Georgia Rule, a review by Rich

struggle through georgia...



Three generations of top actresses - two time Academy Award winner Jane Fonda, Lindsay Lohan and Felicity Huffman unite in a film from director Garry Marshall about the power of redemption, freedom in forgiveness and unbreakable bonds of motherhood. When Lily (Huffman) can no longer handle her rebellious teenage daughter, Rachel (Lohan), she takes her to the one place she swore she'd never return...her mother's house. For one very surprising summer, these three very different women are living under one roof and under one rule: Georgia's (Fonda).

A better than anticipated movie, certainly not a comedy as I previously thought. Bold and graphic, in many places obscene and intentionally shocking, watchable and provocative, but the script IMO just stops this being a must-see film.  5/10

Dark Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

20. Love Among the Runes
Max begins to develop strange markings on her body while leading a transgenic resistance against White, when he attempts to capture one of her "brothers". However, the transgenics are stunned by revealed secrets about their "father" that threaten all that they believe and stir up many more questions.

My Thoughts:
Good episode... and was a good set-up for the series finale. pretty much pure action here towards the end.

21. Freak Nation
Max is forced to expose her true identity to the world, when she must defend her own kind during a potentially deadly hostage situation at Jam Pony, involving Joshua and Alec.

My Thoughts:
Now... this was a great episode... and if I am not mistaken... this one was originally meant to be a season finale... not a series finale. It just left too much open... and I so wanted to see more! I remember when I first heard this series was canceled I had hoped for a TV Movie to finish off the series right... and even though I know the chances are extremely slim to none... I still would like to see one. But look what you have... Jessica Alba (Max) is a big time movie star now... Michael Weratherly (Logan) is a hit on NCIS now... and Jensen Ackles (Alec) is HUGE on Supernatural... I don't see them returning for it now.

Anyway... final thoughts on Dark Angel... I still to this day feel this is a wonderfully exciting and action packed series. A series that ended too soon in my opinion.  This is the show that I first noticed the always lovely Jessica Alba on. If you have never seen this series... and you like an action series... mixed with a generous dose of Sci-Fi... then you must check out this series as soon as you possibly can... You won't be sorry!!!
