My Thoughts:
I picked this one  because today (July 24th) is Lynda Carter's 59th birthday. And she has a somewhat small (a few scenes) part in this movie. I enjoyed this one. It is a pure fun show. Definitely not one you want to think too much about. But fun for leave your brain at the door pop-corn type movie. my favorite line in the movie goes to Lynda Carter when as the principle she is punishing the villains and says...  "There's nothing more I can do... I'm not Wonder Woman."  I know... a bit cheesy and definitely obvious... but I liked it.

Plot:
Boog (Martin Lawrence), a domesticated grizly bear with no survival skills, has his perfect world turned upside down when he meets Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a scrawny, fast-talking mule deer. They join forces to unite the woodland creatures and take the forest into nature's control! It's a film for the whole family that Shawn Edwards (Fox-TV) calls, "a fun story loaded with lovable characters!"

• Boog and Elliot's Midnight Bun Run Short

Not really a bad film... but not a great one either. I don't see myself watching this one too often. But sure I will watch it again at some point. There is a few good scenes... but for the most part found it a little too silly. As well as a gross joke or two thrown in. I did like when Boog and Elliott broke into the store and ate all that candy. Probably the best scene in the movie. I thought the cast did well though. Worth seeing... but don't have high hopes for this one.

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

21. Blind Date (2000-05-16)
Writer: Jeannine Renshaw (Writer)
Director: Thomas J. Wright
Cast: David Boreanaz (Angel), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), Alexis Denisof (Wesley Wyndam-Pryce), Christian Kane (Lindsey McDonald), Thomas Burr (Lee Mercer), Stephanie Romanov (Lilah Morgan), Sam Anderson (Holland Manners), J. August Richards (Charles Gunn), Jennifer Badger Martin (Vanessa Weeks), Keilana Smith (Mind Reader #1), Dawn Suggs (Mind Reader #2), Charles Constant (Security Center Guard), Scott Berman (Vendor), Derek Anthony (Dying Black Man), Rishi Kumar (Blind Child #1), Karen Lu (Blind Child #2), Alex Buck (Blind Child #3)

Angel meets female Daredevil. An okay episode but nothing really exciting. And why is it so easy for Angel to break into Wolfram & Hart from the sewers? They stretch the fact so much in the show, that Angel is essentially able to get anywhere he likes by going through the sewers.

An okay episode, but as a season finale too boring. Nice to see Darla again.
