My Thoughts:
This is the first time that I have seen this movie. I enjoyed the mix between medieval and modern style. This mainly effects the music (classic rock) and fashion. But it also shows in how the tournaments are potrayed. It is shown more like a modern sport event. Heath Ledger was perfectly cast as William. Also Alan Tudyk (Wash from Firefly) was fun to watch. The guy who played Chaucer reminded me very much of the character Adam Monroe from "Heroes". I couldn't believe that it isn't the same guy.Rating:

My Thoughts:
Until I seen Lorne (The Host) on the cover I completely forgot about the karaoke bar. Now I am not looking forward to this season as much. The very first scene is Lorne singing a little. Then there was 2 more scenes in the bar through-out the episode. Including Angel singing (badly) Mandy. But other then that... it was a good episode... with some decent action. But I had to laugh at the end of the episode when Angel went to visit Faith in jail. And they were comparing how bad their day was... after listening to Faith say how she was attacked by another inmate with a make-shift knife and how she disarmed her but didn't killer her. Then she was beat by the guards. Angel came back with well I had to sing Barry Manilow... in front of people. We also get our first look at the old hotel that will eventually become the new home base for Angel and his team.
