...Let’s cut off someone’s hands and feet... with bombs!” or, my personal favorite, “Let’s cut someone in half... with acid!”. Standard “Saw” tropes like head-mounted traps, automated shotguns, self amputation, and smashing extremities to escape bondage make up the bulk of the film, while the few original elements (such as a maze filled with hot steam) are the least interesting of the mutilation machines.

Finally, nestled in the center of the exhibition, is the ultimate encounter: the mummy itself. Only the head remains, a brown, distorted thing, its features drooping after chemical alterations and years underground.

Zuma responded angrily, saying, "Madiba (as Mandela is known) does not belong to a foundation but to the ANC." Nor has the foundation always been successful at stopping people from using his name or likeness. Four years ago, the organization tried to block the Belgravia Gallery in London from selling around 100 lithographs...
