Saw X (2023)

Of all the men to cheat, you picked John Kramer?

[9/10 · 29 September 2023]

The Saw we know is back babiii!!!

Loved the additional character development of John and Amanda. Traps were more gruesome for the most part, and they were well planned and practical. Although there is a cliff hanger, I still expected more from the ending and the post credits scene, but one could assume it was left semi open for more blood; hopefully in the events after The Final Chapter. It would be nice to see future installments that include the apprentices that were shown and forgot about.

Huge improvement from Jigsaw and Spiral. Felt like the OGs when necessary. Kevin has displayed his talents for directing and editing in full passion and I'm now a big fan of his. Hats off to the crew, Kevin, Tobin, Shawnee, and (secrets)

9/10!

Medical Police (2020)

Actually hilarious!

[9/10 · 17 January 2020]

If you are a fan of David Wain and friends, you enjoy Medical Police. The humor is mindless and stupid but that's exactly what they were going for and it worked. It's an action movie parody, much like They Came Together was a RomCom parody. So silly, it's hard not to laugh.

All in all if you're looking for a mindless show to enjoy, Medical Police is where it's at

Can't wait for season 2

The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)

Don't go into this movie wearing a serious face

[8/10 · 13 January 2014]

Being a fan of Eli Roth and also Rza's performance in Derailed, I was willing to give The Man with the Iron Fists a fighting chance. Being released a few months ago on blu ray, I waited until it was ondemand under a premium channel movie selection. However, I am disappointed in myself for waiting so long to see this entertaining movie.

You can not, I repeat CAN NOT go into this movie thinking it's going to be a Bruce Li classic. You can tell that this movie was made for pure bloody fun, a silly but original script with just the right amount of "cheese" in it, and most importantly, to entertain not only fans of the genre, but hopefully everyone with an open mind.

In my own opinion, this film got such bad reviews because some people went into this movie completely wrong. Based off the trailers, you should have known that this movie was not going to win an Oscar for best picture. This movie was made for it's over the top entertainment.

Next time you watch this film, if ever again for some of you, open up your mind and laugh at the insane stunts and over the top fight scenes, the classic cheesy "rothish" one liners, and most importantly have fun with it. Mad props to RZA and everyone involved in this film.

8 out of 10 for being a fun, underrated martial arts film that should have got a little more love.
