psych-season-five-dvdAfter five seasons on the air Psych delivers what is arguably its best season to date. Why own the Complete Fifth Season on DVD? Oh, let me count the reasons!

The season stars with a terrific Kung Fu episode before giving us aliens, a Scooby-Doo mystery, drag racing Fast and Furious-style, the return of master art thief Despereaux (Cary Elwes), a spy (Franka Potente) on the run, an opening composed by Tears for Fears, and a Polar Bear wanted for murder.

We also get an episode that pits Gus (Dulé Hill) &; Lasseter (Timothy Omundson) against Juliet (Maggie Lawson) & Shawn (James Roday), Shawn and Gus compete against couple of Henry’s old cop buddies (Carl Weathers, William Devane) to solve a case, a Police Academy episode featuring The Karate Kid‘s Ralph Macchio, a Pych version of It’s a Wonderful Life with UPN Sitcom Gus and Bad Santa‘s Tony Cox, and the return of serial killers Yin (Peter Weller) and Yang (Ally Sheedy).

Drive Angry

The biggest problem with this grindhouse/70’s style car flick from Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier is the almost complete lack of fun. A little humor, maybe a couple of sly winks at the camera, would have helped a story hellbent (so to speak) on trying to be gritty.

Nicolas Cage stars as an escaped soul from Hell who has returned to Earth to kill the leader of a Satanic cult (Billy Burke) who murdered his daughter and plans to sacrifice his granddaughter to bring about Hell on Earth. He’s assisted by a spunky waitress (Amber Heard, the only one here who seems to be enjoying herself) and hunted by an Accountant (William Fichtner) enlisted to return him to Hell.

Here’s what I knew going into Drive Angry: Nicolas Cage is occasionally wildly entertaining when choosing crazy projects like this one, and Amber Heard is really hot.

Fear Itself #3 (of 7)

/ / Comics

fear-itself-3-coverEarth is going to Hell. The Gods of Asgard have abandoned the realm to return to Asgard and begin readying for a war whose first casualty will be the planet Earth. All across the world heroes and villains are picking up magic hammers and becomes mindless slaves (or sometimes not, a little consistency please) to the All-Father of Fear.

However, none of that is what this issue, and it appears ultimately this entire mini-series, will be remembered for. We knew Marvel was going to find a way to get Steve Rogers back into the role of Captain America before Marvel’s big budget summer flick hit screens this summer. What we didn’t know was what would happen to Bucky Barnes. Now we do. And it’s not pretty.

After returning the character to the comics for the first time in decades and actually finding a way to make me care about Captain America’s former sidekick, Ed Brubaker isn’t even on hand when Marvel Comics and writer Matt Fraction decide to kill him at the hands of the Red Skull’s daughter. Sigh. It may be worth a look, but don’t expect it to be a pleasant one.

[Marvel, $3.99]
