Some movie reviews

Lately, I've watched 2 new films: "Saw" & "Sponge Bob Square Pants."

"Saw" is hyped one of those suspense-morality tales that I love to watch. But while it had some excellent atmospherics (sets) and a potentially interesting premise, it ultimately dragged and fell flat. And the actors, including Cary Elwes, just weren't up to the task. If you want to see an excellent morality tale, with all the atmospherics, well-acted, and totally creepy, watch/rent/buy "Seven."

"Sponge Bob" didn't have any aspirations to be more than it was - a silly, fun, kiddie cartoon - but one with nice messages - going out on a limb for someone else, the value of friendship, believing in oneself. I was entertained.
