Rogue's Review:

The title is a double entendre & the film is a conundrum

The Ring has to be one of the most intense films of its genre I've ever experienced, with one scene so genuinely creepy I was literally rubbing my palms on my legs like an 8-year old (if you've caught the movie you know which scene I'm referring to - dare we ever watch tv again?!).

Naomi Watts was the main reason I succumbed to seeing this movie and she never makes a false move, she's the real thing, a brilliant actor, and everyone else is stunningly convincing as well. And there are some very cool effects in the film - for example: did anyone besides me happen to notice the -=-minor spoiler =-= SUBLIMINAL ring that appears about halfway through the movie, during a scene-to-scene transition? That was a very cool touch, in my book, and I also got off on how, by the end, you realize that the title is a double entendre and the film itself presents its main characters (Naomi and her son) with a very scary conundrum (it's no coincidence that the boy learns this word in the course of the proceedings). I have to get my hands on Ringu, but I do not think I would want to watch it at home, on my (gasp) tv - perhaps I can rent a small theatre and have a private screening, something like that.
