This one... while not quite as good as I remembered it to be is still some fun entertainment. Of course my tastes has changed since the last time I seen it back in my teens. But still today this film is worth a watch... a fun flick with a good message.

One of the extras on the blu-ray disc is the pilot episode what was an attempt of a TV sitcom version of the film. The pilot basically runs the same story line of the movie but no where near as good. The whole revenge part was rushed... made no sense... and was never explained.

As you can see by the cover this film is part of a Bill Murray double feature along with Groundhog Day. I found this movie to be just as much fun as I remembered it to be. A good solid '80s comedy. One that I would recommend everyone to see at least once. This film had me literally laugh out loud more then once. The film has a lot of familiar faces in it as well. So if you have never seen this one... put it on your list. And if you have seen it before... maybe it is time to revisit this classic comedy.

10. Awakening
Original Air Date: 1/29/2003
After Cordelia's revelation that Angelus and The Beast made a pact, the gang determines that they must turn Angel into Angelus to end the eternal darkness. For that transformation to take place, Angel must lose his soul by experiencing a moment of pure happiness..

Guest Stars:
Vladimir Kulich
Roger Yuan
Larry McCormick

My Thoughts:
A great episode... I enjoyed every second of it. I must admit... it didn't go exactly as I remembered it. But the outcome was the same. I especially enjoyed both the search for the needed sword as well as the fight with the Beast.

My Rating:
