A very good Superman movie. I enjoyed it very much. It has been awhile since I saw it, and I didn't remember many details anymore. So it was like a watching a new movie. I liked the voice acting, although I had a hard time not seeing Adam Baldwin and James Masters' faces when listing to Superman and Luthor.
This movie is surprisingly violent.

Jonah Hex, a review by RossRoy

WHAT THEY SAY

OUT OF THE PAGES OF THE LEGENDARY COMICS AND GRAPHIC NOVELS STEPS JONAH HEX (Josh Brolin), a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort who has survived death and can track anyone...and anything. Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His one human connection is with Lilah (Megan Fox), where life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah's past catches up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: to wipe out the warrants on his head, he must hunt and stop dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, now gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead.

MY THOUGHTS

What to say? Guess you could say it's your run-of-the-mill, drab, soulless revenge story. Nothing stands out in this. A few pretty big explosions, some interesting weapon design. That's about it. Boring story. Bland acting. Uninspired direction. Only redeeming quality, and that's not much, Megan Fox manages to not look like a tramp all the time. Guess that's something, considering she plays a whore.

The IT Crowd: Version 3.0 - (mini) marathon, a review by Achim

4. The Speech
Back to form after the slowdown that was episode 3 I had tears in my eyes from laughing. Jen is awarded Employee of the Month and must hold a speech for the stock holders. Roy and Moss decide to help in order to play a practical joke. Meanwhile Douglas has an affair with a reporter who has an unusual past, but he doesn't care. Both storylines ultimately come together in a hilarious climax.
