Plot:
In this zany Czechoslovakian comedy, a scientist invents a machine that projects a sleeping person's dream on a screen. The trouble begins when she tries the contraption out on her husband and discovers his dreams are filled with cartoon-like characters doing outrageous things. Naturally, the scientist is quite shocked. Believing that such frivolous fantasies just won't do, she tries to manipulate his dreams. Disaster soon follows when the machine malfunctions and the dream characters become very real.

Ratatouille, a review by RossRoy

WHAT THEY SAY

From the creators of Cars and The Incredibles comes a breakthrough comedy with something for everyone. With delightful new characters, experience Paris from an all-new perspective. It's "terrific moviemaking!" raves Leonard Maltin of Entertainment Tonight. In one of Paris' finest restaurants, Remy, a determined young rat, dreams of becoming a renowned French chef. Torn between his family's wishes and his true calling, Remy and his pal Linguini set in motion a hilarious chain of events that turns the City of Lights upside down. Ratatouille is a treat you'll want to enjoy again and again.

MY THOUGHTS

And another winner by Pixar. It's a good little story. I did find the whole Remy controlling Linguini to be going a bit far, but it's a kid story again so you have to hhave some magic in there! The animation is, as usual, top notch. Some expressions on the characters are priceless. The movie almost would make you accept to have rats in your kitchen!

Blendell (Jinx), Amber Benson (Tara), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Amelinda Embry (Katrina), Paul Darrigo (Driver), Gil Christner (Resident), Kelly Felix (Teenager), Paul Walia (Friend)

Evan Bonifant (Kevin Berman), Kelli Garner (Kirstie), Rae'ven Larrymore Kelly (Lisa), Tia Matza (Teacher), John Michael Herndon (Vampire)

One of the best Buffy episodes of the entire series. Very heart-wrenching with great performances.

Rating:



5.17 Forever
Writer: Marti Noxon (Writer)
Director: Marti Noxon
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Emma Caulfield (Anya Jenkins), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn Summers), James Marsters (Spike), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), David Boreanaz (Angel), Clare Kramer (Glory), Charlie Weber (Ben), Troy T. Blendell (Jinx), Amber Benson (Tara), Joel Grey (Doc), Todd Duffey (Murk), Andrea Gall (Customer), Alan Henry Brown (Funeral Director), Darius Dudley (Minister), Annie Talbot (Lady With Baby), Noor Shic (Lady with Rosary)

Disappointing after the previous episodes. The plot where someone tries to use a resurrection spell on a loved one is tired.

Rating:



5.18 Intervention
Writer: Jane Espenson (Writer)
Director: Michael Gershman
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Emma Caulfield (Anya Jenkins), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn Summers), James Marsters (Spike), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Clare Kramer (Glory), Adam Busch (Warren Meers), Troy T. Blendell (Jinx), Amber Benson (Tara), Sharon Ferguson (Primitive), Todd Duffey (Murk), Kelly Donovan)

The "First Slayer" storyline is boring. But the Buffybot provides fun, and Spike gets to proof himself at the end.

Rating:



5.19 Tough Love

Director: David Grossman
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Emma Caulfield (Anya Jenkins), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn Summers), James Marsters (Spike), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Clare Kramer (Glory), Charlie Weber (Ben), Troy T. Blendell (Jinx), Anne Betancourt (Principal Stevens), Leland Crooke (Prof. Lillian), Amber Benson (Tara), Todd Duffey (Murk), Alan Heitz (Slook), Pat Skipper (Doctor (uncredited))

Glory thinks that Tara is the key and goes after her. The beginning of the finale.
