Saw IV (2007) [R]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $08.75
Review-lite: Tobin Bell is back as Jigsaw John—the serial killer who uses fiendish traps to offer his victims choices to grow and learn or die. Having dies of cancer in the last film, this film begins with his autopsy, but flashbacks from his wife allows new insight into the character. Along with this, the film ensnares Rigg (Lyriq Bent) in a new an more maniacal game where he has but 90 minutes to learn a valuable lesson in personal restraint and save his two remaining colleagues from death. He must do this by setting other people up in their own traps, as we will learn the key to Saw IV is that everyone is still being controlled by one of Jigsaw's traps. Poor editing and too much story with wooden characters and acting make this film less fresh than its predecessor (click for full details and complete review)

Sydney White (2007) [PG-13]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $12.75
Review-lite: Sydney White is a wonderfully refreshing and surprisingly empowering film set in modern times using age-old themes in a colorful and fun new way. Amanda Bynes plays Sydney, a college frosh attempting to follow in the footsteps of her long-deceased but beloved mother, who meets a handsome Tyler Prince (Matt Long) and must endure the 'evil' manipulations by the 'evil' former prom queen, Rachel Witchburn (Sara Paxton). Jaded older teens may avoid it figuring a re-telling of Snow White is beneath them. That would be too bad because the film has a much better set of role models to follow than the vast majority of the other things pitched at them but really made by adults for adults.

The Game Plan (2007) [PG]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $13.00
Review-lite: Director Andy Flickman takes Kathryn Price and Nichole Millard's screen play, The Game Plan, and turns into one of the best early autumn 2007 films for the entire family. There's nothing that fancy here, just a really good story, with some nice twists and gender bending quotients, along with just enough comedy and drama to tickle the funny bone and tug at the heartstrings. Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the fictional Boston football team's illustrious quarterback, Joe Kingman, who suddenly finds himself a single father of a love's to dance and use her Bedazzler® to jewel-encrust everything little girl named Peyton (Madison Pettis). The two must learn to love each other and fast because Joe's career may depend on it, and Peyton has nowhere else to go. (click for full details and complete review)

The Hunting Party (2007) [R]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $12.75
Review-lite: Richard Shepard's film, The Hunting Party, inspired by the Esquire magazine article, "What I did on my Summer Vacation" by Scott Anderson gives us award-winning journalist Simon Hunt (Richard Gere) and his equally notable cameraman, Duck (Terrence Howard) as they embark on a journey through former war-torn Sarajevo in pursuit of a one of the world's most wanted war criminal masterminds. While the story has many, many valid points and great one-liners and a powerful moral underpinning, it digresses too much and too often. The result is a film that seems a bit lost in purpose and focus. Good intentions, good writing, good acting, find themselves unable to live up to the tenor of the true story which required them all to be great not just good.
