I gave in to the expensive movie industry this weekend and saw two movies at the local theater.  First I saw Saw IV, and then tonight I saw Rendition.   Both were great movies, but they are very different in the type of entertainment that they provide.  I will not give away the movie, so please continue reading.

Saw IV is very disturbing and gory.  There is a lot of blood in it, however you really shouldn’t expect anything else from Saw.  In my opinion Saw IV was the best of the sequels to Saw (Saw I was the best of the four).  It plays a lot off of the other Saw movies, so before you go see Saw IV make sure you watch the first three.  It is a great movie, and if you are a fan of the other three, Saw IV will not let you down.  Don’t bring your kids though, the R rating is very well deserved.

Rendition is another great pick.  Very different from Saw IV though.  Rendition is a fairly slow movie that you must pay attention in.  Do not go see this movie if you want to go relax.  Rendition is a thinking movie that requires your attention.  The movie has a few torture scenes in it, and that is the only reason the movie has an R rating.  This is a good movie for adults, as most children (under 15 or so) probably won’t be able to follow the plot.

I would highly recommend both of these movies.  Saw IV will not let you down, and Rendition is a great pick if you like complex movies that require you to think about what is happening.
