Don't Look Down, a review by addicted2dvd

Don't Look Down
One fateful day, as Carla's boyfriend snapped photos, Carla's sister fell through the loose railing and plummeted over a cliff to a tragic death. Ever since, Carlahas been haunted by visions of her angry sister blaming her. As a result, Carla has developed an unnatural and paralyzing fear of heights.

To overcome her acrophobia, she joins a support group. But when the support group members start getting killed one by one, Carla begins to suspect her sister's accident was no accident - and that she has been the real target all along.

My Thoughts:
This was a 1998 TV Movie. It is a good movie... I really did enjoy it. I wouldn't say it is really that scary... but it does have a bit of an effect on me since I do have a touch of a fear of heights. Unfortunately this DVD has no extras what so ever.

Waterhole #3, a review by Rogmeister

Waterhole #3 (1967)  95m

Directed by William Graham
Cast: James Coburn, Carroll O'Connor, Claude Akins, Timothy Carey, Harry Davis, Bruce Dern
Balladeer: Roger Miller

This is a satirical western involving stolen army gold and the various people who are after it including conman Coburn, sheriff O'Connor (and his daughter), army deserter Akins and others.  And just when you think you know who's going to wind up with it, there's another twist in the storyline.  At the very end, we still aren't shown who winds up with the loot as one last chase has begun and "The End" shows up on the screen...you get to make your own decision who winds up with the gold.  Throughout the movie, there is a song that goes on, a ballad sung by Roger Miller.  I enjoyed that, but I've always liked his music...someone who isn't crazy about that kind of music might not be as appreciative as I.  Overall, I enjoyed the film...it's not quite your normal western.

Angel Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: The gang has to flee from Jasmine and Connor and hides in the sewers of the city. There they meet a group of people that has been there since the days the sun went dark. But there is another and older creature down there, too.

My Opinion: Jasmine is Rumpelstiltskin. Obviously the bad guys do not talk to each other. While Jasmine tries in L.A. to turn the world into paradise, the "First Evil" tries in Sunnydale to turn it into hell. But I liked the episode better than the last two.

Synopsis: Angel is in a dimension which Jasmine has visited before but the others are held prisoner in the very same cage Angelus was in. And today Jasmine wants to bring her message of peace to the entire world - via satellite TV.

My Opinion: That was surprisingly fast with Jasmine's demise and one episode to early. But Angel is right, one cannot force happiness. It may not be a perfect world, but it's our world, formed by our free will.

Synopsis: Angel is offered the L.A. departement of Wolfram & Hart because he destroyed the Ideal World of Jasmine's. Of course he has no intentions of taking this offer.

My Opinion: If Wolfram & Hart really thinks they can control Angel, I think there's a big surprise waiting for them in the fifth season. But the tour was interesting.

The Season - My Opinion: I am in two minds about this season. I really don't like what the writers did to Cordelia and they didn't even wake her up at the end of the season. On the other hand her part was the most interesting. When she fell into the coma she took something with her and jasmine couldn't replace it. I hope Cordelia comes back as herself in the next season. They have built a foundation of why she can't be with Angel and thus avoiding that he gets a "moment of true happiness".
