ReviewThe Adventures of Robin HoodCasablancaRatings Criterion
- The pinnacle of film perfection and excellence.
- Not quite an immortal film, yet a masterpiece in its own right.
- Historically important film, considered a classic.
- Borderline viewable.
- A gangrenous and festering pustule in the chronicles of celluloid.

Stars:Plot:Extras:

I really enjoyed this film and thought that the transfer from the written page worked very well. The only problem I had was with the Station Inspector played by Sacha Baron Cohen. Mr Cohen played this man like a bumbling fool speaking in franglais as per the RAF pilot employed as a gendarme in the BBC TV series 'allo 'allo. All the other characters spoke normally why did the inspector have to idiotised.

Rating: would have been a but for that mentioned above.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

13. Waiting in the Wings
Original Air Date: 2/4/2002
While attending a performance by a renowned ballet company that he also saw back in 1890. Angel realizes that nothing has changed - including the dancers.

Guest Stars:
Mark Harelik
Mark Lutz
Summer Glau

My Thoughts:
This may be my least favorite episode of Angel. It is definitely my least favorite up to this point. I always found this one to be just slow and boring. Especially the scenes in the Ballet. Until today I never realized that the Prima Ballerina was played by Summer Glau (Firefly & Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles).

My Rating:
