	The Ring Two (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The Ring Two is of course the sequel to The Ring.
		With all the things that went on during the first Ring movie, there was nothing left for the Ring Two to do but MORE cheap thrills in between borrowed gags from other thrillers and horror flicks.
		The difference between a bad movie and one that shouldn't have been made is that the latter has a lot to live up to and has the pressure of satisfying the fans of the story, whether it be a sequel or an adaptation from another text.

		This disk is composed of two rings, the outer A ring and inner B ring, separated by the Cassini division.
		The A ring is the outer of Saturn's two brightest rings.
		Observations of the rings with infrared and radio waves have shown that the sizes of the particles in the rings vary, from microscopic particles in the E and D rings, to sand- and pebble-sized particles in the C and F rings, to cobble- and boulder-sized particles in the A and B rings.

	the ring two (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In The Ring Two, the malevolent little-girl spirit Samara returns, but this time she isn't content to spread the word about the way her mother murdered her.
		I can envision a Ring Two in which the real victim of possession is Rachel, who is tricked by evil Samara into thinking her son is corrupted by the ghost, and goes insane and actually drowns the boy -- or is caught attempting to, like Evelyn, and gets locked away for life.
		Instead, The Ring Two becomes banal and literal, with Rachel getting sucked into the videotape's reality, where she goes down that old well again and sloshes around in that filthy water (Naomi Watts, please fire your agent) and confronts Samara one last time.

	"The Ring Two" - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In "The Ring Two," investigative reporter Rachel (Naomi Watts) and her young son, Aidan (David Dorfman), have left their Seattle home for a small coastal Oregon town, hoping to escape the horror wrought upon them by a killer videotape.
		The issue at the heart of "The Ring Two" is that "doing what anyone would do" is exactly the kind of thing that lands you in trouble: You can't escape the bad karma set in motion by just one murderously selfish deed.
		And two other interesting actors pop up: One of them is Sissy Spacek, who, with her rice-paper skin and perfectly chiseled nose, looks unnervingly like Michael Jackson here (her hair, dyed fl for the role, hangs down in lank strands).

	James Sanford reviews The Ring Two
		Although "Ring Two" was directed by Hideo Nakata, the much-celebrated creator of "Ringu," it could just as easily have been cranked out by one of the many Wes Craven wannabes out there.
		While a couple of scenes inspire a shiver or two (particularly a moment in which scratches on wallpaper erupt to form the shape of a burning tree, or a phantom materializes in a digital photograph), Nakata, perhaps feeling the constraints of the PG-13 rating, usually serves up visuals that are more often goofy than ghastly.
		"Ring Two" builds up to what's supposed to be the fright flick equivalent of "Sophie's Choice" but, despite Watts' best attempts to convey maternal anguish (between the gasps and terrified looks she also manages to squeeze in an in-joke about her friend Nicole Kidman's "Birth"), there's scarcely any emotional punch in the finale.

	The Ring Two @ Filmbug
		Ring Two opens with a drip of a boy trying to trick a girlfriend into watching "the" videotape as the clock winds down on his seven days.
		Ring Two has a bit more visual horror than Ring one (mostly gruesome face shots of Samara's victims) but it is much less frightening than the original.
		Despite the fact that I knew the "secrets" of the first Ring, it still kept me in a palpable state of fearful anticipation, which rather surprised me. The use of unseen or briefly seen horror was masterfully done in the first, and nearly absent in the second.

	The Ring Two
		The first ’Ring was a macabre tale centering on a mysterious videotape that caused anyone dumb enough to watch it to die within a week.
		Watts is the best thing about The Ring Two but you can’t help but feel that her talents might have been better spent elsewhere.
		The Ring Two, however, is only partially successful because it doesn’t take any real chances and as a result instills ambivalence, especially as far as another sequel is concerned (the set up for which, surprisingly, is not pushed down our throats in the closing reel).

	The Ring Two - Rotten Tomatoes
		Ring Two serves up horror cliches, and not even Hideo Nakata, the director of the movies from which this one is based, can save the movie from a dull screenplay full of absurdities.
		Weird horror isn't as rewarding as scary or creepy, and The Ring Two is definitely one of the bigger disappointments of late.
		Provides one or two jumps and they're suitably creative, but they don't represent the film as a whole which is, in short, a mess.

	Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of The Ring Two
		"The Ring Two" is enhanced by the introduction of original "Ringu" series director Hideo Nakata (also known for "Dark Water") but "The Ring's" writer, Ehren Kruger, circumvents the series' mythology in his new take on the sequel (this is not based on "Ringu 2").
		After a very effective prologue, which implies "Ring Two" will ramp up its AIDS metaphor by tackling the consequences of consciously passing the curse along, the Samara antidote of tape copying is dropped in favor of a possession story.
		Two scenes in particular – one involving a herd of very pissed off reindeer, another a suspenseful race to escape from a well and Samara’s moist clutches – show originality and imagination.

	Hollywood Gothique: The Ring Two (2005) - Film Review
		This is the sequel to THE RING (2002), the American remake of the excellent Japanese horror film RINGU, which itself spawned a RINGU 2 (although there is no connection between the plots of the two sequels).
		THE RING TWO also resumes the effective technique of hiding the sinister ghosts face behind her long fl hair and reducing her to being almost mute—turning her into a mysterious figure of evil almost beyond comprehension.
		The script for THE RING had them give the copy to a pedofile (played by Chris Cooper) who had tried to get Rachel to write a story exonerating him (she brushed him off because she knew he was lying).

