In the last few years, Alex O'Loughlin has been all over TV in the USA, however FEED was his "Good Will Hunting". O'Loughlin helped write/create and star in this film, which I don't mind saying, caught me totally off guard. Bored and surfing Netflix one day, I happened upon this, clicked Play and spent the next few hours watching some of the strangest things I've ever seen in a movie. Of course FEED isn't studio-budget quality but then again, it wasn't a studio film. I thought the actors did great in their roles and even though I know nothing about the Feeder/Gainer lifestyle, I found them to be believable. If you can stand watching a man eat his own body parts and if you like weird, FEED is worth a watch.

Angel is another one of those series that I never watched in its original run but discovered in re-runs. Honestly, I believe I was apprehensive about ever watching the show because of its ties to the Buffy series. Something about a teenage girl slaying vampires while worrying about prom that just never appealed to me. However, even though the Angel character may have been spun off from the Buffy series, the Angel series itself is a completely different show with much darker, more interesting characters. Not to mention, the storyline for Angel is much more grown-up than its Buffy predecessor. The show follows Angel, a Vampire who, after being "cursed" with a soul, struggles to make amends for all the horrors of his past as "Angelis", one of the most ruthless vampires to ever exist. In my opinion, one of the best things about the Angel series was David Boreanaz's ability to bring a touch of levity to a character that stereotypically has no sense of humor while still maintaining the appearance of a soul tortured by his own immortality. Through the duration of the show, Angel and his group of rag-tag "Champions" go from a small-time P.I. firm fighting demons to being the heads of the infamous Wolfram & Hart that is basically evil personified as an LA law firm. The interplay of the characters is priceless. Almost like "Friends" only with demons, prophecies and an endless supply of bad guys. All in all, this is definitely a series that's going in my DVD collection.
