Lex-cellent

I really should be posting my review for “The Amityville Horror,” but I’m just not in the mood to write a long review of it. So here’s a brief one. It was pretty good. Ryan Reynolds rocked and is really fucking hot. The movie is worth seeing just to watch him do the whole Jack Nicholson, descent-into-madness thing… I’d much rather talk about last night’s episode of “Smallville.” I’m the first to admit that this season has been really weak. There have been 4 or 5 good episodes and all the rest have been forgettable at best. Last night was one of the good ones. Michael was in practically every scene. It was all Lex, all the time, and that’s never a bad thing. It’s all anybody has talked to me about this morning. They all want to discuss how fucking awesome Michael was. The script was not particularly well written, but he took what he got and ran with it. Here’s what Michael himself had to say about the episode:

"I'll be honest, I freaked out when I first saw this script. The first thing I do when I get a script, I don't read it, I go through and see how much I'm in it, like every other actor. ‘My line, my line, bullshit, my line.' I started looking at it and realized, 'There are 50 pages in this fucking script, and I'm in 47 of them.' I freaked out and took a Xanax."

What can I say? He’s a funny guy. If any of you missed this ep, it’s worth catching on a re-run this summer. It was called “Onyx” and it reminded me why I watch this show. Next week’s ep does not look promising. Lois is back. Ick. Michael will barely be in it. Double ick. The week after that may be ok. Lex gets to betray Clark as his ultimate descent into darkness really begins. Here’s hoping we get to see much more of Lex’s dark side next season. It makes things soooo much more interesting…
