The Dentist 2: Brace Yourself, a review by addicted2dvd

The Dentist 2: Brace Yourself
Years ago demented dentist Dr.Alan Feinstone (Corbin Bernsen) was sentenced to spend his life in a maximum security mental hospital. Now, he's escaped and determined to practice -AGAIN. Resettling in the tiny farm town of Paradise, the good doctor conveniently disposes of the local dentist and he's open for business! within moments of wielding a scalpel on his first patient, he is transformed into his former deranged self. The more patients Alan sees, the more brutal his cleaning techniques become. When a few residents suspect something peculiar about the town's new dentist, Alan vows to treat them all before they drill up his chilling past.

My Thoughts:
Every since I heard of the first Dentist movie coming out I thought it was a good idea as it plays on a lot of people's fear of dentists. Even though I never had that fear myself I did enjoy the first movie. I have had the sequel for a couple years now... it was a birthday gift and was looking forward to seeing it... but for some reason kept getting pushed back on my "To Watch" list.  Now that I have watched it I can say I did enjoy it... is a decent sequel. But I did enjoy the first one much more then this one. Unfortunately even though this was a decent sequel... the ending kinda ruined it for me... as it had a ridiculous (for the story told) ending. This is a decent DVD release.. nothing to special but nothing bad either. The only extras we get is some trailers and bios/filmographies for stars and the director.

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

13. The Zeppo (1999-01-26)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Dan Vebber (Writer)
Director: James Whitmore Jr.
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Seth Green (Oz), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Saverio Guerra (Willy), Channon Roe (Jack), Michael Cudlitz (Bob), Eliza Dushku (Faith), Darin Heames (Parker), Scott Torrence (Dickie), Whitney Dylan (Lysette), Vaughn Armstrong (Cop)

I always liked the idea, that they pushed the apocalypse storyline to background, and that we the worst that they have ever faced only in bits and pieces when Xander's storyline crosses the others'. Even the typical Buffy/Angel drama is made fun of this way.

Faith's turn to the dark side. And the introduction of Wesley. A good episode.

15. Consequences (1999-02-16)

Director: Michael Gershman

Todd Freeman (Mr. Trick), Jack Plotnick (Deputy Mayor), Alexis Denisof (Wesley Wyndam-Pryce), James G. MacDonald (Detective Stein), Eliza Dushku (Faith), Amy Powell (T.V.

I always liked the reaction when Willow learns about Xander and Faith. "I do not need to say "Oh!", I could it before"
