From the moment I heard about this TV Show I had a feeling I would love it. Finally I got round to buying Seasons 1 6 on DVD and found that I was right.
Tom Welling portrays a teenage Clarke Kent growing up in Smallville, Kansas. Welling is fantastic as the young Clarke struggling with his growing powers and having to keep them a secret from the people closest to him. As the series unfolds we learn more about Clarke's lineage and his destiny. We get to watch him take down what the show lovingly refers to as "Meteor Freaks" overcome personal obstacles and build a friendship with the man who will eventually become his arch nemesis, Lex Luthor.
Welling is surrounded by an amazingly talented cast. Michael Rosenbaum is brilliant as a tortured young Lex, bringing a vulnerable side to his otherwise arrogant character that will break your heart. Kristin Kreuk is beautiful as the kind-hearted Lana Lang, Erica Durance is spunky and damn hot as feisty Lois Lane and, although her character may irritate you to the core, Alison Mack is perfectly cast as driven, witty Chloe Sullivan.
The show is well written and superbly directed. The effects will blow you away and although the Monster-of-The-Week story lines may become tiresome now and then, the story arcs that are developed from Season 2 onwards more than make up for it.
In short, whether or not you are a comic book fan this show appeals on many different levels. Perfectly cast, well written and beautifully executed, this show has it all. Enjoy!

Sixteen year old mermaid princess Ariel dreams of becoming part of the forbidden human world. When she falls in love with the handsome (and human) Prince Eric, Ariel makes a bargain with the wicked sea witch Ursula in exchange for Ariel's voice she is made human for three days during which time she must make the prince fall in love with her and seal the deal with a kiss. Unfortunately for Ariel the path to true love doesn't exactly run smoothly.
The Little Mermaid rescued Disney at a time when animated films were a dying breed. The movie is beautifully drawn, the characters brought to life by a team of talented animators. Aside from head-strong yet lovable Ariel the audience will fall in love with her naïve sidekick Flounder, her scatter-brained seagull friend Scuttle and the ever-watchful Jamaican crab Sebastian. The sea witch Ursula is a brilliantly evil, slimy squid who should strike terror in the hearts of children everywhere and on land gallant Prince Eric is surrounded by a bevy of colourful characters to keep everyone amused, from his stuffy adviser Grims to the insane French cook Louis.
The story is fresh and constantly exciting, helped along by the amazing and catchy musical numbers. Songs such as Part of Your World and Under The Sea have become timeless Disney classics and the score is beautifully executed.
With enough double entendre humour to keep the adults amused and enough colour and magic to keep the kids entertained, this is a true Disney classic a gem that paved the way for more Disney animations such as Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King. The Little Mermaid is a visual treat and a wonderful film, enjoyable for all ages.

Director Gillian Armstrong brings the story of the March sisters to life in this heartwarming adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel.
Amid the gorgeous scenery and breathtaking sets the sisters are brought to life by a team of talented actresses. Winona Ryder shines as Jo, Trini Alvarado is demure and beautiful as Meg, Claire Danes breaks your heart as Beth while Kirsten Dunst is a star in her own right as mischievous Amy. Susan Sarandon makes us all wish she was our mother with her heartwarming portrayal of Marmee.
From sisterly fights as girls to family bonds as women, this movie will make you laugh, cry and every other cliché in the world. The girls will touch your hearts as they overcome family trials, broken hearts and the difficulty of growing up poor amongst the backdrop of the Civil war. It's wonderfully written with amazing cinematography and beautiful direction. The girls share great chemistry that makes their on-screen relationship as sisters believable.
While fans of the novel may be disappointed by the changes made to some of the characters and situations overall the movie brings the core values and emotions from the book to the screen. Ultimately this is a movie about family and even the most cold-hearted person will be touched by this wonderful film.