	BLACK MOON - THE RING, A Japanese Ghost movie
		RING is an intrinsically Japanese yarn so chilling that even the most jaded Westerner cannot watch it without their blood running cold and their hair standing on end!
		The brilliance of RING is the way in which the film embraces the aesthetics of Japan's traditional Ghost story while presenting it's tale in a thoroughly modern context.
		RING is a fairly low budget film, but it doesn't suffer in the least for this due to its superior story telling.

	the ringworld - the Ring
		For this second adaptation of the Ring novel, director Nakata and screenwriter Takahashi Hiroshi chose to take a very different approach to the source material, ultimately producing a story that is more human and character-driven.
		Together, the two begin to identify the mass of jumbled images found on the videotape.
		The latter half of the Ring has Asakawa and Ryuji discovering that the video was in fact created by Sadako, who three decades ago was thrown into a well and left for dead.

	The Ring Two
		The Ring Two is a 2005 American horror film, a sequel to The Ring (2002), which was a remake of the Japanese film Ringu (1998).
		Just before the release of this sequel, The Ring was re-released with an extra disc that had a fifteen minute short film, Rings, which tied the knot between The Ring and The Ring Two.
		Evelyn insists that Samara had no father, other than an entity from the sea (a likely nod to the original Japanese Ringu, on which The Ring is based on) and advises Rachel to "be a good mother" and "listen to her baby" when she seeks advice on how to deal with Samara.

	The new and awesome RING TWO trailer is released in quicktime!!! -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and ...
		RING 0 was godawful and tried to explain too much at the expense of contradicting some of the previous films.
		RING 2 had that great chase up the well wall (glimpsed in the remake trailer), but other than that it was a pretty limp movie.
		If RING TWO is half as good as this trailer promises it to be, then I'm fully expected it to blow the Japanese film out of the water.

	The Ring/The Ring Two (Hans Zimmer)
		When The Ring Two entered the scene in 2005, Universal decided that the time was finally right to release both the original and sequel score together.
		The problem is, however, that the 2005 album does not differentiate between music from The Ring and original performances from The Ring Two, leading you to believe that there may have been a significant "cut and paste" operation in progress when the score for The Ring Two was being prepared.
		The Ring Two is a combination of rehash and remix that further muddies the waters.

	Thrill_Kill_Kult - Ring Two (2005) Grade: C-
		With the two Ring films and Peter Jackson’s upcoming King Kong, Watts could establish herself as the scream queen of her generation.
		The premise was razor sharp, presenting a videotape as a virus and human nature’s willingness to taste forbidden fruit as the vehicle for its spreading.
		Ring Two is nothing but genre conventions and repeatedly goes back to the well to drub up scares that aren’t there anymore (unless you’re the prepubescent girls that sat behind me).

		Samara, the vengeful ghost from The Ring, slithers from her videocassette purgatory to terrorize Naomi Watts and David Dorfman again in The Ring Two.
		While The Ring Two is intelligent and consistently involving, in general it lacks the atmospheric touches and sense of dread that make both the original and the American remake so memorable.
		Despite being afflicted with a mild case of "sequelitis," The Ring Two is still head and shoulders above such recent horror films as Boogeyman and Hide and Seek.

	Rambles: The Ring Two
		In The Ring, all of the symbolic clues, especially those in the videotape, basically led to something -- namely, Samara's story and the location of her body.
		The Ring Two does not lay out such a clear pathway for the hero or viewer; the symbology is much deeper and abstract this time around.
		I really liked the idea played with over these 15-20 minutes -- that of an underground network of teens who have watched the videotape, recorded their increasingly disturbing experiences for as long as they could stand it and then passed it on to a fellow newbie before their seven days were up.

	TheMovieBoy Review - The Ring Two (2005)
		Set shortly after the disturbing events of "The Ring," newspaper reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) and son Aidan (David Dorfman) have moved from the hustle and bustle of Seattle to the assumably quieter surroundings of Astoria, Oregon.
		Unlike in "The Ring" and 2004's also-better "The Grudge," the Asian-influenced background and studied suspense of "The Ring Two" is mostly missing-in-action, replaced by predictable slasher flick theatrics.
		"The Ring Two" grabs the viewer's attention by default—it moves fast and isn't without its freakish images—but a sinking feeling gradually puts a pall over the fun as it becomes obvious the film was rushed into production without much thought or faithfulness into the first picture's lore.

	The Israeli Spy Ring
		Since then, any and all mention of the Israeli spy ring and phone tapping scandal has resulted in a barrage of shrill screams of "hate" and "anti-Semite", two well worn and frankly over used devices to try to silence discussion on any topic unfavorable to the nation which owns the spy ring in question.
		The story of the uncovering of the largest spy ring ever discovered inside the United States should be the story of the century, if indeed the US media is looking out for the best interests of the American people.
		That the spy ring includes companies able to track and tap into any phone in America, including the White House, should be a cause celebre', if indeed the US media is looking out for the best interests of the American people.
