Plot:Maybe I'm stupid but if you call your movie XYZ The Beginning this movie is suppose to be a prequel right? In that case why there is no connection to the first movie? Yes there are three brothers in the first film but... they weren't in a hospital for retarded inbreds and they didn't eat their parents when they were kids (their father is alive and well in the second film). Where the hell that big hospital came from and why it isn't condamned? I think the autorities will know that something isn't right after 27 years with no contact...

Anyway the fact this movie make no sense is the least of its problem... Once again we have a bunch of unlikable, uncharismatic and boring characters. We got some of the stupidest lines ever writen in a horror film: seriously,at one point they put the three inbreds in a jail but when one of the guy wants to kill them as they deserve one of the girl say "we can't kill them because we will be like them". Boo hoo cry me a fricking river, they just killed four of your friends and eat them fricking retarded liberal hippie. What do you want to do? Take a guitar and sing Kumbaya for the rest of the night...

Another stupid movie in that franchise.

THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Scottsboro: An American Tragedy, a review by Antares

THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Scottsboro: An American Tragedy (2000) 78/100 - Our nation was forged upon a dream that all men are created equal, but for the breadth of our existence, our history has been consumed by the nightmarish flames of inequality, intolerance and racial bigotry. In 1931, on a train bound for Mississippi, a few white, wild boys of the road, tried to exercise what they thought was their God given right to bully a group of young colored boys. What ensued was a fight, upon which the colored boys vanquished their oppressors, and tossed them from the train. Incensed at their treatment, the white boys sought out the local sheriff and told of being attacked by the colored boys. A message was sent ahead to Paint Rock, Alabama and that local sheriff formed a posse to meet the train. When the train was stopped, two young white girls got off one of the rail cars and proceeded to tell the sheriff that they had both been raped by a group of colored boys. And like a runaway train with no breakman, one of this country's greatest miscarriages of justice was set in motion. Nine men, all colored and ranging in age from 13 - 33 years old were arrested and charged with rape. They barely survived being lynched that day and the National Guard was called out to protect them from mob violence. Their trial was mired in Jim Crow justice, a perjured victim and a recanting of the original charge by the other victim. Yet, throughout multiple trials, which repeatedly found its way up the judicial food chain, all the way up to the Supreme Court, these defendants were repeatedly found guilty of the charges.

The documentary itself, relates the events and incidences that occurred during the years this fiasco took place. It never really delves too deep into the motivations of the main victim's reasoning for creating the lie. It only scratches the surface of the incident and is best served as an introduction to the story for those who have never heard of it.

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

9. GEMINI
There's something different about Clark when he comes back after weeks away at the Fortress. And there's little different about Grant and the Belle Reve inmate who plants a bomb on Chloe.

My Thoughts:
I completely forgot this episode was a Christmas episode. But that could be because Christmas is really only a backdrop to the episode. It is a pretty good episode. Not the best I ever seen... but entertaining.

My Rating:

10. PERSONA
Clark seems like a new person with Lana (and she's definitely not complaining). Meanwhile, BRAINIAC seeks a remedy to his plight, Grant reaches out to his father and a certain red-jacketed person resurfaces.

My Thoughts:
A pretty good episode but once again not a favorite. But it does have it's moments. I really don't care too much for the Grant storyline.

My Rating:

11. SIREN


My Thoughts:
Now this episode I really liked. One of my favorites. I mean we got the Black Canary, Green Arrow and Lois finds out Oliver's secret. Lots of fun!

My Rating:

12. FRACTURE
No exit. Lex is wounded and in a coma after locating Kara, so Clark uses experimental technology to enter his mind and discover Kara's whereabouts. He may never get back out: Lex flatlines, trapping Clark inside.

My Thoughts:
This is a good... but somewhat weird episode. But I think that is to be expected when we take a trip into Lex's mind. After a bit of a break we have Kara back. Even if she still has amnesia.

My Rating:
