Do they hold up?
Check out my thoughts after the jump.

Smallville: Random, Awesome and WTF?! - S3E09: Asylum
Clark knows Lex is only crazy about him, so he decides to try and bust him out of Belle Reve where he encounters the Ghosts of Douchebags Past in the form of Meteor Freaks he put in there.It’s like Smallville’s Greatest Hits or something…
The Random:
1. Belle Reve is like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest mixed with every horror movie asylum complete with unscrupulous guards, gibbering crazies, and archaic therapies.
2. Claire Foster’s death after deciding to stop mind frying Lex comes as a surprise to exactly no one.
3. It’s a good thing that two massive electrical explosions and surges in a span of five minutes don’t alarm anyone, or the one dead and two escaped patients either…

NICOLAS WINDING REFN Talks About DRIVE And Its Possible Sequel
Director Nicolas Winding Refn is tired of talking about Drive, but don't think that means he isn't proud of the success. Now he's talking about doing the sequel.
In an interview with shortlist Refn talked about the success of the film, working on his next project with Ryan Gosling and moving on to a sequel. The follow up to the novel is set to come out in the spring.
Just Look Away: UNKNOWN
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're beginning our descent into Berlin Tegel, where local time is 8:30 AM, and the temperature is a cool minus four degrees."Unknown is a thriller from 2011 that’s 55% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes, where 57% of viewers report liking it.
Why Bother?
"Do you know what it feels like to become insane, doctor? It's like a war between
being told who you are and knowing who you are. Which do you think wins?"
If you enjoyed Taken, you probably want to see Liam Neeson kick ass again.
If you watch Mad Men, you might be a fan of January Jones.
Diane Kruger, Aidan Quinn, Frank Langella, and Bruno Ganz (loved him in Wings of Desire) round out the cast.
Perhaps you read the novel, Out of My Head, by Didier Van Cauwelaert and want to see the adaptation.
If you liked House of Wax (2005) or Orphan (2009), Jaume Collet-Serra also directed Unknown.
After the break, I’ll tell you why none of those are good enough reasons to watch this movie.

Contest! Win A WRINKLE IN TIME 50th Anniversary and More!
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."
A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.
A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal and now, is available in a 50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition which features:
- Frontispiece photo*†
- Photo scrapbook with approximately 10 photos*†
- Manuscript pages*†
- Letter from 1963 Caldecott winner, Ezra Jack Keats*†
- New introduction by Katherine Paterson, US National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature †
- New afterword by Madeleine L’Engle’s granddaughter Charlotte Voiklis including six never-before-seen photos †
- Murry-O’Keefe family tree with new artwork †
- Madeleine L’Engle’s Newbery acceptance speech
† never previously published
And to celebrate this milestone, we're giving away a copy of the 50th Anniversary edition of A Wrinkle In Time and a $50 VISA gift card!
GEOFF JOHNS Talks SHAZAM Reboot and Movie Possibilities.
He's been known as Captain Marvel for a while, but now Geoff Johns is working on a reboot for the hero who shouts Shazam.
In an interview with Newsarama, Johns talked about The Curse of Shazam! A new monthly series of 10-page backup stories in Justice League. He talked about why he chose the character saying, "It's such a different flavor. It's less a superhero story and more of a magical adventure about a kid who doesn't have a family. It's just such a different tone, and the pacing's very different."
