Vincent Vega has just come back from Amsterdam and he get's two new jobs from his underground boss Marsellus Wallace: first he is to retrieve a certain suitcase of Marsellus' and second to give Marsellus' wife a nice evening. The boxer Butch gets only one assignment by Marsellus: to go down in the fifth round of tonight evening's fight.

My opinion:
I would say that this is "the Tarantino movie". Despite its unorthodox structure of storytelling it is clear in the end what happened and in what order. But because of this "unordered" structure the first-time-watcher can't tell, when the movie is going to end and that makes it interesting.

Jack the Ripper, a review by Eric

Jack the Ripper


I've always been intrigued and interested by movies based on real serial killers like "Jack the Ripper" and "The Boston Strangler" (Not sure that's the correct title though).

This version of JTR however left me on my appetite, I found it totally uninteresting, the script isn't very good and the quality of sound and image are very low.

Score:

Charmed Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

17. Scry Hard
Zankou (Oded Feher) is determined to find the Nexus and release the Shadow, the ultimate power. For their own protection, Piper and Leo are magically miniaturized and trapped inside a dollhouse.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode. The first really serious attempt by Zankou.

18. Little Box Of Horrors
The mythological Pandora's Box falls into the hands of a shapeshifting demon who wants to open the box and release all the wickedness it contains. The Charmed Ones must find the Guardian who can return the released evil spirits to the box.

My Thoughts:
This is a good... but standard episode. Not surprising they got around to doing an episode about Pandora's Box. The show is pretty good about hitting all the big mythology items. (or whatever you would call it).

19. Freaky Phoebe
A power-hungry sorceress switches souls and tries to gain control of the Underworld while armed with Phoebe's identity and power. Phoebe, a prisoner in the sorceress's body, is accidentally vanquished by her sister.

My Thoughts:
This episode is alright... but I think it could have been better. Definitely not one of my favorites. In this episode Paige gets her first true charge as a whitelighter. Which of course they are able to work into the episode where they need his help.

20. Imaginary Fiends
Baby Wyatt's imaginary friend is actually a demon trying to gain his trust to turn him evil. Piper's spell inadvertently brings an evil 25-year old Wyatt back from the future who now wants to crush the good in baby Wyatt.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode. I really enjoyed seeing the older Wyatt again. Wish they were able to fit in Chris as well. We get to see both a good and evil version of Wyatt in this episode. You can tell someone that don't watch the show wrote the plot to this episode... as the Evil Wyatt did not want to "crush" baby Wyatt... just the opposite... he had to be sure he was safe and away from his family so he would stay good. if he destroyed baby Wyatt.. he would have destroyed himself as well.
