Spotswood, a review by Rich

Spotswood



Wallace is an efficiency expert, managing the high profile downsizing of a major auto parts factory. But when he is hired to evaluate a small moccasin factory which seems from another era, Wallace has to reconsider the rapid modernisation he advocates, as he is confronted by the human faces such plans hurt. Summer City Drama set in the 1950's, in which four young men take off for a weekend of sun, sand, surf and anything else that takes their fancy. An Australian production.

Gentle and charming Aussie comedy with Hopkins as always stealing the show looking a pro amongst amateurs, and a young Crowe trying his best not to act, the storyline was interesting albeit a bit dated, and very much humour in the vein of Muriels Wedding. Best described as the equivalent of an above average TV film, this is worth looking out for in the bargain bins.

My Thoughts:
It was fun seeing a young Jennifer Aniston (Friends) in this movie. Of course this more is done more for fun then horror... there is a load of comedy mixed in. But I definitely enjoy it for what it is. Not to mention Jennifer Aniston looked great in those tight shorts!

Charmed Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

21. Look Who's Barking
Prue is transformed into a dog to help track down a Banshee demon, but when the demon attacks Phoebe, Cole must save her.

My Thoughts:
This is a really fun episode. I always liked the episodes where the sisters get turned into something else. And in this episode 2 of the sisters get turned into something... besides Prue getting turned into a dog... we also have Phoebe getting turned into a Banshee.

22. All Hell Breaks Loose
When Piper and Prue are exposed as witches, Phoebe sacrifices herself to the dark side to save them, but the deal threatens to destroy them all.

My Thoughts:
This is really a powerful season finale. They really get a huge show in this one episode. It has such a huge ending that it leaves you desperate to see more. I remembered the first time I watched this episode... I was so worried about what was going to happen to this series after such a huge episode. But I will go more into that when I start the season 4 set.
