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.

The Spaghetti West, a review by Antares

The Spaghetti West (2005) 65/100 - If you've never watched a "spaghetti" western it will give you a broad introduction. But it never really delves into the film making as a whole, and when Sergio Leone is the prime moving force in this sub-genre, some time has to be spent on how great an artist he was. It did give me a few more films that I'm curious to explore, although I'm finding myself getting frustrated with the oeuvre outside of Leone.

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

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

11. Ted (1997-12-08)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), David Greenwalt (Writer), Joss Whedon (Writer)
Director: Bruce Seth Green
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), John Ritter (Ted), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Robia LaMorte (Jenny Calendar), Ken Thorley (Neal), James G. MacDonald (Detective Stein), Jeff Langton (Vampire)

I never liked this episode very much. At the time I thought robots did not fit with the Buffyverse (though later on other robots came).
This was the first Buffy episode which had a "big" guest star. I think John Ritter did well.
What I liked about this episode is, when Buffy thinks she accidentally killed a human and how she handles it.

Rating:



12. Bad Eggs (0998-01-12)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Marti Noxon (Writer)
Director: David Greenwalt
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Jeremy Ratchford (Lyle Gorch), James Parks (Tector Gorch), Rick Zieff (Mr. Whitmore), Danny Strong (Jonathan), Brie McCaddin (Cute Girl), Eric Whitmore (Night Watchman)

A bodysnatcher episode. Although this is often seen as a weak episode, for some reason it had enough fun scenes in it, for me always enjoying watching it.

13. Surprise (1998-01-17)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Marti Noxon (Writer)
Director: Michael Lange
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Seth Green (Oz), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Robia LaMorte (Jenny Calendar), Brian Thompson (The Judge), Eric Saiet (Dalton), Vincent Schiavelli (Enios), James Marsters (Spike), Juliet Landau (Drusilla)

This episode introduces the idea, that on Buffy's birthday always something bad happens.
Nice that Oz is from now on part of the gang.

14. Innocence (1998-01-20)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Joss Whedon (Writer)
Director: Joss Whedon
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Seth Green (Oz), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Robia LaMorte (Jenny Calendar), Brian Thompson (The Judge), Ryan Francis (Soldier), Vincent Schiavelli (Enios), James Marsters (Spike), Juliet Landau (Drusilla), James Lurie (Teacher), Carla Madden (Woman), Parry Shen (Student)

Now the fun part begins! The Angelus story arc was always great turn of events. On Buffy I never really liked Angel, but when he became Angelus, he was really fun.
And the solution for defeating The Judge is a nice idea. Also we get a nice scene when Willow finds about Xander and Cordelia and tellls Xander off.
