It wasn't easy, but we picked the best Buffy The Vampire Slayer episodes. We used some rigorous criteria. Well, we tried to.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is not the type of show that many people have lukewarm opinions about, thus any kind of ranking list is going to inspire some pretty fierce debate. Like any great work of art, Buffy operates on a lot of different levels, means different things to different people, and a decent argument can be made for various points of view on what its stronger and weaker elements are.

I start with this disclaimer because there will invariably be someone who won’t see their favorite episode anywhere on this list and will wonder why. Well, it’s partially because I’m human and thus subject to my own point of view and biases, and that’s going to inform whatever’s written here.

Is it a revelation or a revolution? It’s both! The Revelation Perth International Film Festival is tackling the theme of “Revolution” when its 13th annual edition begins violating Australia on July 8-18. Get set for 11 days filled French zombies, Belgian cowboys, outer space outlaws, Beat poets, cat ladies, gospel musicians and other revolutionaries.

Actually, one of the main features of the festival this year is a slew of music documentaries, mostly spotlighting both American and Australian music. On the U.S. side of things there’s Wheedle’s Groove, a look at the history of Seattle funk; Rejoice and Shout, which examines gospel music’s impact on African-American culture — and vice versa; Tom Dicillo’s Doors documentary When You’re Strange; plus The Family Jams and 72 Musicians. And, from Australia, there’s Megan Simpson-Hubberman’s classic concert film The Night of the Triffids.

There’s lots more than music docs,...
