Movie Count: 25
TV Ep Count: 9
Time Started: 12pm
Plot:
 When young photographer Keyes (Ross Partridge) snaps a picture of a mysterious homelss man, the subject insists he take a dark yet strangely beautiful antique mirror.

Back at Keyes' home, the demonic forces of the infamous Long Island horror-house find new life through the mirror's frightening reflections. As unsuspecting victims gaze into the shimmering glass, they witness their own violent demise and soon find themselves helpless to escape their deadly fate.

The mirror leads Keyes to discover his own connection to Amityville's dark heritage, and he comes to realize the evil powers of his new possession.

Can he stop the dark forces surrounding him and his dwindling group of friends before it's too late?

My Thoughts:
I have been a fan of the Amityville Horror movies for a very long time... these are the movies that made me a huge fan of haunted house movies. I knew there was several that I have never seen before... and this was one of them. Unfortunately I just wish that was still the case. It was not a terrible movie... but it was definitely below average. I would probably rate this one at about a 3.5 out of 10. First of all... it doesn't even take place in the Amityville house. Instead it is a mirror that came from that house... and every time it makes something happen you see the house being reflected in the mirror. So that is the main thing I didn't like. The other is that it was just a slow movie that I had a hard time keeping my attention on. I can not in good faith recommend this movie.

I have seen a nice handful of Abbott and Costello films now (not even close to all). I can say while I enjoyed this one.... it is not my favorite. Decent story and some good laughs. Though I think for me, my favorite thing in this film is when the kid kept tricking Lou Costello. Worth the time put in to watch it, but there is definitely better out there.

Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom

19. New Moon Rising (2000-05-02)
Writer: Marti Noxon (Writer)
Director: James A. Contner
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Seth Green (Oz), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Marc Blucas (Riley Finn), James Marsters (Spike), Amber Benson (Tara), Leonard Roberts (Forrest Gates), Bailey Chase (Graham Miller), Robert Patrick Benedict (Jape), Conor O'Farrell (Colonel McNamara), George Hertzberg (Adam), Emma Caulfield (Anya), Seth Green (Oz), James Michael Conner (Scientist #1), Mark Daneri (Scientist #2), Doron Keenan (Commando #2)

Nice to see Oz again. And I am glad that we got the chance to see Willow choosing between Oz and Tara. Though I am glad about the choice that she made, it also means that it was the last time that we got to see Oz (okay Seth Green probably wouldn't have come back often anyway, as he is a very busy man).
