Chasing Happiness Review

There’s beauty to Chasing Happiness that my 13-year-old self wouldn’t have been able to grasp. I don’t think even my crushed-over-their-breakup 17-year-old self could grasp it. Maybe, like Chasing Happiness suggests, you just have to go a certain way and develop on your own before you can see certain things.

Just like a lot of women my age, the Jonas Brothers were a big part of my life at a certain point. It wasn’t something I followed on my own; it’s very likely that I wouldn’t have cared for them at all if it wasn’t for my little sister. Nonetheless, she was hooked the moment she was introduced to their music (to the point I scoured half the world to find a copy of Be Mine), and admittedly, I fell in love, too. We’d hang out in the living room, singing out loud as we played Tonight, Fly With Me or Paranoid (the clips Disney Channel had here) over and over and over again on telly. It was… magical.

Good Omens World Premiere – Report

As far as premieres go, Amazon sure as Hell have zero idea what they’re doing (pun absolutely intended).

The Green Carpet was, admittedly, very pretty to look at. Amazon had lined up a thick green carpet (meant to look like grass, aka Eden), with apple trees set by its side. They also brought some signs, going from “have a nice doomsday” and “welcome to the end times” to parts of Agnes Nutter’s prophecies. Those signs were set next to the trees, giving a fairly complete Good Omens experience. It was hilarious to see the apples actually tied to the trees (clearly visible when you’re standing close to it), but from a distance it didn’t stand out, so it didn’t really change the general impression (as long as you weren’t too close). On one end of the green carpet they built a green stage; on another there was the Bentley and behind it, their version of Eden (lots of trees and greenery). It was beautiful to look at from afar – I have no doubt it looked stunning through the cameras.

Good Omens Episodes 1-2 Reviews

Two days ago I got to be one of the fans who had the extraordinary luck to attend the World Premiere of Good Omens and see the first two episodes at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square. While the premiere experience itself was somewhat disappointing (more on that in a full report soon), the episodes most certainly weren’t.

Here’s my brief, spoiler-free review of the episodes we’ve watched.
