TV Review: Smallville – “Lazarus”



Smallville returns for it's 10th and final season this Friday at 8pm on the CW! During the 9th Season Finale, Clark had to face off against Major Zod with the fate of the Earth hanging in the balance. Clark was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice and activated the Kryptonian device known as the "Book of Rao," sending the Kandorians to a new world. After activating the device, Clark was attacked by Zod. While the final battle ensued, Clark allowed himself to be stabbed with a blue kryptonite blade, which removed his powers and allowed him to remain on Earth. The final moments of the season featured Clark, now powerless, plunging to an impending doom. What will become of Kal-El?

Blu-ray Review: Mars Attacks!

Tim Burton has been involved in the production of a lot of interesting movies in his day, and Mars Attacks! certainly shows a lot of the same creative flair that appears in other works that bear his name. A big, broad parody of B-movie science fiction films, Mars Attacks! is characterized by its huge, star studded cast, over-the-top action, and absolute disregard for life, human or otherwise. Now Mars Attacks! is out on Blu-ray and we all have the opportunity for one little piece of 1996 again.

Blu-ray Review: Smallville: The Complete Ninth Season

We've been with Clark Kent through a lot. We've seen his Superbaby crash and Smallville High School years, we've seen him through his tempestuous "will they or won't they?" relationships with Lana Lang, Lois Lane, and arguably Chloe Sullivan and Lex Luthor as well (The subtext is in there, just ask any Smallville slash writer!). We've seen him go from meteor freaks to DC's D-List to the nascent Justice League to the Legion of Super-Heroes and even Doomsday, and yet he survives for yet another season.

DVD Review: Chuck- Season 3

Coming in strong off its amazing and impressive second season, NBC's Chuck had a lot to live up to in its third season. With no single bad episode yet, viewers kept wondering not if but when Chuck would finally stumble. Viewers figured it was a inevitability, and with its title character now a full-fledged spy – and not just a bank of information but also a Swiss Army knife set of skills – would this cause the show's title character to lose his odd man out/underdog appeal he had in the first two seasons?

Blu-ray Review: Lost In Space

Hollywood sure went sci-fi remake crazy after CGI hit the scene, didn't it? The Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, Planet of the Apes: All classic science fiction films from the 50s and 60s that have earned remakes in the past ten years. Among the earlier CG-heavy sci-fi remakes is Lost in Space, the 1998 film recreating the universe of the 1960s TV show of the same name.

Now Lost in Space is available on Blu-ray!

For Frankie Heck (Patricia Heaton), life is ordinary. She has a husband and three kids. She has a house and a job. She balances work and home. The difference between her and everyone else is that Frankie’s kids are oddballs, her husband is overly honest, she is terrible at her job, her idea of dinner is a drive-thru and she lives in the middle of nowhere: Orson, Indiana. Welcome to The Middle- Season One, now available on DVD!

Blu-ray Review: A Scanner Darkly


What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again. I'll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too.
