Nancy Drew, a review by addicted2comics

Nancy Drew

The Plot: Nancy Drew is mvoing for a little while to California with her father, and in the mean time she promises him she'll give up sleuthing. He didn't know Nancy picked a house to live in with a mystery. Soon she is sucked into finding the will of an actress with a mysterious death.

My Thoughts: It was a fun movie, and it's funny how everybody else is modern while Nancy is practically stuck in the 1950s. (My dad and I could argue for hours about that, so let's move on!) It has it's funny moments, like in the begining one robber had to tell the other, "Dude, please don't thank her for turning us in!" Still, I say the movie is pretty cool, a little above average, so I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Night of the Hunter, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Night of the Hunter
Year: 1955
Genre: Suspense/Thriller, Drama
Length: 1hr.33min.
Stars: Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters

Plot:
The Night of the HunteMy Thoughts:
While watching this film I wasn't sure if I seen this one or not. Some things seemed familiar while others didn't. Of course some of it could be from pop culture like the love/hate tattoos on his fingers. But the eerie singing as he walked seemed familiar to me and not sure how else that would be. I liked this one a lot! there was a few slow scenes in it to me buta great film over all and I would definitely highly recommend it. I had to borow a copy to watch it, so hoping to add it to my collection before too long.

My Rating:
4.5 out of 5

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

03. Witch (1997-03-17)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Dana Reston (Writer)
Director: Stephen Cragg
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Elizabeth Anne Allen (Amy), Robin Riker (Catherine), Jim Doughan (Mr. Pole), Nicole Prescott (Lishanne), Amanda Wilmshurst (Senior Cheerleader), William Monaghan (Dr. Gregory)

This belongs to my least favorite episodes of the first season. Though I liked the resolution to the story.
Also I would have liked to see Amy more often. Sadly she came not back often and when she did, she was there to be a bad influence on Willow in later seasons.


04. Teacher's Pet (1997-03-24)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), David Greenwalt (Writer)
Director: Bruce Seth Green
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), David Boreanaz (Angel), Ken Lerner (Principal Flutie), Musetta Vander (Miss Natalie French), Jackson Price (Blaine), Jean Speegle Howard (Real Miss French), William Monaghan (Dr. Gregory), Jack Knight (Homeless Guy), Michael Ross Verona (Teacher), Karim Oliver (Bud #1)

Probably my least favorite episode of all. Stupid story with no real coherence. No funny jokes which could save the episode.

How did Buffy come to the conclusion that Ms. French is an insect? "Oh, I saw her turning her head 180 degrees. She must be an insect!", "I looked a little into insect books. Of what I have read, she must be a Praying Mantis! Those clothes she's wearing is the final proof for this!"
How convenient that there is a strange vampire around who can sense Ms. French from outside her house. But why did he run up to her the first time around and only when she looked at him, he went running?

The final shot they're hinting that a She-Mantis could be back for another time. Boy am I glad that they never followed up on this!
