The Good Witch's Family
Kind witch Cassie (Catherine Bell) welcomes her long-lost cousin Abigail (Sarah Power) into her home in the fourth installment of this whimsical film series. Abigail stirs up trouble, however, as she tries to tear Cassie's family apart.


My Thoughts:
I don't know what it is about this series of films that I like so much. Granted I am a Catherine Bell fan... but I don't normally go for the sweet, always happy ending type. At least not this much. It is just a cute and fun movie... I enjoyed it.

My Thoughts:
I went into this one somewhat excited as I enjoyed the remake of part 1. But this one didn't work quite as much for me. It started out pretty good and I thought I would really enjoy it. But then as I watch I realize there is something wrong here. First... what happened to the town? Haddonfield always seemed to be an average middle-classed town. But in this one it feels more like a back-woods redneck town more then anything else. They really turned Loois' character into quite a jerk in this one. I mean they just ruined his character in this one. And to be quite honest none of the characters is all that likable this time around. Then there was quite a lot of scenes that were just plain too dark. I mean I understand it is night-time... but we should still be able to see what is going on. I do applaud Rob Zombie for making the remake his own... I mean this is definitely not a carbon copy of the original Halloween series! But I didn't like getting so deep into Michael Myer's head. In my eyes it took away from who/what Michael Myers is. This is turning out to be a very negative review here... but there is some things I did like about it as well. Mostly how they keep things moving... how they keep the tension up. Maybe I should have re-watched the original remake before this one... but I am really not sure if that would have made things for this one better or worse. If you want to check this one out for yourself... let me suggest that you be sure to get it cheap... or better yet... catch it on cable.

This is the first ever Halloween episode... and also I think I would have to say my favorite Halloween episode of the series.I always loved the idea of the characters turning into their Halloween costumes.

My Thoughts:
Another fun Halloween episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I like how they noted the first Halloween episode where Xander made sure he was something cool and tough just in case they were turned into their costumes again. I also had to laugh at Anya wanting to dress up as something scary so she dressed as a bunny since they frighten her! And got to say I got a kick out of when they revealed the Fear Demon. Definitely a fun episode!

As I said before I ever started the marathon this month... my heart just wasn't in it. I am now calling it quits for this year. Hopefully I will be more into it next year. I knew I wasn't going to do too good on the number of movies... but think I did ok considering. Definitely was more of a TV Episode year this year... a goal I did meet!

Sorry I couldn't provide as many reviews as I normally do!
