Chasing Amy is the third installment in the "New Jersey Trilogy" from award-winning writer/director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma). Cult comic-book artist Holden (Ben Affleck) falls in love with fellow artist Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams), only to be thwarted by her sexuality, the disdain of his best friend Banky (Jason Lee), and his own misgivings about himself. Filled with Smith's unique ear for dialogue and insight into relationships, Chasing Amy offers a thoughtful, funny look at how perceptions alter lives, and how obsession and self-doubt skew reality.

Video Introduction

I haven't seen this movie for a while. It is still great. Probably the best Kevin Smith movie (though I enjoy watching some of his other movies more due to their geek factor ).
Nice to see Ethan Suplee here in the role of a fan. He also had a minor role in Mallrats. He will later join up with Jason Lee in "My Name Is Earl".

Brian Doyle-Murray as Buster
Marita Geraghty as Nancy

Plot:
Bill Murray is at his wry, wisecracking best in this riotous romantic comedy about a weatherman caught in a personal time warp on the worst day of his life. Teamed with a relentlessly cheerful producer (Andie MacDowell) and a smart-aleck cameraman (Chris Elliott), TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities. But on his way out of town, Phil is caught in a giant blizzard, which he failed to predict, and finds himself stuck in small-town hell. Just when things couldn't get worse, they get worse; Phil wakes the next morning to find it's Groundhog Day all over again... and again... and again.

I decided to watch this one this evening. This is a film I haven't seen in many years! And obviously never on Blu-ray til today. This film is a romantic comedy... but at the same time much more. There is lots of fun.. and there is a bit of depression. I don't know if this is the first film that uses the whole reliving the day over and over again thing... but it is definitely the most well known. And a must see. I really enjoyed every minute of seeing this one again.

18. Five by Five
Original Air Date: 4/25/2000

Guest Stars:
Julie Benz
Christian Kane
Thomas Burr

Stephanie Romanov
Eliza Dushku

My Thoughts:
Not only do we get flashbacks of when Angelus first gets his soul back... but we also have Faith coming to town. Awesome episode! Faith really roughed up Wesley a bit!
