I haven't watched this movie for years, but it was still very enjoyable. Usually in movies, the beautiful blonde sorority girl is the bad guy and the plain looking ones are the good ones. This time it's the other way around.
Also some new familiar faces are to be seen here, which I didn't know when I have watched the movie the last time.

My Thoughts:
Before watching this movie I found the trailer online to watch. And let me tell you t didn't make me to confident in the movie. They turned it much more towards comedy then they did horror. Now I normally enjoy a good comedy horror... but I don't like it that they went from a straight horror and then turned comedic with a sequel. But the problem is that the comedy in it is just not funny. It just makes you want to shake your head in disapproval. I wouldn't say I didn't get any entertainment value out of it... but it is definitely not good. I am however glad that I heard the next part is better then this one. I am really not counting on it... but I sure hope so!

Smallville Marathon #2, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: Lana has a secret admirer who sends her poems but Clark is overprotective and assumes he is a stalker. Clark and Ross finally find the young man who is held captive in the basement of the house of by his parents. But when they release him, he transforms and not even Clark is able to stop him.

My Opinion: Lana's grudge with Clark didn't even last one episode. I find it always interesting how people manage to hold helicopters on the ground just because they are strong enough - yet they aren't anchored to the ground in any way. It's one of the riddles about superpowers I probably never solve. I liked it, though and it was nice to see Richard Moll (Bull in Night Court) again although it was only a small role.

Synopsis: Two students die of old age in short succession and that can't be a coincedence. Someone seems to suck the life out of them to stay young. But the Kent family has yet another problem: They need some additional money and there's a person who could help: Martha's father. But Jonathan and he have a long, bad history that Clark tries to mend.

My Opinion: A standard FotW episode where the bad gal died a bit too fast in my opinion. But I liked to see that even the Kents can't solve all their family issues, it makes them more normal.

Synopsis: A woman comes to town who claims to be Clark's real mother. She also claims that he is a half-brother of Lex's. Meanwhile Lana tries to find out whether a certain man is her biological father. It is also revealed, how the Kents managed to get adoption papers for Clark.

My Opinion: A "family" episode that I liked a lot. It is interesting to see how the "average television family" has changed over the decades, from the "perfect" housewife, the husband and the two children to what we've seen in recent years (the families in ER, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24, ... and Smallville). I never noticed before that Chloe's mother has been mentioned that early in the show, although her fate hasn't been revealed yet.

Synopsis: Ryan calls from the Summerholt Institute where he is held as research object. Clark rescues him but that nearly lands him in prision for kidnapping. Ryan's ability to read minds is based on a brain tumor that will kill him. Clark and Lex try to prevent that.

My Opinion: A very emotional episode and a very sad one. I find it interesting how they made the comic Warrior Angel a forebode of things to come. Funny thing to say about a fantasy series but it makes it more realistic that Clark isn't able to save everyone, especially when there's nothing that he can do personally.
