Saw II (2005)
Intence, thought provoking, scary, and incredibly real
I was a huge fan of Saw, and was intrigued by its plot and story I line. The only thing I thought was holding it back was the acting. The sequel, unlike many sequels, is much better than the first in many ways. The actors fell in line, the story was completely new and interesting, and the ending was BETTER than the first.
I recommend it to anyone. I've never seen a horror movie made like these, and they are a refreshing change from the overplayed "bad guy kills people, good guys end up winning" plot line. Go see this movie, but watch the first one first, even if you've seen it before, refresh your memory!
Pink Floyd: P. U. L. S. E. Live at Earls Court (1994)
An incredible piece of art.
I am a fairly new fan of Pink Floyd. I'm only 17, and I'm listening to songs written 30 years ago? And enjoying them?? This is why Dark Side of the Moon STILL sells more than 8,000 copies a week. Their music is unique, artistic, and really very "smart" compared to many modern bands. Rarely do we find an album that tells a story seamlessly.
PULSE is the first live concert I have ever actually gotten chills down my spine during some parts, especially the glass ball during "Compfortably Numb" and the incredible jam session "One Of These Days." Their renditions of classics like "Astronomy Domine" "Another Brick in the Wall" and "Shine On You Crazy Dimond" all lived up to their respective history.
"The Great Gig In The Sky" Is surprisingly well done. The three backup singers deservingly get their time to shine.
But the absolute best, and the one that really makes this DVD a must have to any musical collection, is "Compfortably Numb." David Gilmours' solo is unforgettable. The visual effects, including the previously mentioned 16 foot wide glass ball, perfectly moved with the mood of the song. When the ball opens, its as if the entire concert climaxes.
The reaction from the record-breaking audience makes me jealous to have not been...there...to see it in person. But this is the absolute next best thing. It's seamlessly constructed and extremely entertaining. A MUST SEE.
