A Christmas Carol: Review

While the central message of Charles Dickens' classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL is that money isn't everything, this inert cartoon version--with its lifeless animation and limp songs--appears to have been churned out simply to make a buck.

When Scrooge's nephew Fred invites him for dinner, Scrooge decline... read more

Question: Any scoop on Smallville? Answer: Tomorrow night's holiday-themed episode takes a page from A Christmas Carol and shows Lex what his future could be like should he decide to take the good, honorable path. (Translation: No cheating on AA "contests.") This alternate reality is set seven years into the future with Lex happily married (with children) to Lana and free from daddy's iron grip.

I don't want to give away the whole enchilada, but TV Guide's resident Smallville junkie Rich Sands wanted me to tell AA readers "not to miss the last five minutes" as it "represents a major turning point for Lex."
