Damien: Omen II, a review by addicted2dvd

Damien: Omen II
Since the sudden and highly suspicious death of his parents, 12-year-old Damien has been in the charge of his wealthy aunt and uncle (Lee Grant and William Holden).

Widely feared to be the Antichrist, Damien relentlessly plots to seize control of his uncle's business empire -- and the world. Meanwhile, anyone attempting to unravel the secrets of Damien's sinister past or fiendish future meets with a swift and cruel demise.

In this chilling sequel to 'The Omen', the forces of good and evil battle each other to a taut and terrifying end.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this sequel... was a good one... but do prefer the original movie to it. It was pretty interesting to see him in his teen years. And it did have a couple pretty cool death scenes. I have The Omen Collection boxset that includes all 4 movies. I have heard many times that parts 3 and 4 are worthless... but think I will find out today and finish off the boxset.

Labor and management at the Sleeptite Pajama Factory aren't sleeping much lately: a proposed 7 1/2 cent hourly wage increase is why - and a strike may result. But negotiations here involve snappy stars, terrific tunes and dynamic dances as Doris Day The Pajama Game.

Extras:

• Scene Access

I found this one to be a fun film... even if it is not what I would call a great one. It has a good story line. And while I liked Doris Day's character... I really had mixed feelings for John Riatt's. Through some of the movie I liked him.. but yet at some point I really stopped caring about him. Worth the time put in to watch... but it is not one I will be in a hurry to upgrade.

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

11. Ted (1997-12-08)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), David Greenwalt (Writer), Joss Whedon (Writer)
Director: Bruce Seth Green
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), John Ritter (Ted), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Robia LaMorte (Jenny Calendar), Ken Thorley (Neal), James G. MacDonald (Detective Stein), Jeff Langton (Vampire)

I never liked this episode very much. At the time I thought robots did not fit with the Buffyverse (though later on other robots came).
This was the first Buffy episode which had a "big" guest star. I think John Ritter did well.
What I liked about this episode is, when Buffy thinks she accidentally killed a human and how she handles it.

Rating:



12. Bad Eggs (0998-01-12)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Marti Noxon (Writer)
Director: David Greenwalt
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Jeremy Ratchford (Lyle Gorch), James Parks (Tector Gorch), Rick Zieff (Mr. Whitmore), Danny Strong (Jonathan), Brie McCaddin (Cute Girl), Eric Whitmore (Night Watchman)

A bodysnatcher episode. Although this is often seen as a weak episode, for some reason it had enough fun scenes in it, for me always enjoying watching it.

Rating:



13. Surprise (1998-01-17)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Marti Noxon (Writer)
Director: Michael Lange
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Seth Green (Oz), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Robia LaMorte (Jenny Calendar), Brian Thompson (The Judge), Eric Saiet (Dalton), Vincent Schiavelli (Enios), James Marsters (Spike), Juliet Landau (Drusilla)

This episode introduces the idea, that on Buffy's birthday always something bad happens.
Nice that Oz is from now on part of the gang.

14. Innocence (1998-01-20)
Writer: Joss Whedon (Created By), Joss Whedon (Writer)
Director: Joss Whedon
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Seth Green (Oz), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Robia LaMorte (Jenny Calendar), Brian Thompson (The Judge), Ryan Francis (Soldier), Vincent Schiavelli (Enios), James Marsters (Spike), Juliet Landau (Drusilla), James Lurie (Teacher), Carla Madden (Woman), Parry Shen (Student)

Now the fun part begins! The Angelus story arc was always great turn of events. On Buffy I never really liked Angel, but when he became Angelus, he was really fun.
And the solution for defeating The Judge is a nice idea. Also we get a nice scene when Willow finds about Xander and Cordelia and tellls Xander off.
