Extras:

• Featurettes
• Production Notes

Black Adam is a superhero, that I didn't know before. I also was suprised, that he essentially got the Shazam powers. The action sequences were good. There was not much of a story here. I am not suprised, that the movie didn't fair so well. I think Shazam 2 and this movie would have been better, if they would have made it a crossover.

My Boyfriend's Back, a review by addicted2dvd

My Boyfriend's Back
Teenager Johnny Dingle will do anything to keep his date with the hottest girl in school - even come back from the grave! You see, Johnny had the perfect scheme to win the heart of Missy McCloud, the town beauty. Unfortunately, Johnny's scam goes sour and he winds up dead! Even so, Johnny's determined to keep his date - unaware of the hilarity waiting for him upon his return! See for yourself why everyone's dying to see this outlandishly funny comedy!

My Thoughts:
Hmmmm... what is it that I think about this movie. On one hand it is a fun little Romantic comedy horror. It has an enjoyable story and they do some fun things with the fact that he is a zombie. Like when he is making out with his girl in the care she starts to nibble on his ear and his ear falls off. Being a zombie movie they had to put some gore into it. which of course is done more in a comedic way... and really don't look that real or anything. On the other hand there is a lot of over-acting... and I really didn't care for the comic book inserts into the movie. Not to mention some of the stuff in the movie was just plain silly. I am happy I added it to my collection. But it isn't one I would really watch that often.

I just finished the second season this evening. Series is running strong. This season they get away from the "freak of the week" type stories and we start to see continuing arcs. This season Whitley is gone... freeing Lana up for Clark to chase after. In the first several seasons Clark gets one new power per season. The first season he got his X-Ray Vision... this season he got his Heat Vision... which I must say was a fun episode when he got that one! Early on in this season Clark tells his best friend Pete his secret. We also see the first of the Red Kryptonite in this season. As well as the introduction to the caves where Clark reads about himself in the Native American drawings. And finally... This season ends in a heck of a cliffhanger. I had a lot of fun re-watching this season... and looking forward to starting the third season!
