I gotta tell you, I don’t think anyone really expected the original “Saw” to really do a lot of business. But then it came out and BLEW UP. Now you can’t go anywhere without seeing a horror movie poster that’s trying to copy the look of the “Saw” posters, or the franchise’s “torture porn” concept — basically, put a bunch of people in a room and torture the crap out of them until they beg for death. People say the genre is dying out, with the failures of “Captivity” and “Hostel II” at the box office, but maybe it’s not that the genre is fading, but rather its COPYCATS that are fading. The “Saw” franchise seems to be going stronger than ever, and “Saw 4″, when released in theaters on Halloween, should either confirm or refute my theory. Here are some wallpapers from the movie.

How much am I looking forward to Frank Miller’s “300″? Let’s put it this way: I haven’t wanted to see a movie this bad since “The Two Towers”, and it took me two weeks of that movie being released before I ended up seeing it! But with “300″, I am there for opening night. Yes, I want to see this movie that badly. Not only have I read Miller’s graphic novels, but I’ve studied the Greeks, and in particular found a fascination with the Spartans, since college. So in service of keeping this mind-boggling need to see “300″ in check, here are some nice wallpapers from the official site, which hosts trailers and promises more goodies.
