The first "Saw" was let down by mediocre acting and a ridiculous ending. I know I have seen the second "Saw" but it was a totally forgettable experience and I can only vaguely remember the odd scene. The third instalment? Terrible. There is no characterisation at all. You cannot care for the characters are they are all less than two dimensional. The "plot" is basically an excuse for one gore scene after another but it has no impact as you do not care for any of the characters. I am a big horror film fan but this is just utter rubbish. This was a complete waste of my time and it was also far too long. Please don't let them make a fourth one.

The Life of Stuff
(1997)
A bit of a mess.

This is a bit of a mess. I saw it at the London Film Festival and was far from impressed. The plot is weak and poorly executed and considering it was adapted from a stage play, the dialogue isn't even that sharp. A waste of some talented actors.
The Last Yellow

A very pleasant suprise

A very pleasant surprise. I caught the trailer awhile ago and thought that this film looked good. Poor reviews put me off and I only recently saw it on video. It was very entertaining and far better than most of the dross that the revived UK film industry is churning out. It is very dark in its humour and all the performances are good, especially Addy who is excellent as the lying nobody who takes on the job as hitman. Well worth ninety minutes of your time if you appreciate harsh,dramatic comedy. Fans of "Maybe baby" steer clear!
