...Although a dark comedy, the balance between the horror and the comedy is so well placed that it's a fun ride for anyone who watches it. Fun performances from Fraser and Rachel Weisz add to the tongue-in-cheek Saturday matinee appeal boosted by modern special effects can only improve on the Raiders of the lost Arch genre. . Screenwriter/director Stephen Sommers has taken license on this format and extended belief with flesh-eating beetles and battling ... Read review

Advantages: Much blooood, cool sound effects and made so realistic
Disadvantages: Not for the weak ones...

...the main thing, in the saw 1 & 2, John only wants to play a game, and in this part, his daughter or whoever continues coz he is dieing in brain tumour. The movie ends with a shot of John's corpse lying on the bed. Through much blood, brutality and sick scenes this movie is going through. Much pain and even this is psychedelic, coz while watching this movie sometimes I was feeling something also in my leg or in my arm or in my back.... A very good ... Read review

Advantages: Great episodes, great plot arc
Disadvantages: The Potentials!

After seven years, Buffy the Vampire Slayer finally came to an end in 2003 with its seventh season. Well - on the television anyway - hardcore fans will know that season eight is currently being released in comic book form! But that's not what I'm reviewing here - that honour goes to the final televised season of Buffy. With such a long and successful series, you'd expect it to go out with a bang - and that's what it does, in a big way. Many of ...
...After her depression last season, Buffy seems a lot happier - at the start of the season anyway. Spike spends a lot of his time going a little bit crazy from his new soul, and for another reason... Anya must deal with the ramifications of returning to her vengeful ways and Willow has to try and get past the darkness she found in season six. Xander and Dawn are rather superfluous in season seven, but they're pretty much a constant in all episodes. ... Read review

Advantages: Great characters, an excellent story arc, fantastic season finale
Disadvantages: A couple of bad episodes

Buffy the Vampire Slayer really found its feet in season two. It progressed from being a monster of the week show, to a show with a serious storyline, character and plot arcs. I don't want to repeat the general information I put into my review of season one, so I'll just jump straight into reviewing the characters and episodes.

...out of her shell, and Buffy grows up a lot as she deals with the hand life has dealt her. There are some wonderful new characters in this season, amongst them the infamous Spike. The bleach blonde vampire is played by James Marsters with aplomb and despite the slightly dodgy English accent is a fantastic character. Accompanying Spike is the insane Drusilla; another English character played by an American - in this case Juliet Landau. Spike and Dru ... Read review

Advantages: The whole season, character development, Spike, best choreography of any season
Disadvantages: Last ever season

...yes to both. Despite reservations, Angel is a fantastic feat of television. Actually managing to better it's sister show over several seasons. Whilst Buffy was always a show about being a teenager, and surviving as a teenager in high school, the world, life, love, Angel, in contrast is about adults. The choices that people make, and the consequences they have to live with. Whilst Angel himself turns out to be one of the most interesting, 3-dimensional ...
...resources at the gang's disposal, Angel Investigation attempt to fight the good fight from inside the belly of the beast. With many twists and turns, betrayals and deceptions, and some old friends (and foe's) along for the ride, the season culminates in Angel Investigations discovering the source of evil run on earth, and declaring all out war. Without saying anymore the final season is brilliant, embodying everything great about the show; comedy, ... Read review
