A nice little movie with some interesting time-travel. But in all it misses the little something. Though it is still worth to check it out.

Open Season, a review by Dragonfire

Boog (Martin Lawrence), a domesticated grizzly bear with no survival skills, has his perfect world turned upside down when he meets Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a scrawny, fast-talking mule deer. They join forces to unite the woodland creatures and take the forest back into nature's control! It's a film for the whole family that Shawn Edwards ('Fox-TV') calls, "a fun story loaded with lovable characters!"

My Thoughts

This is a cute entertaining movie, though it wasn't as good as the Pixar movies.  Boog on a sugar high after having chocolate for the first time was very funny. Some of the humor was a bit silly and there were a few gross jokes, but the movie was entertaining overall.  Boog had been raised basically as a pet and he had no survival skills, so it didn't make the most sense for him to taken out in the wild and left like he was though.  But if that hadn't happened, there wouldn't have been much of a movie.  The voice cast fit their characters very well and there were several cute characters.  The DVD has a cute little animated short with Boog and Elliot too that is funny.

 

I posted a review on Epinions after I first saw the movie if anyone would like to take a look.

6.22 Grave
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), David Fury (Writer), Joss Whedon (Writer)
Director: James A. Contner
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Emma Caulfield (Anya), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn Summers), James Marsters (Spike), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Anthony Stewart Head (Rupert Giles), Danny Strong (Jonathan Levinson), Tom Lenk (Andrew Wells), Steven W. Bailey (Cave Demon), Brett Wagner (Trucker)

The conclusion is better than the previous episode. I liked that it is Xander, the one without any superpowers, who saves the day.
I am not sure of it was on purpose by Joss Whedon, but I had the feeling that he was giving his opinion on this season through Giles. The first season which wasn't headed by him. When Buffy confesses all the bad things which she did this season concluding with her sleeping with Spike, Giles gets a laughing fit because of the absurdity of it and then tells her, that he (Giles/Joss) should have been here.
