Tomorrow night, movie theaters across the country will show the first three Saw movies, leading up to a midnight screening of the new Saw IV.
Like Tim McGraw’s weepy country hit “Live Like You Were Dying,” the Saw trilogy is all about appreciating life. Of course, McGraw didn’t make his point by puncturing eyeballs and hacking off various limbs (though we did feel the urge to stab our ears with something really sharp after hearing it on the radio so many damn times).
We haven’t seen Saw IV, but if it’s anything like its predecessors, we’ll be heading straight home to take a shower. The grimy, nauseating movies make us feel so dirty. Showtimes start at 6 p.m. at Cinemark at Valley View and Regal Cobblestone Square 20 in Elyria. — Michael Gallucci

Due to some personal issues, I refused to view SAW until I releted just to make the badgering stop. It was the most boring, confusing, go-nowhere disappointment I’ve seen in a while. I thought it would never end and by the time it did I would have rather been chained to that sink…or whatever. Then, again, I didn’t like “Forrest Gump” or “ET”, either. So, maybe, it’s me.
(Bring back movie reviews by “The Douchebag Sitting Behind You”. They were hilarious.)
