Toss Up: Eastern Promises vs Saw V

Lazy Day Rainy Sunday Movie Picks

Up until now, Rainy Sundays has been about the movies we love to watch on legendary lazy days.

Movies we turn to when it’s time to curl up on the couch and enjoy an afternoon with a good sandwich. (Insert your favorite lunch here.)

But…

What happens when you can’t decide on that perfect movie?

What happens when you stare at your collection unable to decide how to spend your Rainy Sunday.

Welcome to Rainy Sundays Toss Up. A look at the random movies you almost watched and the ones that eventually win out.

I was at Shoppers Drug Mart the other day and I came upon a cheap DVD bin. 2 for $10!

How could I resist?

Most of the movies stunk but I did find two gems. Which one do I watch first?

Eastern Promises vs Saw V

I’ve seen Eastern Promises only once and I was thoroughly entertained. Watch it back to back with A History Of Violence if you’re looking for a great double feature.

I haven’t seen it since but I absolutely adored it.

I’ve never seen Saw V but I own the other 4. You have to complete the set right?

I was left with a decision.

Watch and enjoy a movie I’ve already seen or take a risk on a franchise I happen to love.

Tough call.

Eastern Promises.

I only get one Sunday a week and I work a lot so I wanted to revisit Viggo and crew. I didn’t regret a thing.

I’ll save Saw V for a late night viewing sometime this week.
