My Thoughts:
I first saw this movie shortly after a lot of my colleagues have been let go. In a way it hit close to home. But surprisingly I still enjoyed this movie a great deal. Also this time around I enjoyed watching it. Rating:

My Thoughts:
This one was recommended to me a while back and when I saw it on sale at Amazon for only $3.99 I couldn't resist checking it out. And it was definitely worth the price paid. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Sure a couple of the scenes were a bit over the top for the story. But over-all I enjoyed it... glad I added it to my collection.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd
Season 3: Disc 5:
17. Legacy
When Jonathan begins to act strangely, Clark believes Jor-El is sending Jonathan messages through the key and is the cause for his father's withdrawal from the family.
My Thoughts:
This one was a really good episode... the return of Virgil Swann (Christopher Reeve)... a fight between Jonathan Kent and Lionel Luthor... and the continuation of the arc that divulges Clark's origin. What more can you ask?
18. Truth
When Chloe accidentally inhales a mysterious krypto-gas, she discovers it acts as a truth serum to anyone who comes in contact with her and decides to take advantage of her new power by going to the Kents to find out Clark's secret.
My Thoughts:
This is an episode I liked a lot. In this one there is a few long running questions answered. I think this episode ranks up there with my favorites. Besides... any reason for a Chloe episode makes me happy!
19. Memoria
Believing that key information about his father's past was lost when his memory was erased, Lex decides to join an experimental program with Dr. Garner to regain the information so he can turn his father over to the FBI.
My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... but couldn't call it one of my favorites. It does answer the question of what exactly is it that caused Lex and Lionel to be against each other as badly as they are. It was pretty cool to see Clark's earliest memory of his real mother placing him in the ship.
