I decided to watch this one today in honor of Sandra Bullock's birthday. As most of you know... I am a huge fan of hers. Though she doesn't have a huge part in this film... as most the film follows around their son. While I found this to be a very good film. It is also very slow. And I did feel my attention to go elsewhere at times. But it kept my attention for the most part. It is definitely one I think is worth checking out.

Slither, a review by Dragonfire

I hadn't really seen many horror movies when this one first came out.  This was not anything like the movies I normally was interested in seeing, but I still wanted to see it....because Nathan Fillion was in it.  This one came out after Firefly and Serenity, so I was already liking Fillion.  I'm glad I ended up seeing the movie because I find it highly entertaining and I love Fillion in it. 

The plot is interesting and I like a little more original than what has been done in other more recent horror movies.  When it came out, most horror was like Saw or Hostel...the type of thing I have no desire at all to watch.  I think of this as more of a monster movie since there the ...alien worm things taking over the town.  The worm things are gross looking and sort of snakelike, but they didn't freak me out like snakes do.  The plot is entertaining, with enough time taken to set things up before all hell breaks loose.  There is violence and things get a bit gory at times.  There is also humor added in through things that characters, usually Bill - the one played by Fillion - say or do.  This isn't a movie for everyone, but I think people that like monster type movies should give it a chance. 



I did post a longer review on Epinions after I first saw the movie.

Smallville: The Complete Third Season, a review by addicted2dvd

Smallville: The Complete Third Season (2003/United States) Everyone has a future. Clark Kent has a destiny - if he's willing to accept and able to master all the awesome powers and responsibilities that come with it. The fascinating reinterpretation of Superman mythology and its classic characters continues in an event-packed 22-episode Season 3 that includes Clark's embracing of his dark side... and the devil's bargain Jonathan makes with Jor-El to rescue his son. Other highlights: Perry White and villainous Morgan Edge debut in the series. Clark hones a sensational new power. Chloe lets slip an intriguing reference to someone named Lois Lane. And the secret of Clark's true indentity burdens Pete, obsesses Lex and drives a wedge between Lana and Clark. The challenges of today shape tomorrow as never before in Smallville. Episodes 1. Exile 2. Phoenix 3. Extinction 4. Slumber 5. Perry 6. Relic 7. Magnetic 8. Shattered 9. Asylum 10. Whisper 11. Delete 12. Hereafter 13. Velocity 14. Obsession 15. Resurrection 16. Crisis 17. Legacy 18. Truth 19. Memoria 20. Talisman 21. Forsaken 22. Covenant

Just finished season 3. Still very much enjoying watching this series again. We did indeed see Clark get his super hearing this season. We also got another episode with Christopher Reeve. I am now about to pop in the first disc of Season 4! I can't believe I am already up to the season that introduces Lois Lane.
