I had an extremely hard time getting into this movie as it crawls at a very slow pace... at times I caught myself nodding off.    It does achieve a satisfying climax but not good enough I believe to make up for the rest of the movie.

Tommy Lee Jones was good, having never had problems effectively playing a sleazeball. He's the man pulling all the strings. Very low key performance from Sting who exudes quiet confidence. Everyone's favorite rocket scientist Melanie Griffith is predictable, floating prettily from scene to scene, buoyed by the air in her head. Early role for Sean Bean who will go on to have better and more meaningful roles.

Save for about 15 minutes near the end this one is very dull.

10. Reunion
Original Air Date: 12/19/2000
Angel goes on a frantic search after Drusilla turns Darla back into a vampire, and he must catch them before she rises again and the two go back to their old ways and paint the town red.

Guest Stars:

Sam Anderson
Julie Benz as Darla
Juliet Landau

My Thoughts:
Another excellent episode. I really enjoyed every minute of this one. I especially enjoyed seeing the newly vamped Darla back together with Drusilla. I been meaning to mention Cordelia's new haircut for the past few episodes. I do not care much for it at all... shorter and darker. It just don't look right to me.

My Rating:
