Green Lantern, a review by dfmorgan

Green Lantern

Year: 2011
Director: Martin Campbell
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard
OverviewWatched: 15th. Oct 2011
My Thoughts: I quite enjoyed this film. As with many others based on US comics I have no real knowledge of the mythos and background so cannot compare with the comics, but overall I thought that how Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) became the Green Lantern and his initial misgivings and eventual acceptance were handled well. The ending of the film sets up for a sequel.

My Rating: An enjoyable 3

But little does she know, her good fortune is about to change. When Ashley shares a kiss at a party with Jake, a bad luck magnet, they miraculously switch paths.

As she desperately races to find Jake and reverse her misfortune, Ashley discovers that her terrible twist of fate is the luckiest thing that ever happened to her.

This is a movie that was given to me a while back... but just now getting the chance to watch. It's not a bad movie... though not one I would call great or see myself watching all that often. I guess what I am saying is that it is entertaining for what it is.. just don't go into it expecting too much. The swapping of luck is the one thing I do like about it. And I like how they ended it... where the luck finally is put. I haven't seen much with Lindsay Lohan in it... as I only have a few of her movies. But going by what I did see... she isn't bad. I wouldn't call myself a fan at this point. But I can see myself getting a few more of her movies if the chance arises. My recommendation on this one? Catch it on cable. If you do decide to pick it up... make sure you get it cheap.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

What's the show about?
Joey Tribbiani is an actor living in L.A. who can't get a decent acting job. He's living with his nephew who is a college student and slightly smarter than Joey - and his sister drops in all the time.

What happened before?
Joey has been living on New York for the last ten years and he had a couple of friends there but life moves on and so did he.

"Pilot"
Joey has just arrived in L.A. but after a few days of shooting his new show it gets cancelled. Now Joey has no job and he's sitting in an empty apartment. And his nephew asks him whether he can move in, too, since he doesn't want to live in his mother's home anymore. Joey's sister Gina is not amused.

My Opinion
I watched a couple of episodes but never the whole season. It simply wasn't the same. Seeing Matt LeBlanc as Joey again was just a sad reminder that Friends is actually over and that there won't be new episodes with the six of them. So I don't think I am going to see this two-season series entirely.
