This morning I found myself in the mood for some Harry Potter. Before now all I ever seen is (I believe) the first 2 films in the series... even though I own the first 6 films. Still need to add the last 2 to my collection. Hopefully I will be able to do that before too long. Anyway... back to this film... I found this one to be a good start to the series. It does a good job at introducing all the characters and has an interesting storyline. The film, while a bit on the long side at just over 2 and a half hours, don't feel long at all. It seemed to be over before I knew it. Definitely worth the watch.... looking forward to the next film in the series.

The Odessa Files, a review by Rich

A quick trip through Latvia...



The plot begins on November 22, 1963, the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Peter Miller, a young German reporter happens to see an ambulance on a highway. He chases the ambulance and discovers it contains an elderly Jewish Holocaust survivor who had committed suicide. The reporter obtains the diary of the man, which contains information on his life in the World War II camps, and the names of members of the SS who ran the camp. He makes up his mind to hunt the Nazi Eduard Roschmann who is mentioned in the diary, not just for a sensational cover story, but for a more serious personal reason.

Another powerful post-holocaust movie, superbly directed and acted. Based on thriller writer Freddie Forsyth book, the film masterfully blurs fiction and reality, mixed with tense action and suspense, to make a gem of a production. Recommended 6/10

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

16. Sleep Tight
Original Air Date: 3/4/2002
Angel is horrified to discover he's been drinking his own son's blood, and Wesley gets more than he bargained for when he tries to save Connor.

Guest Stars:
Stephanie Romanov
Laurel Holloman
Jack Conley
Marina Benedict
Keith Szarabajka

My Thoughts:
Another good episode.  It has been a couple episodes since Cordelia has not appeared on the show now. They have her on vacation. I am hoping to see her back soon now.The baby was taken to an alternate dimension... and Wesley had his throat sliced after betraying Angel. That last part I completely forgot about.

My Rating:
