I Know What You Did Last Summer, a review by Rich

I Know What You Did Last Summer



On the magic Summer's night of high school's end, Julie, Helen, Ray and Barry get into Barry's new Beamer, and drive out to celebrate, their lives and hopes before them.
But on the road they have a terrible accident, hit and kill a man. In the shock and panic that follows, they dump the body in the sea rather than reporting the accident. As the body sinks, the hand of the dead man breaks the surface in a last grasp at life, then disappears into the murky depths. The four friends realise that they are now guilty of murder and swear to take their secret to their graves.
But now someone is stalking them, someone who knows who they are, knows what they did last Summer, and seeks revenge...

Cheesy stalk and slash teen horror, attractive cast and amusing and preposterous storyline. The suspense is ok, the acting as expected, but the stars of the show for me were Hewitts perky tits, which the director appeared to focus on with gay abandon and dressed them perfectly for display.
Good for some light relief, but don't take too seriously.

Angel Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: A group of youngsters fights on their own account and with self-made weapons against vampires. But the vampires intend to strike back and to strike back hard. Angel has to intervene to prevent a bloodbath.

My Opinion: The words "gang warfare" gets a whole new meaning. But the leader of the humans had to learn the hard way that the price can be high and that it is sometimes too high. This episode shows that very impressively.

Synopsis: A young woman attacks Angel and she can practically anticipate his moves. But there is a catch: she is blind and shouldn't be able to see anything at all.

My Opinion: This reminded me a bit of Daredevil with the exception that she went blind voluntarily. Why? To be able to see more. Unfortunately the attempt of Lindsey to return to the path of righteousness didn't last long.

Synopsis: A demon is summoned by Wolfram & Hart to retrieve the scroll that Angel stole. Additionally he is supposed to hurt Angel's friends.

My Opinion: I wasn't aware of the fact that Darla - Angel's Sire (the vampire who created another vampire) - was dead. If they've mentioned it in "Buffy" I must have missed it. But aside from that the season finale wasn't that interesting. The reason for that is that Angel didn't have a season enemy like it was usual in "Buffy". But at least Lindsey was punished for his betrayal.

The Season - My Opiniotn: To be honest, I am not very thrilled. That it would be different than "Buffy" was a given. But the show hasn't fully taken off yet and I would say this season was weaker than any "Buffy" season. But at least they have given Angel a goal. Now they have to make sure that he gets there.
