A musical I have enjoyed since I have first seen this movie. I even did watch this musical in a well-done stage version once.
As it is well-known, Audrey Hepburn's singing voice was replaced by the voice of Marni Nixon. In the special features section there are two songs where we get to hear Hepburn's original singing voice intact. I think they could have at least kept her voice for the first part of the movie, where Eliza is still her old self. I think her voice would have fit perfectly there.

Hostel Part II, a review by addicted2dvd

Hostel Part II
Presented by Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill, Vol. 1 & 2) and written and directed by Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever), HOSTEL PART II is the shocking and gruesome sequel of the underground torture ring where rich businessmen pay to torture and murder their victims.

The second installment to this terrifying franchise centers around three young American women (Lauren German, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Bijou Phillips, Bully and Heather Matarazzo, Welcome to the Dollhouse) who are studying in Rome. They are lured into a hostel by a beautiful young woman who sells them as the next victims of a murder-for-profit business.

My Thoughts:
This is another movie I got for an early Christmas present. I got this from the same friend that gave me the first part when she cleaned out here DVD collection a little. I really enjoyed the first one... even though was a very shocking style of a gore-fest. This one definitely still has the gore... a little less on the shock value on this one. Although there was definitely a cringe-worthy part towards the end... a scene that I will not soon forget. But this one adds a little something the last one did not. That is showing more about the "Hunters Club"... for their bidding on the girls to actually having them in the rooms. I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just the first part over again... only with girls. That is a sign of a good sequel... and I am looking forward to watching this one again along with part one sometime in the future.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

17. Forgiving
Original Air Date: 4/15/2002
As Fred, Gunn and Lorne try to figure out why Wesley would steal Connor, Angel tries to find a way to follow Holtz into the Quor-toth dimension and bring his son back home.

Guest Stars:
John Rubinstein
Laurel Holloman
Stephanie Romanov
Jack Conley

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one as well. Wesley has a long road ahead of him to get Angel to forgive him and trust him again. At this point the only thing Angel wants is to see Wesley dead. I can understand it too... why didn't Wesley go to the team... a team he considered family... with the information he had and try to figure things out that way? It would have saved a whole lot of grief.
