The 2010 WZ Film Awards

[Ambiguous Turd]

Only Saw III and IV are terrible. Especially Saw IV.

They completely up and change the entire cast, yet somehow try to ignore changing any of the story. Add on to that, the "good guy" and "bad guy" looked way too much alike and had me fucking puzzled as to who was who 30 minutes into the damn movie.

Saw V was okay, and I actually enjoyed Saw VI the most since Jigsaw's death.

Saw 5 I think is under-rated as it is a phenomenal background film in deep diving into Detective Hoffman's motives for why he is doing what he is doing, and also into establishing his rather ruthless character.

Saw 6 was good, and many feel it was the best Saw since Saw 2.

I don't really look at this series as actual "movies". Rather, I look at them as expanded Television Episodic Crime Drama series. I think if you view each one as another "episode" as opposed to actually viewing them as "movies" and judging them as such, you may enjoy them better.

I am a fan of the series in general, and I don't view any one any more weak than the other, only because I view each of them as expanding upon the total story even more ... given how much each one backtracks into prior events .. and you get a little more of the background of the story from each one.

But I am a big fan of Detective Hoffman's character and I think he is very under-rated when comparing him to Jigsaw, especially considering his resourcefulness and determination to stay clear from the authorities for his past, while continuing Jigsaw's work.

So I can post a list? Moon shall get some lovin' soon. Is Visioneers a 2009 movie? Not sure, but maybe it'll show up just to make things interesting if it is.

 

[Dagger Dias]

I'm going to message you mine.

Will... a few of those movies came out in 2008, not 2009.

Will... a few of those movies came out in 2008, not 2009.

Wait, what? Okay.. which ones? I'll take them out and put in alternative ones.

I just went through the list of movies released in 2009 (as in video store releases - which are obviously a month+ behind on when the movies came out, I suppose)

 

[jmt225]

All these films were released in 2008:

Doubt
Seven Pounds
W.
The Wrestler
Punisher: War Zone
Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Valkyrie
Gran Torino
The Day the Earth Stood Still

Well fuck me. I wish we were doing this a year sooner than, because my goodness were some of those movies hit or miss.

Alright, this might take me longer than expected then.

Depends if Will is from England.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Nope, I'm just an idiot. Seriously, I took my list of movies from 2009 straight off a release dates list for video rental stores and didn't even remotely think any of those movies would've been released the year prior.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

All right, these bad boys are going up tonight. Voting will be open for two weeks.

 

[FromTheSouth]

OK, I don't know how anyone feels I belong included in this, but I will give it a go. I need to see a list of movies that came out in 2009 so I don't put anything from 2008 in there.

I only voted on movies I have seen. I hear Bridges is amazing in Crazy Heart, but I didn't see it.

This is a pretty sweet idea.

 

[X]

Lol, don't worry FTS, I only laughed for about 20 seconds when I read you included Transformers 2.

I promise I'll get around to posting in these threads later, when I have some motivation. I have none at all right now.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

You fuckers need to stop with the Inglourious Basterds kissassery. Expect a reply tomorrow where I pwn all of you Tarantino fanbois.
