My Thoughts: I wanted to watch this one... as I have seen the first Fantastic Four movie several times... but only ever watched this one once when I first got the DVD. It has been so long in fact that I forgot most of the movie. While I think I liked the first one a bit more... this one is still a good movie that I enjoyed a lot. One that is just fun to sit back and watch.... without having to think about too much. I thought the Silver Surfer was done very cool. Jessica Alba looked amazing as always. Not sure how I felt about the changing of powers thing. I think it was fun for the most part... but didn't really care too much when Johnny had all 4 of their powers.
This weekend I will not have any particular theme... once again I will just be going with whatever mood hits at the time. So... this weekend I watched...
Live Free or Die Hard "The best of the best is back and better than ever" ('WNYW-TV') in the latest installment of the pulse-pounding, thrill-a-minute 'Die Hard' action films. New York City detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) delivers old-school justice to a new breed of terrorists when a massive computer attack on the U.S. infrastructure threatens to shut down the entire country over Independence Day weekend.
Locked and loaded with real stunts, genuine humor and nonstop excitement, 'Live Free or Die Hard' is "a slick piece of action entertainment" ('Los Angeles Times'). Yippee ki yay!
My Thoughts: When I first heard they would be doing a new Die Hard movie I thought it couldn't possibly be as good as the previous ones. I really loved all the previous ones... but lets face it... this is #4 in the series... and how often do they stay good for that long? And come on now... Bruce Willis is getting there in age. Well I was in for a bit of a surprise... as I loved every minute of it. Of course... just like the rest of them... it is pure blow them up action... Turn your brain off and enjoy type of a movie. But that is a lot of fun some times. So if you liked the first few movies in the series... I am sure you will like this one as well.
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd
17. FASTER THAN A SPEEDING VIXEN New in Metropolis: Superpowered crimefighter Vixen and Leslie Luckabree, who's purchased the Daily Planet.
My Thoughts: I never cared that much for the Leslie Luckabee episodes. I mean they were ok... but nothing thrilling. Though I did find the side story about Vixen very entertaining.
My Rating: Out of a Possible 5
18. SHADOW OF A DOUBT Hmm: Leslie Luckabee - L.L. - LEX LUTHOR?! Is Luckabee Lex's son? And does he want what Daddy wanted: Superman dead and Lois as his bride?
My Thoughts: While not bad... I still don't care too much for the current storyline... though I do find it interesting after all this time that Lex Luthor has been gone they still found ways to make him be the cause of problems for Superman. The side story of the shadow guy was never a favorite of mine either.
My Rating: Out of a Possible 5
19. VOICE FROM THE PAST Leslie Luckabee, the twisted Mr. Smith, a killer shadow. All the pieces come together for thrilling adventure.
My Thoughts: While I never much cared for the whole Leslie Luckabee storyline... I must admit that they did a good job with closing that storyline out. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
My Rating: Out of a Possible 5
20. I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN Gangsters are after a dopey lowlife. So he uses magic to switch bodies with Clark Kent - who's now superpowerless against the mob.
My Thoughts: Not a bad episode... definitely entertaining... although somewhat silly. Seemed to be little more then a filler episode.
My Rating: Out of a Possible 5
21. TOY STORY Must like Elvis: Forlorn Perry places a lonely hearts ad. Meanwhile, Lois and Clark search for kidnapped orphans.
My Thoughts: This one is a fun but average episode. The main story was entertaining... and I liked that they brought Perry and his ex-wife back together.
My Rating: Out of a Possible 5
22. THE FAMILY HOUR The final Lois & Clark episode includes a real surprise. It's not that. Nope, not that either. You'll have to watch and find out!
My Thoughts: As a stand alone episode this is a good, entertaining episode. But as a series finale I would have preferred something more. I don't know exactly what... but some big way to send the series off. Instead they gave us a normal episode plus just a surprise ending that left you wanting and expecting a bit more. I mean they gave you a good idea where they were going with the storyline... but just felt like it needed more closure. Maybe if they made it a 2 hour finale instead of a normal episode it would have been better.
My Rating: Out of a Possible 5
Season 4 Thoughts: After a mediocre season 3 they brought the series back up to a very good show. So much so that I would have liked to have seen at least one more season. This is one time I am glad I didn't give up on a show after it looked like it was going down hill. Definitely worth every cent I paid to get the entire series on DVD.
