as you wish...

I usually don't go to see 'scary movies', and I don't usually admit to really liking them. However, I must confess that "Saw", though lacking in acting skills and merit, managed to hold my attention. Cary Elwes' (whom as I will always and forever know as Westley from The Princess Bride), acting performance was weak and contributed greatly to the overall cheesiness of the movie. I will give the writer credit- it was well planned out. If you miss the last five minutes of the movie, you've missed the entire movie. An article by Jason Freeden on the Associated Content web page noted, "It is one of those movies that leave you thinking until the end, and then boom right at the end leave you hanging". I have heard rumors of a sequel, but I'm not quite sure where it could lead...
