Curse of the Wolf, a review by Jimmy

Title : Curse of the Wolf (2006)

Overview
A young woman, Dakota (Renee Porada) has finally found a way to "control" her Lycanthrope metamorphosis and desires to live a "normal life". All might be well if not for Dakota's "pack", who wants a different life for Dakota... to live in werewolf immortality and hunt with them forever!

My Impression
Not too bad... Of course the werewolf make-up is a little bit weak, but it's understandable since the movie was probably made for less than 50,000$. The story is original and the highlight of this movie, and the reason I like it, are the numerous martial art fight. All those fight are well choreographed and look real to me, of course the fact that most of the cast members are specialist in different fighting technics help. Most of the acting isn't that great, but when one of those actors is Darian Caine who cares if this is well act or not The music is annoying and don't really fit for the most part, the instrumental pieces are ok (the problem is the songs).

This isn't An American Werewolf in London, but this is certainly better than The Howling 2 and Bad Moon.

I'm always surprised when I am able to say this... but I enjoyed this one more then the first one. Really it is just more of the same... except they did away with the gross-out humor. Which in my eyes is an improvement over the firs film. I feel comfortable recommending this one. It is worth the time put in to watch it.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

20. Ageless
Clark and Lana discover an abandoned baby in the cornfield and take him back to the Kent farm. However, once the baby ages from a newborn to a 7-year-old in a matter of days, the two realize he is aging at a rapid rate and frantically search for a cure before the disease kills him.

My Thoughts:
This one... to me is only an OK episode. Nothing special here what so ever... but it is Smallville... so for that alone I enjoyed it.

21. Forever
Clark must stop the school photographer after he sets up a secret simulated high school and begins kidnapping students -- starting with Chloe -- to keep the glory days of high school going forever.

My Thoughts:
This one however.. was a really good episode.I enjoyed it a lot. I also really liked the effects they used for this episode. This is the episode where the gang says goodbye to High School... and Hello to the next step in their lives... as they finish out the last day of school.

22.Commencement
Clark begins to piece together the reason he was sent to Earth after he has a nightmare that something horrible is going to happen to Smallville and heads to the cave to seek answers from Jor-El. His biological father tells him he must reunite the three crystals immediately or a disaster of epic proportions will befall the planet and even Clark won't be able to stop it.

My Thoughts:
This was a great episode! So much going on in this episode... if you blink you might miss something!  I love it... they had another cliffhanger season finale of course... the cliffhangers weren't as good this season as they were last season in my opinion.... but I did love (hated when originally aired) how they  showed Clark throw the crystal to create the Fortress of Solitude... but just as he threw it we see "To Be Continued". Awesome! at least it is now that I have them on DVD... I hated waiting the summer before seeing the Fortress when it originally aired!
