"I'm the Slayer."

My all time favourite TV series (by far) is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The name may sound a bit cheesy, but don't let that put you off. It's the story of Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) a witty and attractive 16 year old girl who just happens to be the Slayer. With the help of the school librarian and her close friends (who provide most of the humour) she battles evil and saves the world. But not only does she have to fight bad guys, but she also has to deal with school and do normal teenage things - such as dating. And she has her eyes on the tall, dark and mysterious Angel (David Boreanaz).

Buffy and her friends are all extremely likeable characters and they have a lot of depth to them. They also never fail to make me laugh: whether it's Xander's lame jokes, Buffy's witty comebacks, Cordelia's cutting remarks or Willows naivety.

Please watch this, you won't regret it. Just overlook the slightly dated special effects and I guarantee you'll enjoy it :)

It appeals to people of all ages, male and female and most episodes are classified as 12 (some are 15). There are 7 series in total so you won't run out of episodes anytime soon.

Sex and the City, The Movie: the story of 4 (mature) women, their relationships, careers, motherhood and life in Manhattan. Slightly more of a female film, just slightly.

Having only ever seeing brief clips of the TV series, I didn't know quite what to expect. I didn't expect it to be particularly intellectual and mainly based around fashion - I was pretty much right. Their existence appears to revolve around their wardrobe.

The storyline focuses on Carrie and Big - will they get married? Miranda and divorce, Samantha and her attracttive neighbour, and Charlotte being a mum. At times the action got a bit tedious but it does focus on many different aspects of life, I guess that's good.

One of the features that REALLY annoyed me, was that for a film that heavily focuses on fashion, some of the clothes were horrible, really truly gross. I admit that I did like some items of clothing, and even though I doubt I'd ever wear most of the things that Carrie wears, I did really like some. But there were too many that were hideous. The major offensive item, for me, was the designer handbag that Carrie buys for her PA - it is not pretty. And that's why I just couldn't understand why the PA's face lit up at the sight of it. Probably just because it was designer.

This film has taught me that even if clothes cost loads, and have a respected designer: it doesn't make them nice.

However, I guess I enjoyed it on the whole as it is quite a fun and upbeat film most of the time, but I found it difficult to relate to the characters (having never seen a full episode from the series). Also, they were quite a lot older than me and so their problems vary greatly from mine.
