After being shot and left for dead Becca (Ashley Judd) is forced to enlist the help of an old friend (Cyrielle Clair). In order to continue to search for her son Michael (Nick Eversman), Becca blackmails the Deputy Director of French Intelligence (Joaquim de Almeida) into offering his help, but the agreement they reach does mean Becca will have to give up something as well – namely the proof of the man’s corruption she’s using to blackmail him with in the form the witness (Lothaire Bluteau) who could put him away for murder and corruption.

Snake Eyes #11

/ / Comics

snake-eyes-11-cover“Cobra Command” continues as the JOE’s try to pick up the pieces after being unable to stop COBRA from detonating nuclear weapons in Nanzhao. The remaining JOE’s, including Flint, Hard Drive, Tripwire, and Roadblock, are fight for their lives against B.A.T. robots while Snake Eyes goes after Storm Shadow and his army of Arashikage ninja.

After dispatching quite a few ninja, Snake Eyes finds himself before his sword-brother who makes him an offer he can’t refuse, and Helix can’t believe. Admitting to Snake Eyes the the new Cobra Commander is now their common enemy Storm Shadow offers a truce between the two to cripple COBRA and take revenge for the assassination of his former master Oda Satori.

Snake Eyes turn is certainly of interest, and you’d have to assume the pair (for however long they can co-exist) will be a huge threat to COBRA and their new commander. Although unexpected it does give Snake Eyes a very real opportunity to take down the terrorist organization who the JOE’s couldn’t stop from nuking an entire country. Worth a look.

[IDW, $3.99]

The group reconnects after returning from winter break. Jeff (Joel McHale) admits to seeing a new therapist who has proscribed an anti-anxiety medication that sadly overemphasizes his worst qualities by making him even more narcissistic than usual. Meanwhile Annie (Alison Brie) becomes concerned with Abed’s (Danny Pudi) new fixation of hiring celebrity impersonators for his own personal use – especially after the group learns he owes $3,000 to the service’s owner who looks remarkably like French Stewart.

the-muppets-blu-rayThis past summer the Muppets returned to the big screen in a big way thanks to co-writer and star Jason Segel, along with some great (and Oscar-winning) songs from the Flight of the Conchords‘ Bret McKenzie, and all of our favorite Muppet characters including Kermit the Frog (Steve Whitmire), Fozzie (Eric Jacobson), Gonzo (Dave Goelz), Rowlf (Bill Barretta), Scooter (David Rudman), Animal (Jacobson), Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mahem, Beaker (Whitmire), Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Goelz), and Miss Piggy (Jacobson).

When the Muppet Studios are threatened by a greedy oil baron (Chris Cooper) who plans to tear the studio down to drill for oil, Walter (Peter Linz), the Muppets biggest fan, along with his brother Gary (Segel) and Gary’s fiance Mary (Amy Adams) pull the Muppets back together to put on one more show. For more on the movie read my original review.
