Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #5While John Stewart leads the Green Lantern Corps out of hiding and back into the universe, where they learn about the Sinestro Corps takeover, and Guy Gardner gets intimately acquainted with Sinestro‘s Fear Engine, the series’ focus shifts back to Hal Jordan. After explaining the steps Soranik took to save Hal’s life, the two sit down to catch up allowing the Green Lantern to heal and learn just what Sinestro has been up to in Hal’s absence.

The scenes between Hal and Soranik are the highlight of a mostly action-free issue. Along with discovering what his arch-nemesis has been up to the dialogue also allows Hal to reveal that the metamorphosis which began before Rebirth continues to effect him in ways he can’t yet explain. Soranik can offer no explanation about what is happening to her former teammate or where the changes may eventually lead.

KeanuWritten by and starring comedic duo Key & Peele, Keanu feels like most movies based on sketch comedy. More a collection of gags than a truly engaging story, the film offers the basic set-up of two regular guy thrown into desperate circumstances through no fault of their own when a gangster’s kitten shows up on Rell’s (Jordan Peele) door. When the cat is stolen the pair will struggle to play the roles of drug dealing killers to get little Keanu back.

Like most sketch comedy films, the results are mixed at best. Although several of the movie’s jokes work there are just as many that don’t hit their mark. Despite the undeniable cuteness of the kitten, the film’s weak premise may offer plenty of opportunities for the pair to act like fools but that doesn’t necessarily translate into a coherent or entertaining film.

Star Wars #23

/ / Comics

Star Wars #23Following the events of the last issue in which Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca were able to successfully steal a Star Destroyer from under the Empire’s nose, Star Wars #23 is a goofy follow-up issue whose focus is split on the crew working to make repairs to the starship while Han and Leia devolve into petulant children arguing who exactly is the ship’s new Captain. Somehow a race across the length of the Star Destroyer (in which both parties cheat) becomes the only way to solve the impasse.

While not focusing on Han and Leia’s race through the ship (which is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds), the latest issue allows Luke and Sana to spend some time together, and takes time to flashback to the origins of the unorthodox Rebel plan.
