Stars:Plot:
By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever mounted, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is an engrossing actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Clint Eastwood returns as the "Man with No Name", this time teaming with two gunslingers (Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef) to pursue a cache of $200,000 - letting no one, not even warring factions in a civil war, stand in their way.

From sun-drenched panoramas to bold, hard closeups, exceptional camera work captures the beauty and cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it. Forging a vibrant and yet detached style of action that had not been seen before, and has never been matched since, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly shatters the western mold in true Clint Eastwood style.

My Thoughts:
This is my first Clint Eastwood western... I went in with maybe higher hopes then I should have... knowing that Clint Eastwood was well known for his westerns. I felt this one had a slow start... but in the end I really enjoyed the movie! Eastwood was definitely a bad-ass in this one! The feeling I got from this... even though it is a good movie I can see how someone wouldn't care for it... so I would suggest renting it before going out to buy it... though I am glad to have it in my collection!

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Marathon , a review by Critter

1.05
Never Kill a Boy on the First Date

Plot: Buffy's love life is looking up when she goes on a date with the normal Owen, but when Owen nearly gets killed during Buffy's battle to save Giles and the others from the Master's vampires, she decides that "normal" dating might be too dangerous after all.

My Thoughts: I thought this was a great episode, it worked very well to enhance the story of the 'Master' that has been lurking behind most of the episodes of this season, but also managed to include a story that was at times, very funny. The introduction of Owen was done well, he was a great character and it was almost a shame to see him go. This episode is really the first in what will be many episodes dealing with Buffy's issues balancing her slayer life with dating and I thought they did it well. The whole episode left me very intruiged of what will happen with the 'Master' in coming episodes.

Rating: 4/5
