know, just gore, gore, gore, with no creativity in there, which is why I think anyone watches Saw to begin with. You want to see people die or come close to death through the “puzzles” they have to suffer through. Yeah, it’s sick entertainment, but it’s a good premise, and Saw III actually goes the extra mile here and does multiple “traps” at the same time. No one cares about Amanda or anything except the “traps”, so what we get here is pretty good, and it even has arguably a better twist ending than the second one. It’s quite a whopper that you very likely won’t see coming. I had a guess, because I knew the plot couldn’t be as straightforward as it seemed at first; that wasn’t Saw. Something that changed everything had to happen, and here, it does, and it does so with gusto. I have to say, it was very satisfying. The final few minutes with the big reveals are a treat, and you get psyched-out a few times, but not for no reason, but because it’s critical to the idea behind Jigsaw’s plan.The short of it? There’s plenty of gore, some unique deaths (and one involving drowning in dead exploding pig juice that is rather icky), and the whole twist ending thing Saw always does. The opening one we get is pretty high up there as likely the most potentially disturbing, and for people who love this stuff (like me) and actually like how sick they’re willing to go in a film, it was a fun thing to watch (but you’ve got to admit that the rules were downright unfair for all he had to do–a minute and thirty for all that, plus escaping before he’s blown up? Who could do that in a minute and thirty?). It’s got the gore, the screams, the pain, all the stuff we love to watch.The thing is, Saw will never replace the horror films out there that are willing to push the envelope to near-impossible levels. Now, I understand that wide-release horrors can’t be on the level of, say, the “I Spit On Your Grave” remake, which involved, among other things, a *forty-five minute rape scene*, and someone getting a shotgun through the mouth…in reverse. You’d have to see it to know what I mean. In any case, that was easily NC-17 material, with full-frontal nudity, unrestrained sadistic rape, gratuitous torture, and an emphasis on pain, rather than gore, which actually makes it unique. It’s also not quite on the level of “Hostel” or “High Tension” or “Suspiria” or a bunch of other horror flicks, mostly foreign, you’ve likely never heard of. They get more liberties, or something, I dunno. American horror films don’t get as much room to work with, I suppose.Not bad, not great–too heavy on worthless story none of us watched any of the films for, and too many breaks to go into the history of Jigsaw and Amanda, and other things absolutely no one cares about. Seriously, all we want is traps. Do nothing but give us Jigsaw making traps for 90 minutes, make them creative and well-designed, and we’re all happy for it. But start throwing in a story, and our fast-forward buttons start to wear out. Saw III was the beginning of this, and it got worse as time went on, almost totally ruining the series until the disastrous “Saw 3D” (now officially retitled “Saw: The Final Chapter” because 3D sucks and none of us want it).

   What do I want??? I want to write a review.

   It was funny because me and my sister were at home and they UPS guy knocks on the door. I opened it and there before me was the UPS guy with my package… well a big box and a dvd package. He gave me the box. I ordered multiple items, so I thought my items were together. As soon as the UPS guy left I ripped that box open while my sister came in the room to see what I bought. We then we discovered it was medical things. I sat back in embarrassment as a knock was heard at the door. I opened it not more than 10 seconds before the UPS guy first came and he stood there with my SAW III DVD and I apologized and we switched packages and left and I stood there thinking, “How embarrassing… he was was gone maybe no longer than five seconds and the box was all torn up and me and my sister around the box like little kids. Pretty embarrassing. Great movie.

   “Live or die. Make your choice.”

