Stars:
Christopher Reeve as Superman/Clark Kent

Plot:
Meet Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), a naive computer programming natural. For him a keyboard is a weapon - and Superman faces the microelectronic menace of his life. Christopher Reeve reprises his signature role, deepening his character's human side as 'Clark Kent' sees 'Lana Lang' (Annette O'Toole) at a Smallville High class reunion. And when the Man of Steel becomes his own worst enemy after Kryptonite exposure, Reeve pulls off both roles with dazzling skill. Relive Superman III in all it's heart, heroism and high-flying humor.

My Thoughts:
Sadly, Richard Lester had now control over the franchise, and he put slapstick anywhere he could. Most offensive of these is the prolonged opening slapstick scene. Another point against this movie is, that it's a vehicle for the comedian Richard Pryor. Though I don't mind him very much, but the storyline with him. This movie is a perfect example that Hollywood writers do not know computers. They think a guy is born with the gift to talk to computers and can make them do anything he wants with a few commands. Even control the weather with a simple weather satelite. Also a sentient super computer can be build by some drawings made by him, even though it is made clear, that he doesn't really know why he can control the computers like he does.
What the movie saved it for me is Christopher Reeve, the scenes in Smallville with him as Clark, his Superman gone bad and the fight between Superman and Clark.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie that was given to me a while back... but just now getting the chance to watch. It's not a bad movie... though not one I would call great or see myself watching all that often. I guess what I am saying is that it is entertaining for what it is.. just don't go into it expecting too much. The swapping of luck is the one thing I do like about it. And I like how they ended it... where the luck finally is put. I haven't seen much with Lindsay Lohan in it... as I only have a few of her movies. But going by what I did see... she isn't bad. I wouldn't call myself a fan at this point. But I can see myself getting a few more of her movies if the chance arises. My recommendation on this one? Catch it on cable. If you do decide to pick it up... make sure you get it cheap.My Rating:

My Thoughts:
I have seen this episode before... it is a good episode... but not one I would call a favorite. Just a decent basic episode. Attached to the end of this episode was a TV Spot for Gunsmoke. The extras that come with this episode include a Marc Zicree interview with Buck Houghton, an Isolated Score and The Twilight Zone Radio Drama starring H.M. Wynant.
75. The Midnight Sun (11/17/61)
The Earth's orbit has suddenly changed, drawing ever closer to the sun and promising imminent destruction. Or has it? Who really knows how the Earth may be doomed?
My Thoughts:
This is another episode I have seen before... this one I liked quite a bit. Much more then the last episode. Attached to the end of this episode is a commercial for The Refugee Program. Extras included for this episode are an Audio Commentary with Lois Nettleton and an Isolated Score.
76. Still Valley (11/24/61)
A Confederate soldier (Gary Merrill) gets the chance to win the Civil War for the South. But to do that, he must call on a very dubious ally.
My Thoughts:
This was a really good episode. A confederate soldier stumbles upon a book of black magic and must decide if it is worth calling upon the devil for his side of the war. It was another episode that I never seen before now. Attached to the end of the episode was a TV Spot for the series Gunsmoke. Extras included with this episodes are an Isolated Score and a Twilight Zone Radio Drama starring Adam West.
77. The Jungle (12/1/61)

My Thoughts:
This is one of the many I never seen before. This one didn't impress me too much. I mean it was ok... but nothing really special about it. attached to the end of this episode was a special service announcement about the mentally ill. There was no extras what so ever with this episode.
78. Once Upon a Time (12/15/61)
Woodrow (Buster Keaton), a janitor living in the year 1890, accidentally activates a time-traveling helmet which transports him to 1962 - then promptly breaks down!
My Thoughts:
This one I have seen before... it is one I really enjoyed. It has comedy mixed in... naturally what with Buster Keaton in it. I liked how the parts that took place in 1890 was like a silent movie... where the parts that took place in 1962 had sound. Was just an all around fun episode. Attached to the end of this episode was a special service announcement for wearing seat belts. The only extra attached to this episode is an Isolated Score.
79. Five Characters in Search of an Exit (12/22/61)
A clown, a hobo, a ballet dancer, a bagpipe player and an Army major are trapped together in an enormous cylinder. They don't know who they are or how they got there. But when the major tries to escape, they finally learn the truth.
My Thoughts:
This is one I saw a year or so ago while watching some episodes during a sci-fi channel marathon. This is a pretty good episode... I enjoyed it. attached to the end of this episode is a TV Spot for Gunsmoke, Extras along with this episode include an Audio Commentary by William Windom and a Marc Zicree Interview with Lamont Johnson.
80. A Quality of Mercy (12/29/61)
A soldier (Dean Stockwell) gets a new perspective on war when he is forced to experience it from the enemy's point of view.
My Thoughts:
This was another episode I never seen before... and a very good one. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I would have never recognized Dean Stockwell if I didn't know it was him going into it. Attached to the end of this episode is a public service message for colleges. The only extra included with this episode is a commentary with Leonard Nimoy.
81. Nothing in the Dark (1/5/62)
