Ghost Hunters (2004)
A great ghost hunting show...
For anyone who is the slightest bit interested in the paranormal, this is a great show. Unlike some ghost hunting shows, that shall remain unnamed, this show is not the least bit cheesy, overly dramatic, or unrealistic. The ghosthunters go out of their way to disprove activity before they actually confirm a haunting. On some other ghost hunter show, the hunters will jump, scream, or freak out when they hear the slightest noise or they are constantly feeling "breezes", "breaths", etc. This show is not like that which is why I think it makes it a great show. The hunters don't overreact and are pretty level-headed when confronted with activity. So, when they actually do come up with activity and confirm that it is paranormal, you know that they aren't just making it up for dramatic purposes.
Just a great all-around show!
Saw (2004)
I Know What It is Missing
This movie has a good plot and a good flow. Unlike some movies, you don't get mixed up with the flashbacks. The set-ups that the jigsaw man reminded me of SEVEN's serial killer, not ripoffs, but just as clever.
There is some humor in odd places. You will find yourself laughing pretty hard and thinking at the same time if you should be laughing at all. At times, you won't know if the acting of Carey Elwes is so bad it is making you laugh or it is intended to be that way. Leigh Wannell is a pretty good new actor. Monica Potter and Danny Glover are the two biggest stars in the movie and they seem like second string.
So here it is... The thing that is missing in this movie is a CONNECTION with the characters. You really get no connection with them in any way. In SEVEN and the RING you felt a connection with the characters so you felt for them. In this movie, they don't really set up a connection with them, so you really don't come away from the movie caring what did or didn't happen to them
