My Thoughts:
Brother and I just finished off this one... which of course finishes of the Rocky franchise. While I don't think it was as good as the previous film... it is one I enjoyed every moment of. Even though I hated what they did with the Adrian character, I do understand the reason behind it. Though it is still a little aggravating to see 3 of my favorite characters go... yet a character like Paulie is there till the very end. Just like all the previous movies... I definitely recommend seeing this one. And if you haven't seen the Rocky films in year like I haven't you should definitely revisit the franchise! They are all well worth watching!

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

My Thoughts:
I saw this one at the cinema at the time. A friend of mine had won multiple free tickets. When I recently rewatched the live-action remake of Aladdin, I got in the mood to rewatch that one. So I have added it to my collection.
It is a straight forward adaption of the story. No real surprises here. But I enjoyed it. But not a must-see.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


Angel: Season 1

7. Bachelor Party
Original Air Date: 11/16/1999


Guest Stars:
Kristin Dattilo
Carlos Jacott
Ted Kairys
Chris Tallman

My Thoughts:
A good episode... we find out a bit about Doyle's past in this one. Cordelia is really starting to like Doyle by now. But at this point she still don't know he is part demon. At the very end of this episode Doyle has a vision about Buffy... so this must be the prelude to the first time Angel goes back to Buffy for an episode.
