Hehe, nice! ;) i got NBN on blu-ray myself, but havent gotten around to watch it yet. But only heard great things about it tho. And for 'The Birds' you should make the upgrade to blu. I think its worth it anyway, if you enjoyd the movie and the dvd. And the Hitchcock movie is a must watch if you liked him\his work!

My Review:
Soo, me and the friends who wanted to check out the SAW movies, have just watched them all. So i'm a bit behind in my reviews. Wont be any long reviews. But i'll try to get 'em done. This is the start of something interesting really. We start to go behind one of the returning characters. Starting to get to know what really happenes here. The movie continue where it ended in movie 4. Not as much gore\blood in this one as the last one. But still a great movie. They are starting to build up something now. Highly recommanded ofc.

5/6

Title: Saw VI
Year: 2009
Director:
Rating: 15 years
Length: 90 Min.
Video: Widescreen :1
Audio: English
Subtitles: Norwegian, English, Swedish, Danish












Stars:












Plot:
Saw VI

Skräck från 2009 av Kevin Greutert med Tobin Bell och Costas Mandylor.

Filmens handling
Skräcken fortsätter...

Specialagent Strahm är död och kriminalaren Hoffman har trätt fram som den självklare efterträdaren till Jigsaws arv. Men när FBI börjar bli alltför närgångna tvingas han sätta igång spelet igen och Jigsaws stora plan börjar närma sig en upplösning.

Saw hade världspremiär på Sundance filmfestival 2004 och blev en omedelbar succé. Varje ny film har intagit första plats på USAs biotopp. Förutom att Saw är en av de mest skrämmande och hårresande skräckfilmer världen skådat, väcker den också tankar om hur långt en människa är beredd att gå för att överleva. Jigsaw tolererar inte att vissa människor inte värdesätter och respekterar livet. De som missbrukar sin postion och förstör livet för andra blir grymt bestraffade.













Extras:












My Review:
This one was a bit different then the others. In this it was alot more "flashbacks" movie. We get to see how the whole thing started. When some of the main characters "was thinking back" on how things started. And who did what. Great movie, and you learn alot of stuff in this one that you didnt know before. This one had some real great scenes with alot of blood, people losing bodyparts. Again a great movie. Better then alot of the other saw movies. Highly recommanded again ofc.

My Review:
So, the finish on the whole saga. Great story, with a cool twist. Alot of great spots again. It seems like was trying to go back to the start with more grapich scenes and more gore. And not alot of "storytelling" in that sense. I found myself enjoying this aswell. I watched the 3D version. They did a good job with the 3D efects in this one actually. Both with the depths, the flying parts. Awesome. Great movie, great franchise. Highly recommanded for those whole like that kind of horror.

My Review:
Ah, finally. I've been waiting for this to come out for a while. And i really love what they did with this. Alot more of the car chases, high speed chases. A bit more back to the originals. The story wasnt too bad either. And who ever decided to bring Letty back, genious! And how they brought her back. And what they did with her character. Perfect! And 'The Rock' did a great job imho. He's starting to grow on me as an actor. I think he's getting better and better. And turning out to be a good actor. And ofcourse they kept the high pace trough out the whole movie. Not a dull moment. And they got some great spots here and there. And a few cool twists i didnt see coming. And with that ending?! I cant wait for the 7 to come out! This might be the best F&F movie yet. Ofc highly recommanded!

I saw this in the theater..really enjoyed it. 
I tend to like the Rock ..I just find him entertaining.  He doesn't mind looking silly either...he wore a tutu and played a toothfairy.  I can't not like that.   :laugh:

I want this, but I don't even know when it is coming out here.  Grrr.

Wait a little bit before ordering the UK disc. The Amazon info say all-region but DVDP say region B. The two versions at Amazon are probably region free as listed.

My Review:
Well, this was different. I guess have you seen one of the three, you kinda seen them all. But this one (the last one?) was a bit disappointing. The story was just oridinary. Not as good as the two first movies. And this movie was most about 'Chow' the movie and plot had me laughing out loud just a few times. The weakest movie in the franchise so far. But i guess if you have seen the first two, you should watch this aswell. But if you think the first two was "bob bob" as we say here. Dont hurry to check it out. I wouldnt pay full buck for it tho. Thats not worth it. For me, this was an ok comedy. But movie 1 and 2 was great.

3/6
