Plot:
HE'S BACK. A hero for our millennium. And not a moment too soon, because during the five years (much longer in movie-fan years!) Superman sought his home planet, things changed on his adopted planet. Nations moved on without him. 'Lois Lane' now has a son, a fiancé and a Pulitzer for "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." And Lex Luthor has a plan that will destroy millions - no, billions - of lives.
Filmmaker Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2) gives the world the Superman it needs, honoring the legend everyone loves while taking it in a powerful new direction. Brandon Routh proves a perfect choice to wear the hero's cape, leading a top cast that includes Kate Bosworth as Lois and Kevin Spacey as Lex. And the thrills - from a sky-grapple with a tumbling jumbo jet to a continent-convulsing showdown - redefine 'Wow'. "I'm always around," Superman tells Lois. You'll be glad he is.

My Thoughts:
This is essentially a two and a half hour love letter to Superman 1 and 2. I like it. There are only two things which could have done without: The child and Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. Nothing against her. I think she did a fine job. But she is too young to be believable in that role.Kevin Spacey is perfect as Lex Luthor. The new Superman did a good job and managed quite well to follow Christopher Reeve's footsteps. I would have liked to see a sequel to this movie. Sadly we did not get to see one. Instead we will get a reboot (which I am excited to see nevertheless).

My Thoughts:
Decided to watch this one with my daughter today. We both been wanting to check it out for some time now. This one I enjoyed quite a bit. The graphics on this animated movie was fantastic... and I enjoyed the storyline as well. Definitely one I feel comfortable recommending. Brittany on the other hand wasn't too impressed with this one.My Rating:

Angel: Season 2
21. Through the Looking Glass
Original Air Date: 5/15/2001
Angel and friends work overtime to survive in a foreign dimension. Cordelia discovers her dirty duty as Princess of Pylea is to mate with a creature called the Groosalugg. She's unable to escape the palace with Wesley and Gunn, and the priests keeping watch over her also prove to be less than trustworthy.

Mark Lutz
My Thoughts:
A good continuation from the last episode. I really liked how they designed Angel's vampire form for this new dimension. Then there is a bit of a surprises at the end of the episode. And I must say... Cordelia looks pretty cute in the princess outfit... though she did look better in the bikini a couple episodes ago!