   Jigsaw is back, and he’s got a nubile babe for an apprentice, the kind that’d make my nethers tingle if it wasn’t for the fact she’s a real sick twist. Based on a screenplay by Leigh Whannell (Saw, Saw II), Saw III was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II), and features Tobin Bell (Mississippi Burning, The Quick and the Dead) reprising his role as Jigsaw, the methodical master of malicious mayhem. Also appearing is Shawnee Smith (The Blob), Angus Macfadyen (Cradle Will Rock), Bahar Soomekh (Crash), Donnie `Donnie D’ Wahlberg (Dreamcatcher), Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers), and 1980s B movie favorite Betsy Russell (Private School, Tomboy), whose fiancé Mark Burg happened to be one of the numerous producers on the film, in a minor role.The third installment picks up where the last one left off as we see detective Eric Matthews (Wahlberg) in a familiar situation (familiar, at least, to someone who’s seen the previous films), in a dank, grimy, dimly lit room, his leg shackled to a pipe, a rusty hacksaw within reach. What follows is pretty wild (and messy), as Eric manages an escape, but not the way you might expect. After this there’s some bits with Eric’s colleague Detective Kerry (Meyer), to which we move along into the story proper as we meet an attractive ER doctor named Lynn (Soomekh), whose life seems fraught with misery and despair, despite the appearance of having it all. Anyway, after she’s kidnapped by a figure donning a hog head, she finds herself in the Guru of Gristle’s lair, a large, funky looking warehouse with intermittent lighting, filled to the brim with all kinds of wicked looking devices. Lynn soon learns the reason behind her abduction as she meets the sickly Jigsaw (if you recall he was extremely ill in the previous film), along with his attractive assistant, the reason being to keep Jigsaw alive, with the cost of failure being her own life. Seems Jiggy’s got a game going, one he wants to be around for to see all the way through. After this we meet the primary player in Jigsaw’s most current game, a pathetic sack named Jeff (Macfadyen), as he’s put through a series of tests, all of which involve other individuals suffering greatly, with Jeff having the ability to save them (for the whys and what nots you’ll have to watch the film). As Jeff progresses through Jigsaw’s diabolical maze of gory madness, Lynn finds herself having to perform a little brain salad surgery, all while Jigsaw’s assistant, who’s a few clowns short of a circus, descends deeper into her own, personal pit of psychosis. After a ton of flashbacks and some pretty horrific deaths, things eventually come full circle resulting in some memorable revelations.While I thought this third entry into the series entertaining, I think it is important to mention the importance of seeing the previous films prior to watching this one as there’s a lot of references tied to what occurred previous i.e. this is not a stand alone sequel, as may be the case with other franchise features. Now you could watch this film and follow along somewhat without having seen the previous entries, but you’ll appreciate the complexities of the overall story all the more having all the pieces of the puzzle. I did enjoy the concerted efforts to directly relate this to the previous films, but I thought the flashbacks to be excessive at times, especially the ones that filled in gaps that weren’t necessarily vital in the overall scheme of things (Was anyone particularly enlightened by learning Jigsaw had help in setting up Dr. Gordon in the first film?). Another aspect I didn’t care for occurs near the end, after an important revelation…once revealed the filmmakers go through an extensive series short flashbacks perhaps to reinforce the impact, but it seemed more an effort to spoon feed the audience the all the bits that led up to said revelation, as if we weren’t all that bright to get it in the first place. I was paying attention so the events tied to the revelation weren’t lost on me, and I felt it unnecessary to rehash the material. Another bit that annoyed me slightly was the lighting in Jigsaw’s lair…I thought it odd how many lighting fixtures worked on a sporadic basis, flashing on and off. I know this was done to help create an atmosphere, but it became a little irritating after awhile. The traps featured here were pretty wild (and vicious), and the gore factor high. There are some real nasty devices throughout, the worst, in my opinion, being the rack, which Jigsaw claimed his personal favorite (the shotgun shell collar was a trip, as was the hideous hog-o-matic processor). I won’t reveal any more about it, but know it provides for a whole lot of intense, lingering pain before delivering death. There are a few twists near the end, one of which, involving Lynn, I thought particularly well done, especially given the fact Jigsaw provided a good deal of clues prior to the revelation. These clues seem innocuous statements initially, but once fully understood, they provide a respectable punch to the gut. The performances were suitable, the story thoughtful and generally well crafted (there are a few holes and elements that require a good deal of suspension of disbelief), the atmosphere suitably grimy and ookie, and the pacing reasonable. The story was complicated, but I thought Bousman, along with his editor, did a good job in keeping things orderly, ultimately paving the way for another sequel.This unrated DVD version (which runs 113 minutes compared to the 107 minute theatrical runtime), released by Lions Gate, features a sharp looking, widescreen anamorphic (1.78:1) picture, along with a vibrant audio track, available in both 5.1 and 2.0 Dolby Digital for English and Spanish. There’s a healthy assortment of extras including three featurettes, the first titled The Traps of Saw III, another titled The Details of Death: The Props of Saw III, and a third called Darren’s Diary: Anatomy of a Director. Also included are three commentary tracks, one featuring director Darren Lynn Bousman, writer/executive producer Leigh Whannell, and producers Oren Koules and Mark Burg, a second featuring executive producers Peter Block and Jason Constantine, and a third with director Darren Lynn Bousman, editor Kevin Greutert, and director of photography David A. Armstrong. On top of that are deleted scenes, subtitles in English and Spanish, a theatrical trailer, a theatrical teaser, and trailers for Crank (2006), Saw Special Edition DVD, Saw II Special Edition DVD, The Punisher Extended Cut DVD, The Invincible Iron Man (2007) animated feature, and Hostel II (2007). If you really thrive on extras, this is a decent edition to get, but you might want to wait and see if Lion’s Gate, a company that seems to specialize in double dipping, is going to eventually release a two DVD special edition of the film, as they did with the previous Saw movies.Cookieman108By the way, am I the only who thinks Shawnee Smith looks a lot better with long hair?

