This is coming from a person that while liked the idea of the TV series... never liked the series itself. But lets face it... the series is geared to a much younger crowd then me. This isn't the case with this film. It felt much more like an origin story of superheroes. Going into this film I wasn't sure it would be something I would enjoy and keep in my collection... Now I can say I enjoyed this film... it will be staying in my collection... and I would even like to see a sequel or two. I would say you should definitely give this one a chance even if you weren't a fan of the series.

It actually took 107 minutes

Pacino movies have started to become a bit tiresome for me as they almost always turn out to be an hour and a half to 2 hours of him shouting his dialogue. Surprisingly that wasn't the case this movie. His performance was decent but he so badly needed a haircut that it was literally a distraction to me.

I love whodunnits that keep you guessing to the end but not when they provide 40 possible suspects with motive to achieve that goal. Hell the key grip and two executive producers were suspects in this one! 

It was just ok.

Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom

01. The Freshman (1999-10-05)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Writer)
Director: Joss Whedon
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Seth Green (Oz), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Marc Blucas (Riley), Dagney Kerr (Kathy Newman), Pedro Balmaceda (Eddie), Katharine Towne (Sunday), Lindsay Crouse (Maggie Walsh), Mike Rad (Rookie), Shannon Hillary (Dav), Mace Lombard (Tom), Robert Catrini (Prof. Riegert), Scott Rinker (R.A.), Phina Oruche (Olivia), Denice J. Sealy (Student Volunteer), Evie Peck (Angry Girl), Anil Raman (Earnest Fellow), Jason Christopher (Nonserious Guy), Jane Silvia (Conservative Woman), Mark Silverberg (Passing Student), Walt Borchert (New Vampire)

As usual the season opener is one of the weaker episodes. But this one isn't as bad. I just find it curious, that Buffy had so much trouble fighting this rather average vamp.

Rating:



02. Living Conditions (1999-10-12)

Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Seth Green (Oz), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Dagney Kerr (Kathy Newman), Adam Kaufman (Parker Abrams), Clayton Barber (Demon 1), Walt Borchert (Demon 2), Roger Morrissey (Tapparich), David Tuchman (Freshman)

I never really cared for this episode. I didn't like the whole evil roommate storyline.
