It Waits, a review by Jimmy

Title : It Waits (2004)

OverviewMy Impression
Nice one that looks really like an eighties film. The scare come more from the general mood of the movie than from the creature itself, in fact we have to wait a long time to really see it (something that I've always appreciated) and when it finally happen I was happy to see a man in a suit and not a CGI thing. But sadly they had used some CGI when the creature flies, it doesn't match really well and, honestly, you can do it with a blue screen much better. Cerina Vincent is surprisingly good in the movie (for the reviewer her white shirt was certainly a distraction), since most of the time she is alone. The rest of the acting is correct also. Some ideas could be more developped, but I've appreciated this one in general.

I must say... this one came off to me to be more weird then anything. It had it's moments but I found it had a hard time keeping my attention. It does have it's moments here and there though. And it was a good idea for a story. I just found it difficult to care about the characters. Over all no more then an average film.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Season 1 Episode 17: First Kiss
When Harvey and Sabrina finally kiss on Valentine's Day, Harvey's turned into a frog, and Sabrina has to go through a series of tests to turn him back.

My Thoughts:
A fun episode. I liked the whole test thing they put Sabrina through... was worth a few chuckles.
