LuckyWillI Came, I SAW, I Conquered

I recently went to watch Saw VII on the Big screen, the last of the Saw saga. The violence was probably the most gruesome of the 7 films and once again the story twisted back in on itself to try and lend greater meaning to an already significantly stretched plotline. But you know what, I really enjoyed it.
The film continues the tale of its rogue detective as he seeks vengeance on Jigsaw’s wife after she tried to knock him off in the previous film. We are also introduced to a new batch of weapons, traps and seemingly innocent victims. This time around a man named Bobby Dagen, a jigsaw survivor, is at the centre of the story as he counsels others who have been through his ordeal, but it seems jigsaw isn’t quite done with him yet, nor is he done with other survivors dating right back to episode 1 of this series.
One of the staples of the first Saw films was that unpredictability in the plot. I would either have no idea where it was going or if I did, I turned out to be wrong. Unfortunately that was lost for a couple of the films in the middle but I can safely say its back. I thought I had figured out the ending of Saw 7 and in a way I had but the writers were back to their best and royally screwed my theory in the end.
Its fun its suspenceful and its gruesome, what more could you want?

Now in watching this film, being the end of an era, it got me thinking of my own story and how that will end. I recently got a new job as the Assistant Editor of a Rugby League Magazine here in Australia. For those interested in the sport its called Rugby League Player Magazine and it is an awesome job. I now find myself writing a lot for the mag and the freedom I once got from publishing here on Cinematrix is something I no longer need. This site has helped me a lot, and given me an outlet to showcase my work so now I am going to step aside and let someone else take the reigns.
Its been an awesome ride and for most people you may neither notice, nor care that I’m gone, but for those who do read my work and enjoy it, thanks for reading and if only for my own peace of mind I would like to sign off.
Thanks for everything readers
Ciao
