Buffy Takes the Initiative

Advantages: Some amazing episodes, great seasonal arc and great performances
Disadvantages: One or two bad episodes

...boards that season four of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is where the show lost its way. I disagree - in my opinion the show only got bigger and better with each season. In season four, Buffy and Willow head off to the local university, whilst Xander moves into his parents basement and tries to find a direction in life. Giles is feeling a little useless with no job and nothing to do. I don't want to repeat the general information I put into my review ...
...the local UC Sunnydale, but Buffy soon finds herself in over her head. A vampire gang who kill students and steal their belongings soon appears, and it's up to Buffy to deal with them. This is a great season opener - we the viewer are plunged into the unfamiliar world of college along with Buffy, which works really well. Episode Two: Living Conditions Buffy has to deal with her annoying roommate in this episode - and she thinks there's something ...

A Waste of 2 Hours 6 Minutes

Advantages: Hugh Jackman is convincing as Van Helsing
Disadvantages: Kate Beckinsale is useless, weak plot

...or 'it was fantastic', but Van Helsing actually prompted unusually strong negative feelings from me. Legendary monster hunter Van Helsing, is sent to Transylvania, along with the obligatory bumbling sidekick, to defeat the infamous and powerful vampire, Count Dracula. Once there he is joined by a Gypsy princess who is the last living member of her family, and wants to defeat Dracula in order to lift her family's ancient curse. Van Helsing is played ...
...made and the legend of Van Helsing, and a blooper reel. There's also a feature that allows you to explore Dracula's castle, which basically means you click on bits of the scenery and it tells you about it, and a feature called 'You are in the movie', which sounds like it could be interesting, but it's just where they've stuck mini hidden cameras around the set and on the main cameras to give you a different vantage point on the filming, which is ...

Fangtastic!

Advantages: Outstanding episodes such as Passion and Becoming
Disadvantages: Go Fish.

Buffy season 2. Where the series really hit it's stride. This was the season that had it all, from vampires and ghosts, to the even more evil Principal Snyder. This series introduced a true mainstay of Buffy episodes to come. The amazing James Martsers as William the Bloody, more commonly known as Spike, and his crazy girlfriend Drusilla. This season was darker than the first, with the powerful twist of a friend turning deadly enemy, the death of ...
...also gifted with the amazing episode Passion, which to describe would spoil the impact for those who have not seen it, but is nevertheless one of the entire series finest episodes. The DVD itself is packed full of extras, from TV spots and trailers to several featurettes and audio commentaries and also a stills gallery. If you are a fan of the show you should already have this. If you have never heard of Buffy, get this now! ...