   The brilliance of SAW

   Here is my take on not just SAW III but all of them. A man who is faced with the concept that he knows he is going to die, an average guy at that, makes a choice. He makes the choice to teach other people a lesson. A lesson about how valuable the gift of life is. So he sets some rules. He never truly sets out to kill anyone. That is the brilliance of the whole series. He puts you in a situation. One where you have to fight for the life you have “wasted away”.He chooses the drug users, rapists, voyeurs, pretty much the lowlifes of society who basically have chosen an ugly life and are just wasting away because it is what they chose. Jigsaw, in his amazing wisdom, asks you either you fight for a better life because of the one you had chosen, or die the way you will be remembered as, a rapist, drug user, murderer, and so on.The challenge asks you to destroy some of your body but to learn a lesson. The lesson is:”Why was I put here in the first place?”Answer: Because of what you chose.Now he makes you make the ultimate choice, fight to live, or just chose to die.He wants you to win. He wants you to live. He wants you to realize that you are wasting away, so fix it.A lot of people would view Jigsaw as a villain, probably one of the most intelligent in movies, not just a hacker and slasher, but in the heart of this, he can be considered a hero too. He wants you to change your life for the better, and avoid forever being condemned for the crimes and choices we all make. He knows someday he will die of something he has no control over. So if you don’t have that burden, why push towards an early grave.He is a hero.That is what makes these movies amazing. The SAW series isn’t your average hacker or slasher, it has deeper meanings.

    The Best of the “Saw” Movies

    Tobin Bell returns as the diabolical “Jigsaw” in this excellent 3rd installment of the now-famous “Saw” series. This movie picks up right where part II left off. We see Jigsaw’s apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith) slamming the door on a well and truly trapped Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg). “Game’s over”, she mutters as she leaves. But is the game over for Matthews? It is for one other part II carryover; Kerry (Dina Meyer). She is investigating the death of a former ex-con who has died in a most brutal manner. At first, she doesn’t expect Jigsaw was involved, but she soon learns otherwise as the video retrieved from the crime scene shows.Soon, Kerry is abducted by Amanda and she meets the same gruesome demise as the crime scene victims she used to investigate. But the real story follows .There are two story lines in this movie. One deals with Jigsaw’s worsening brain tumor. Realizing his condition is deterorating, he instructs Amanda to abduct Lynn (Bakar Soomekh), a successful surgeon, to help with his condition. Upset with her life situation, Lynn is apparently just going through the motions at her job. Amanda abducts her and leads her to Jigsaw, where she is fitted with an explosive collar designed to detonate if Jigsaw “flatlines”. She is forced to keep Jigsaw alive or risk her own death.The other plot deals with a man named Jeff (Angus Macfadyen). Jeff’s young son was killed by a drunk driver, and he has been dealing with feelings of revenge. Captured by Jigsaw and placed in a box, he is released and able to confront those responsible for the death of his son; the lone eyewitness, the leniant judge, and the driver himself. He has the choice of saving each of these people or letting them die. Will Jeff choose life or death? Will he be able to overcome his feelings of rage and save these people, or will they die like so many other of Jigsaw’s victims?The best part of the movie is the final 15 minutes. In this time, all of the questions and twists of the movie are neatly wrapped up. Watch closely so you don’t miss anything.I found this movie to be the best of the “Saw” movies by far. Tobin Bell does a magnificent job as the maniachal Jigsaw, and the other actors are very good as well. What sets this movie apart from the first two is its excellent plot. It will keep you guessing throughout until everything is revealed at the end.I give this movie my highest recommendation. The “Saw” series has become one of the biggest horror movie series in recent memory, and this thrilling and bloody installment maintains the earlier tradition. The scenes in this movie are much more graphic than in the first two movies, so watch with caution. This series has become one of my favorites, and “Saw III” keeps the action and blood flowing.
