28 Days Later ... the infected are here!

Advantages: Frity British horror film
Disadvantages: None

***Why I watched 28 days later*** As I true horror fan I always try to watch new film releases. Unfortunately for me my partner does not share my enthusiasm so most of the time I only end up watching the film when they are released on dvd. I love the original zombie style horrors so when I read a review about a new British post-apocalyptic horror film by director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, The Beach) I flew down to the video shop to rent it. ***The ...
...learns that during the last 28 days he has slept through the effects of the 'rage' virus. The highly contagious infection seems to have spread quickly because it is spread through blood and renders a victim helpless within seconds, leaving them as deadly killer, referred to as 'the infected'. Unable to take in recent events Jim is desperate to get home to his parents, but Selena and Mark do not want to leave the sanctury of their hideout. After deciding ...

Once More With Feeling- love it!!!

Advantages: funny, musical, good for anyone even if not buffy fan, brilliant acting
Disadvantages: slightly cheesy

...when watching this episode of buffy is that it is FANTASTIC! Everything works so well together. The comedy, the music, the fighting. Brilliant. I will admit that i am biased as an addicted Scooby but i feel that anyone who hasnt been won over by the Buffy series before, this will definetly hit you with the buffy bug. Who knew they could all sing. This is even one for those who want to sit in and watch a classic musical. Even though it is a part of ...
...and one of my top ten that i own. The continuing of one of the forbidden loves of all time between buffy and spike. The first fight of the loved up witches. There is something for all in this feature length episode. You dont want to miss ou on it. ...

A PLACID HORROR

Advantages: Short and funny
Disadvantages: Not really scary or original

...Film Only Review Lake Placid tells the typical story of a small town plagued by an under water killer, but, is given a new look by the fact that this small town is located in the mountains, not the beach, making it very difficult for a shark to give them problems. However the killer I mention is not a shark, but a crocodile, and a big, big one to that. Lake Placid has to a witty script, by David E. Kelley , that contains some wonderfully twisted ...
...not the towns mysterious deaths can be related to a bear or a crocodile, when suddenly a bear comes charging out of the woods, before being eaten whole by the giant croc. Oh the hilarious, totally unoriginal sense of Irony. This sense of humour is something that runs through the script. Even the characters are a quirky, unique lot that you wouldn't trust to protect a field, let alone an entire town, and thankfully the cast have done perfectly in ...

Where it All Began

Advantages: Great series, funny and thrilling.
Disadvantages: Some of the effects are a little outdated.

...true must have for any Buffy fan, this is the series that started it all. Join the original 'Scooby Gang' of Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Willow (Alyson Hannigan) and Xander (Nicholas Brendon) along with Buffy's watcher Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) as they embark on their very first adventures together in the somewhat ironically named 'Sunnydale', through the trials and tribulations of being teenagers, the responsibilty of being a butt-kicking ...
...'hell' that is high school. The special effects might not be wonderful by todays standards - but it is what it is. Great fun to watch the characters as they started out on somewhat hesitant ground, and some of the most original and great work of BTVS. Not to be missed. ...

The City of Angels

Advantages: Some very good episodes
Disadvantages: Some very bad episodes

...Angel. Whilst I don't think Angel holds a candle to Buffy, it's still a very good show and gives you the other side of the story to some of the Buffy plots. --Investigating Angel-- A little bit about the show itself before I get into the review of the season one box set. Angel the series is a spin-off show from the very successful Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Like the title suggests, the show revolves around Angel - the vampire with a soul, who is ...
...Buffy's season three, Angel left Sunnydale and headed to LA - which is where this series takes place. He's only been there a short while when he accrues a gang and opens a business - Angel Investigations - who aim to help the helpless. That's the basic premise of the show, for the first season at least. As with all ongoing shows, the plots and characters become more and more complex as time progresses. --Characters-- The lead character is, obviously, ...
