A story about "Becoming Jane"

nobody@allconsuming.net (mireille) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:24:40 GMT

Becoming Jane

Notes on the viewing: My best friend gave it to me on my birthday; we watched it with another close friend after my dad’s funeral. The day might have colored my vision of it (like nothing would have been good enough for me to love it) but I was really happy to watch it with friends.

So! I was very excited to see this, but then it never got released in theaters in my city, and the DVD took forever to arrive, so it lost a bit of momentum. But still it’s a pretty good movie with excellent acting, images and music. I thought the story was a bit on the weak side though. They didn’t really explain why Jane went from hate to love in her feelings (though I guess we’re supposed to assume it’s à la Elizabeth&Darcy) which made the whole drama a bit less believable to me.

A story about "Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Fifth Season (Slim Set)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (mireille) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:37:11 GMT

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Fifth Season (Slim Set)

For some reason I was really looking forward to Season 5. I wanted to see how they would integrate Dawn, to be in awe of Spike (and the Spuffy goodness) and mostly to finally get rid of Riley!

Season 5’s general plot was much better than Season 4 but it had less “special” episodes, apart from Fool for Love and The Body. Also, the whole Joyce arc came at a really bad time in my personal life which made it kind of hard to get through it. I think that lessened my appreaciation of the season a bit, though of course it’s not the show’s fault.

I thought Glory was a so-so villain, though the duality with Ben was interesting (and could have been exploited better, I thought). However, The Gift is in my opinion the best season finale of Buffy and maybe of all season finales (though I haven’t seen Chosen yet). So that’s that.

About bonuses, well, there a few commentaries – I always like those by Doug Petrie and Jane Espenson, and obviously Joss Whedon’s on The Body (but seriously, why no commentary on the finale?!). The featurettes didn’t strike me as particularly interesting; I liked Buffy Abroad and the one on the stunts (it was cool to see James Marsters saying his stunt double isn’t his stunt double but instead just another part of Spike).

So, not the great season I was waiting for but not the worst either!
