Girl, Interrupted, a review by Rich

Girl, Interrupted





A substandard cuckoos nest, with women.
Great acting by Ryder, Jolie and Murphy kept me interested in a film which was at times quite difficult to relate to. Despite the setting, subject matter and a few harrowing moments, this true story is surprisingly uplifting, detailing a number of friendships and a young womans journey into understanding her position in life.
The film provides a believable insight into a mental institution and is very thought provoking, Jolies performance alone is worth the cost of the dvd.

My Thoughts:
This one was the choice of my daughter Brittany. While entertaining... this is in no way in the league of Toy Story.  It is good enough to hold my attention through-out... but over-all it is just average. I did get a bit of a kick out of the little green men.

Plot:Daily Planet with a year's worth of headlines.

The production team whose big-screen spectacular revitalized live-action Superman adventures brings a live-action Boy of Steel to the small screen with 26 year-one episodes of the series that ran four heroic seasons. What emergency compelled Clark to emerge as Superboy? When did Clark/Superboy first encounter the green menace of Kryptonite? How did Lex Luthor lose his hair? The series has its own entertaining visions of key moments in the lore. So, enroll at Shuster U. Class is now in session.


Superboy
1.01 The Jewel of the Technacal
Cast: John Haymes Newton (Clark Kent/Superboy), Stacy Haiduk (Lana Lang), Jim Calvert (T.J. White), Peter White (Professor Thomas Lang), Scott Wells (Lex Luthor), Michael Manno (Leo), Gregg Todd Davis (Haines), Forest Neal (Dean Thompson), Bob Barnes (Dr. Spencer)

This is the first episode which aired, though not the first one shot. I had enjoyed this season when I first watched it. Sadly no further seasons were ever released on DVD.

Rating:


Superboy
1.05 Countdown to Nowhere
Cast: John Haymes Newton (Clark Kent/Superboy), Stacy Haiduk (Lana Lang), Jim Calvert (T.J. White), Doug Barr (Roscoe Williams), Duriel Harris (Theodore), Noah Meeks (Miller), Fred Broderson (Detective), Jay Glick (Security Chief), Paul J. Darby (Radar Operator)

I decided that I would also watch this episode. This one was shot to be the pilot but it then aired as the fifth episode. In this episode, Superboy makes his first public appearance.
