Daredevil - Rabbit in a Snowstorm

Daredevil continues to develop the underworld of Hell’s Kitchen in another episode that touches on the unseen motives of a mysterious new player’s power grab. In terms of the season arc choices made here further basic plot points and character development in the increasing tension between Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio), but it terms of logic for this episode “Rabbit in a Snowstorm” leaves more than a little to be desired as Wesley‘s (Toby Leonard Moore) recruitment of Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) to defend a killer (Alex Morf) of their organization on self-defense charges doesn’t in any way help the Kingpin (who had already bought the jury), certainly doesn’t do any damage to the lawyers, don’t make the case look any more legit (because absolutely no one is paying attention to it), and only further reveals pieces of the mysterious adversary for Daredevil to eventually hunt down and hear the name “Wilson Fisk” for the first time.

Top Ten Memorial Day Box Office Movies

Top Ten Memorial Day Box Office Movies

Until recently with big-budget super-hero films opening in late March and April, Memorial Day weekend has long been the unofficial beginning of the summer movie season. When you take a look at the top ten box office movies over Memorial Day weekend what you find is a collection of sadly mediocre, and downright awful, films. Seven of the top ten are sequels. Of the six I’ve written full reviews for only two have received a passing rating. Memorial Day may begin the summer movie season, but, as these ten movies show, it’s far from the best summer blockbusters have to offer.

Daredevil - Cut Man

“Cut Man” opens with a battered and bruised Daredevil (Charlie Cox) found by nurse Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) who has heard the stories of a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the streets of Hell’s Kitchen and decides to attend to his wounds. The severity of the his wounds and Daredvil’s unwillingness to share anything about himself to his savior mean it takes quite some time before the second episode fills in the gaps as to what led Matt Murdock to be left in a dumpster for Claire to find.

Samurai Jack - Episode I: The Beginning

Genndy Tartakovsky‘s vision of a time-displaced samurai warrior lost in a dystopian future ruled over by an all-powerful evil shape-shifting demon might be both the most unlikely and ingenious animated series ever to air on Cartoon Network. Episode I, which ends with Samurai Jack (Phil LaMarr) being sent into the future, is the only episode of the series to take place completely in the warrior’s own timeline. Introducing us to the evil that is Aku (Mako) and the young warrior who will grow into his greatest nemesis, “The Beginning” offers us glimpses of the samurai’s training around the globe following Aku’s return to power and enslavement over Jack’s home. To refer to these sequences as a montage would not do them justice as Tartakovsky transforms the young boy into the warrior fans will come to know and love with a collection visuals without the need for narration or a single word of dialogue.
