A good movie that stirred up some emotions in me. A novel story about a woman who after the recent death of her beloved, discovers life again through a series of letters giving her some gentle (and not so gentle!) nudges from beyond the grave. Good performances all around.... I particularly liked Harry Connick Jr. as the goofy would-be suitor who is constantly kept at arms length throughout the movie. I thought I had the ending all figured out and was surprised to find I was not only wrong but it was a hilarious result!

Hilary Swank bewilders me. I find her beautiful and ugly at the same time. One second she is sexy and angelic and then she makes one of those faces of hers and suddenly she looks like a rat who wants to chew on your ankle. Her set of teeth seem too big for her mouth and it's distracting. Just like Julia Roberts smile seems abnormally big and wide... reminds me of Pennywise the clown. <shudder>

While I am a fan of the late, great Vincent Price... I can't say this one is a favorite of mine. Not that it is a bad movie by any means. I did enjoy it. I just found that about the first half of the film was just too slow for my taste and I found my attention wandering. But in the second half of the film it picked up. And it picked up good. It is definitely worth watching... just expect a slow start on this one.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. Pilot (9/12/93)
Mild-mannered Clark Kent arrives in Metropolis, becomes a reporter for the Daily Planet, and creates his secret Superman identity. His first challenge: stop Lex Luthor from sabotaging the Space Station.

My Thoughts:
This is a double length episode that started the series. I enjoyed every minute of this episode. It is a good introduction to the characters. I did find it strange that they had Lex Luthor with hair.... but that is ok... it didn't take away from the show for me. This season is the only one to have the character of Cat played by Tracy Scoggins.  I don't mind that she was in the only season... as Cat has always been my least favorite character of the series. I really enjoyed the scene where Martha Kent was making Clark's Superman outfit. Some of the costumes they came up for him was pretty funny... but there was actually one or two that I kinda liked. Of course not as much as the real costume... but cool for some newly made up superhero.  Another reason I really like this show... it focuses more on the lives of Lois and Clark... making Superman something Clark can do... not who he is.



2. Strange Visitor (From Another Planet) (9/26/93)
Superman discovers his roots. A phony warrant leads Clark to proof of his alien origin... and to a shadowy federal agent who wants Superman dead.

My Thoughts:
A very good episode to continue from the pilot movie. It had a great story. I really liked how they handled Clark finding out where he is from. It was only a short piece of the story... but it was done well. I did like the pilot movie a little better then this episode... but that could be because of the length. Where they had more time to tell the story then they did in this episode... which was maybe just ever so slightly rushed.
