Movies: ‘Green Lantern,’ ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins,’ ‘Tree of Life’
This weekend, movie goers have a wide range of options to choose from. For mainstream audiences, there’s “The Green Lantern,” which stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Peter Sarsgaard. For families and kids, there’s “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” starring Jim Carey and Angela Lansbury. And for the indie crowd, “The Tree of Life,” directed by Terrence Malick and starring Brad Pitt, goes into wide release. If you could only see one, which would it be? Rafer Guzman and Kristen Meinzer voice their opinions. In addition to hosting the Takeaway Movie Date podcast, Rafer is a film critic for Newsday, and Kristen is a culture producer for the Takeaway.
