I have bought Dhoom 1+2 at the same time a while back, when both were down in price at the same time. These movies belong to the most successful Bollywood movies in recent times. But after watching the first one I was heavily disappointed and it took me a while to watch the second one. Luckily I decided to finally watch it, because I enjoyed it a lot more than the other. In huge part thanks to Hritik Roshan ("Krrish") as the master thief Mr. A.
When the movie started I feared it was going to be similar to the first one. It had bad over-the-top and very unrealistic action scenes. But luckily it was only the pre-credit sequence. After that it was a funny buddy-cop movie with some nice action and a great villain.
This movie also caused some controversies in India because of the on-screen kiss between Ashwarya Rai and Hritik Roshan. In recent years it is done more and more in Indian films, but it is still not very much accepted. Especially in such a high profile movie.

Plot:
Proving there's no rest for the wicked, the unspeakably evil Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is again resurrected from the grave to wreak havoc upon those who dare to dream. But this time, he faces a powerful new adversary!

As her friends succumb one by one to Freddy's wrath, telepathically gifted Kristen embarks on a desparate mission to destroy the satanic dream stalker and release the tortured souls of his victims once and for all.

Directed by Renny Harlin (The Long Kiss Goodnight, Cliffhanger) and loaded with killer effects and drop-dead humor, this is a "superior horror picture that balances wit and gore with imagination and intelligence" (Los Angeles Times).

• Feature Trailers

While I still enjjoyed this one... it wasn't quite as good as the first or third one... but definitely better then the second. Like the rest in the series... it is well worth the time put in to watch it. I was sorry to see them replace the actress playing Kristen... thought that Patricia Arquette was better in the role. But that is just a minor complaint.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

17. SLEEPER
Agent Double Uh-Oh: Government agents coerce Jimmy into spying on Chloe because of her suspicious computer activities. Kara sends a strange message to Clark... from Krypton. Lex finally obtains and opens the doubvle-keyed safe-deposit box.

My Thoughts:
Interesting episode. Not  100% sure how much I liked it. There was things I liked about it as well as things I didn't. But over all I think I enjoyed it well enough to say it is an above average episode.

My Rating:

18. APOCALYPSE


My Thoughts:
Another interesting epiosde. Like many series has... this is an "alternate world"... "what if I never came to be" type story. I think they did a pretty good job on it. I like the way they explained all his friends having a good life at first... making him think the world is better without him.

My Rating:

19. QUEST
A strange attacker from Zurich strikes again, this time leaving mysterious Kryptonian symbols carved into Lex's chest. Clark connects the symbols to a cathedral in Montreal... and meets grave peril when he arrives there.

My Thoughts:
I really am starting to tire of the whole Veritas arc. It has always been my least favorite arc of the series... though I can enjoy the episodes. This one while not bad... continuing the storyline I don't care for much brought it down a bit.

My Rating:

20. ARCTIC
Is Kara really Kara? If not, who is she? Will Jimmy be Lex's lap dog? Or will he stand up to the blackmail? Will Lana be Clark's forever love? Or will she be forever gone? Will Lex accept the truth he finally discovers? If not, will it push him into madness?

My Thoughts:
This is a good conclusion to the season. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Of course it leaves us with cliffhangers for the cast just like the previous years. So now I am kinda looking forward to starting my season 8 set.

My Rating:
