Mr. Destiny, a review by Rich

Mr. Destiny



Imagine if one day, out of the blue, your wildest dreams came true! That's exactly what happens to junior executive Larry Burrows (James Belushi - 'Taking Care Of Business') when he bumps into a mysterious stranger (Michael Caine - 'Miss Congeniality', 'The Cider House Rules'). Instantly, Larry's ho-hum life becomes his ultimate fantasy - huge mansion, beautiful wife, cars galore! But before long, his new lifestyle isn't so enchanting. Ultimately, Larry discovers it's going to take a lot more than wishful thinking to get back to where he once belonged! Co-starring 'Terminator 2's' Linda Hamilton and comedian Jon Lovitz ('Little Nicky', 'Rat Race'), 'Mr. Destiny' is a delightful rags-to-riches comedy brimming with totally magical entertainment!

Jenifer, a review by addicted2dvd

Jenifer
'Steven Weber' of THE SHINING, THE STAND and DESPERATION stars as Frank Spivey, a detective who rescues a strange young girl ('Carrie Anne Fleming') with a horribly disfigured face and lusciously ripe body from a deranged killer. But when Spivey takes responsibility for the mentally challenged orphan, she reveals herself to be a creature of untold carnal pleasures and unspeakable violent depravities that may lead him straight to hell. She is seductress, psychopath and succubus all in one...and her name is JENIFER.

The legendary 'Dario Argento' directs this jaw-dropper that features a haunting score by 'Claudio Simonetti' of 'Goblin' (DAWN OF THE DEAD, TENEBRE).

My Thoughts:
Ahhhh, Jenifer, What a cute girl... from the neck down! This is another episode that I really liked a lot. One thing I like is that it has Steven Weber in it... I have liked him in horror ever since I first saw him in the miniseries version of The Shining. This episode definitely has it's share of gore.... but more-so it has more then it's share of sex/nudity. OK guys... could you imagine having sex with Jenifer!?! Not that I mind the sex or nudity of course... just a notation for those that it might bother. Just like all the other season 1 episodes... this one is loaded with extras.

For those interested... here is the trailer

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 20: FADE
Now you see him, now you don't. A hitman who has the power of invisibility decides to help Clark reunite with Lana by making Lex disappear... permanently. Plus: Is the Fine-Lex conspiracy taking shape?

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... but again one that is nothing very special. Just another basic good episode.

EPISODE 21: ORACLE
He looks like Jonathan. But his message perplexes Clark: Would his father's ghost really send him on a murder mission? Fine obtains the vaccine he seeks. And Kryptonian symbols spell out a warning.

My Thoughts:
This one was good episode... it really set up the season finale well. It was nice to see John Schnider in an episode again.

EPISODE 22: VESSEL
Meet superpowered Lex, the host vessel of ZOD! Clark can stop Zod's vendetta...if he's willing to kill Lex. Lana stands by her man, Fine releases an electronic virus, and Clark - well, see it for yourself.

My Thoughts:
Once again a season of Smallville concludes with a really good cliffhanger episode. I am really looking forward to the season 6 release next month now!
