1313: Actor Slash Model (2011)
Horrible waste of time
I just watched this on Netflix, and man did this movie stink! Another review mentioned that it had shirtless boys walking around aimlessly in a mansion... and that was pretty damn accurate.
Yes the boys are pretty to look at, but I'm sorry. I need more to a movie than that. The "plot" was weak. A jealous boy who didn't get cast in their movie is going around killing everyone who IS cast. He's smaller than most of the boys he is "killing" (you never see a drop of blood, we'll get to that...) so most of the killing make no sense to me. He could EASILY be overtaken by these boys. Weak. Then there is the aspect of the dead bodies... or rather the lack there of. No blood. No bodies. Is he magic? You'd think there would be a pile of bodies SOMEWHERE, right? Nope. Nothing.
I would rather beat myself in the face with a Twilight DVD for weeks rather than watch this, or any other 1313 film ever again. (yeah, there are more... and I stupidly thought "Hey, maybe the other one is better?")
I was wrong.
Saw II (2005)
Very good sequel! **minor spoilers**
I wouldn't go so far as to call this the best film of the year... but DEFFENENTLY the best sequel! I just finished screening this movie for our local theater that I work for, and I can't tell you how excited, yet nervous I was about this movie. I mean, how can you top the first one? The twist in "Saw" was so unexpected my jaw dropped. (litterally). I thought there was no way they could keep up with that, right? Well.. this one has not only a twist at the end, but a few others as well. One of them can be figured out if you pay attention to the rules, although you probably still won't be able to guess. Another you could figure out if you pay attention to things said and reactions (this one I actually guessed). The other, well.. you'll just have to watch won't you? The dialog I'd have to say was a tad on the trite side, and this is where it lost a point for me. One of the traps was a bit unbelievable as well, lost another one for that. (the hands).
Otherwise, I REALLY enjoyed this movie and will recommend this to my friends.
