It's her time. Her place. The wickedly regal Mother of All Vampires is ready again to rule! Aaliyah plays the title role in this stylish shocker based on Anne Rice's 'The Vampire Chronicles'. Stuart Townsend portrays Lestat, the undead antihero previously seen in the movie version of Anne Rice's 'Interview with the Vampire'.

I have bought this movie blind about a year ago when it was on sale. I have treaded watching it, as I mostly read negative reviews for this. Those reviews were right. It is a boring movie, though it has its moments.
I watched it today, because my brother was here and wanted to watch it with me. As he is a "Korn" fan (who provide the music in this movie), he often tried watching it when it was on TV, but always fell asleep during it.

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, a review by Rich

that's livin alright in Laos...





Being a big fan of Auf Wied this was always going to appeal. Nothing ground breaking or different from the series, this special was a final hurrah for the travelling brickies from the UK, and their ages dictated that as they were pushing it for this feature. A solid 6/10, but only for existing fans.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 1: BIZARRO
A flood of excitement: Lois, Chloe and Lex are in peril after Reeves Dam breaks. The Phantom Zone escapee who absorbed Clark's DNA must be stopped. But how? MARTINA MANHUNTER has an idea.

My Thoughts:
This was a good episode. I enjoyed it quite a bit. At first I didn't think I would... but I do like how they decided to do Bizzaro.

My Rating:

EPISODE 2: KARA
Blonde. Beautiful. Bad attitude. Kara may have some catching up to do after she stops trying to clobber Clark into the next millennium. After all, they're from the same Kryptonian family.

Also: Lex finds Lana.

My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed a lot. I really liked the way Supergirl (Kara) came out on the series. I also enjoyed the explanation of what happened with Lana.

My Rating:

EPISODE 3: FIERCE


My Thoughts:
Another fun episode. I must say... Kara looked great in that bikini! And I liked the story of the beauty contestant meteor freaks going after the map in the time capsule.

My Rating:

EPISODE 4: CURE
Got a meteor-rock problem? A neurosurgeon claims he can return meteor-infected people to normality. Lana hides a $10-million secret and Chloe and Jimmy face a rift in their togetherness.

My Thoughts:
This is a pretty cool episode. I really enjoyed it. It was cool to see Dean Caine (who played Superman on Lois and Clark) guest star on the show.

My Rating:
