Evil Dead 2, a review by DragonfireEvil Dead II Ash (Bruce Campbell), the sole survivor of THE EVIL DEAD, returns to the same cabin deep in the woods and again unleashes the forces of the dead. With his girlfriend possessed by demons and his body parts running amok, Ash is forced to single-handedly battle the legions of the damned as the most lethal - and groovy - hero in horror movie history! Welcome to EVIL DEAD II: DEAD BY DAWN , director Sam Raimi's infamous sequel to THE EVIL DEAD and outrageous prequel to ARMY OF DARKNESS! This unhinged horror classic is now fully remastered in state-of-the-art Dolby Digital 5.1 supervised by THX and packed with extras. So, sit back, strap in and rev up the chainsaw: EVIL DEAD II has returned... like you've never seen or heard it before! My Thoughts Since I really enjoyed Evil Dead once I finally watched it this year, I decided to pick up the 2 sequels. I know there has been some issues over whether Evil Dead II is a sequel or remake. With how it starts off, I can see why some feel it is a remake. But I have read a few different things that say it is a sequel. The first several minutes are just intended to be a recap and there was some issue that prevented footage from the first movie being used. Once the recap is done, the movie picks up where the first one ends, with the evil force or whatever it is going after Ash. There is still gory violence in this movie, though I think there may be less than there had been in the first movie. There is a good amount of humor added, mostly from how Ash deals with certain things. Some people may not appreciate the humor, but I think it works really well for the movie and I like it. There is enough different with the new characters to keep it from being a complete copy of the first movie. The movie also sets up the next one in the series. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. I did manage to get a review posted on Epinions.

After making ShaneRatings Criterion4 Stars - Historically important film, considered a classic. (From Shane (1953) on February 19th, 2010) Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom21. Blind Date (2000-05-16) Writer: Jeannine Renshaw (Writer) Director: Thomas J. Wright Cast: David Boreanaz (Angel), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), Alexis Denisof (Wesley Wyndam-Pryce), Christian Kane (Lindsey McDonald), Thomas Burr (Lee Mercer), Stephanie Romanov (Lilah Morgan), Sam Anderson (Holland Manners), J. August Richards (Charles Gunn), Jennifer Badger Martin (Vanessa Weeks), Keilana Smith (Mind Reader #1), Dawn Suggs (Mind Reader #2), Charles Constant (Security Center Guard), Scott Berman (Vendor), Derek Anthony (Dying Black Man), Rishi Kumar (Blind Child #1), Karen Lu (Blind Child #2), Alex Buck (Blind Child #3) Angel meets female Daredevil. An okay episode but nothing really exciting. And why is it so easy for Angel to break into Wolfram & Hart from the sewers? They stretch the fact so much in the show, that Angel is essentially able to get anywhere he likes by going through the sewers. Rating: 22.
