My Thoughts:

Watching this one I am not sure if I seen it before or not. Some parts of it looked very familiar to me.... where others did not. I heard this film has a reputation of being bad. I just don't see how. I thought it had a good story... some great action... and a lot of big names. Felt like it was done well to me. Even if it was a little on the predictable side. I think it is definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

Fright Night, a review by Dragonfire



Fright Night




I decided to watch Fright Night again recently.  I still really enjoy the movie.  It's just a fun, entertaining vampire movie.  Some things are a little corny, but it still works.  Some things are a little dated, but the movie is still worth seeing.

I've written about it here before.  I've also posted about it at Epinions.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


Season 4: Disc 6:

20. Ageless
Clark and Lana discover an abandoned baby in the cornfield and take him back to the Kent farm. However, once the baby ages from a newborn to a 7-year-old in a matter of days, the two realize he is aging at a rapid rate and frantically search for a cure before the disease kills him.

My Thoughts:
This one... to me is only an OK episode. Nothing special here what so ever... but it is Smallville... so for that alone I enjoyed it.

21. Forever
Clark must stop the school photographer after he sets up a secret simulated high school and begins kidnapping students -- starting with Chloe -- to keep the glory days of high school going forever.

My Thoughts:
This one however.. was a really good episode.I enjoyed it a lot. I also really liked the effects they used for this episode. This is the episode where the gang says goodbye to High School... and Hello to the next step in their lives... as they finish out the last day of school.

22.Commencement
Clark begins to piece together the reason he was sent to Earth after he has a nightmare that something horrible is going to happen to Smallville and heads to the cave to seek answers from Jor-El. His biological father tells him he must reunite the three crystals immediately or a disaster of epic proportions will befall the planet and even Clark won't be able to stop it.

My Thoughts:
This was a great episode! So much going on in this episode... if you blink you might miss something!  I love it... they had another cliffhanger season finale of course... the cliffhangers weren't as good this season as they were last season in my opinion.... but I did love (hated when originally aired) how they  showed Clark throw the crystal to create the Fortress of Solitude... but just as he threw it we see "To Be Continued". Awesome! at least it is now that I have them on DVD... I hated waiting the summer before seeing the Fortress when it originally aired!

Over-All Season 4 Thoughts:
Over-all it was a pretty good season. of course had it's plus and minus'... I hated to see Pete gone from the series... but loved to see Chloe find out about Clark... and how she handled it. In my opinion... she really proved herself that she is truly Clark's friend... even if they did have some rocky points. OK... I can wait no longer... must go off and start season 5!
