SAW - The Jigsaw Completed

In the past I have always avoided watching the SAW films, I don't know why, but I just did.

A month ago I finally decided to sit down and watch them over the span of a week, and instantly became entranced. 

The films had me jumping, cringing and tensing up as the games were played out on the screen. 

My friend Cat joined me, she had already seen all of them, and as we watched the confusion of what was going on was setting in deep.

Cat just kept telling me that I needed to get to the seventh movie and then all will make sense; but I couldn't help but want to make a list of who died and the time line throughout the films.

Which was anything but concise. 

Just like I mentioned with The Human Centipede, SAW is one film franchise that just needs to be watched, though you might have to look away from the screen some times as the graphic nature can be a bit too much; unlike The Human Centipede that, for the most part, had all of the unpleasant scenes out of view.

This is a psychological film that will have you thinking twice about how you go about your life.

Santa, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy, Sandman and... Jack Frost?

Rise of the Guardians debuted late last year but it wasn't until this spring, day before Easter in fact, that I decided to watch it.
Rise of the Guardians opens with the line, "Darkness. That's the first thing I remember. It was dark, and it was cold. And I was scared. 
"But then, but then I saw the Moon, it was so big and so bright, it seemed to chase the darkness away; and when it did, I wasn't scared anymore."
Then the last line heard before going to the Title is, "My name is Jack Frost, how do I know that? The Moon told me so. That's all he ever told me and that was a long, long time ago."
The story follows the mythical figures [Guardians] Santa, who's Russian with tattoos; The Easter Bunny, a giant, cute bunny, from 'Down Under'; The Tooth Fairy, who resembles a hummingbird; and Sandman, a silent guardian.
It isn't until Pitch, the 'Boogyman', threatens to invade the minds of children all over the world and turn dreams into nightmares that the Guardians are presented with a new Guardian chosen by the Moon -- Jack Frost.
One constant throughout is belief. If the children believe the Guardians can be seen and heard, but in Jack's situation he is unseen.
This is one movie that can be watched throughout the year and not be barred to one holiday. Follow this heroic and heart warming character as the discovers the true power of belief.
Which ends just the way it started: "My name is Jack Frost, and I'm a Guardian. How do I know that? The Moon told me so."

--Also, try to guess who voices the characters - I guarantee you will be surprised when you figure out who provides these spectacular beings with voice, with life.
