My Thoughts:

This is the TV Movie that started the series. Going into this show I really didn't know what to expect. I mean I really like pretty much anything to do with Vampires... but at the same time it is a Disney Channel show. And they can be geared towards a much younger crowd.... if not the entire family. Though I must say that over-all I enjoyed the movie. Sure it is geared towards a younger crowd. Mainly pre-teens and lower teen years. But I was still able to enjoy it. And they did the vampire deaths pretty good.

The African Queen, a review by Danae Cassandra




The African Queen
Year of Release: 1951
Directed By: John Huston
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn
Genre: Adventure, Romance

Overview:The African QueenThe African QueenMy Thoughts:
What a great film!  It's a simple story, and there are only really two stars - but if you had to have two people to carry a movie, you certainly aren't going to get much better than Bogart & Hepburn.  They're both spectacular.  This is the heart and soul of the film, and they make their characters interesting and compelling.  The story, while simple, has plenty of excitement, and is a good mix of action and romance, with bits of humor sprinkled in.  The cinematography is great, for a film of this age - some of the effects, which would have been extremely good for their day, are pretty obvious today for being effects, but you do have to consider the age here.  None of the rest of it, however, would matter without the superb performances from Bogart & Hepburn.  Highly recommended, can't think of anyone I wouldn't rec this to.

Bechdel Test: Fail

Overall: 4.5/5

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.
