While this is a good ghost story, I have seen better. Don't get me wrong... it is well worth watching. It is always nice to see familiar faces from TV Series in movies. And this one has 3 people I knew from TV series. Of course Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)... but there is also Jason Behr from Roswell and KaDee Strickland from Private Practice. I do like the way they did the ghosts in this film.

The Hunting Party, a review by Rich

Title: The Hunting Party

Runtime:103
Certificate:R
Year:2007
Genres:Suspense/Thriller

Plot:My Review:
Amazing due to the truth of the story, the fictional license (which is quite small) is rectified before the credits by displaying the few slight changes made.
The 3 leads work very well together, and after a slow start the film really gets into its stride and is very watchable.
An enjoyable and educational true modern day journalistic thriller, can't see anyone not enjoying it.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

FRIENDS - SEASON 1 - PILOT



First aired: 9/22/1994   
This is the one where it all began... Rachel leaves Barry at the altar, meets the gang, and moves in with Monica. Monica, meanwhile, sleeps with Paul the Wine Guy, and Ross is reeling from his divorce from Carol, who has become a lesbian.

Great to go back after all these years to see where it all began. The show did not stray too far from the format of this first episode, and the characters matured with all 10 series. The jokes in this pilot are ok and the acting average, but the chemistry is perfect and indicates why this became such a monster hit series.
