Smallville

Wow. I finally finished the series. I'm seriously laughing my butt off at the fact that they never show Tom Welling in his full Superman get-up. I mean, they show him in the distance wearing it, and they show his face, but there's no top-to-bottom tight-sy goodness...whcih I'm glad about. It's not the best suit, in my opinion. I liked the ending, except that I can't believe they waited 7 years to get married. Though maybe this is to help the story fit in with the rest of the Superman canon where Clark Kent and Lois Lane meet at the Daily Planet. I'd just like to know what happened in those 7 years which made them decide that that would be the right amount of time. I would have also liked to see Ollie with his son, but maybe that's asking too much.

Lucky # Slevin

Very good movie...you should watch it.

When we were deciding what movie to watch tonight the only thing we were told was "It's better than The Departed". Well, I've never seen the departed, but those who have were doubtful...until the movie finished and there were cheers all around. I won't go into the plot and you shouldn't either. One friend was NOT allowed to read out the teaser on the back of the box because "figuring out the plot is half of the plot". I can agree with that statement.

Beware: blood, murder, violence, a bit of gore. Some sex. But I dislike these things and they did not turn me away from this film--it fit the story they were trying to tell, not thrown in because that's what sells movies. :-)
