However, just when all seems to be lost, a great warrior-wizard, named Woochi, travels through time to fight for the future of all mankind...

My Thoughts: Quite an enjoyable fun romp. A couple of switches between the past and the present early on to set the stage. Then the telling of the protagonists past encounters leading to a 500 year banishment. Then the jump to the present so they can meet and resolve their differences. Generally a good actioner with plenty of wire-work and a degree of CGI.

My Rating: An overall fun film for a 3

Birthday Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 4
A New Man
At Buffy's 19th birthday party, Giles has a realization. He is an unemployed, middle-aged man hanging around with a bunch of teenagers. He feels even worse when he finds out that he is the only one who doesn't know about Riley and the Initiative. Feeling useless and insecure, he runs into Ethan Rayne, but the confrontation ends in drinks at the local pub rather than the usual fisticuffs. The next morning, Giles looks in the mirror and sees a massive Fyarl demon looking back at him.

My Thoughts:
This has never been one of my favorite episodes. I would say it is somewhere between fair and good. For one thing I never liked the character of Ethan Rayne. He is one character that really bored me. Thankfully you only see him a couple times throughout the series. Though it was fun to see Giles as a demon unable to communicate with the gang.
