I openly admit it – I like violent movies. We all know the Saw series is one of my favorites, and is known for showing grisly, graphic torture scenes.

Zombie attacks, big fiery explosions, giant robot/monster/dragon battles, bad-guy shootouts – I love them all! (About the only form of movie violence I don’t like is kung fu – too clean and choreographed-looking.)
