Here’s your first look at Keira Knightley and Viggo Mortensen in David Cronenberg‘s upcoming historical biopic A Dangerous Method. The story was adapted by Academy Award-winning writer Christopher Hampton from his 2002 stage play.

Okay, so Batgirl is on the run from Gotham PD who think she’s murdered a college student. The real killers are the “Order of the Scythe” (horrible name, by the way). Not only have they got Stephanie running from the police but they’ve stolen technology including a speed suit.
Thankfully, the Batgirl most wanted storyline is dealt with in this issue and we won’t have it weighing down the title for months. Aside from their awful name, the secret society or guys dressed up as reapers aren’t bad villains for the title. Okay, they aren’t going to find their way into the best Bat-villain list anytime soon, but they work well enough here.
And after being framed for murder writer Bryan Q. Miller has given Stephanie the added incentive of revenge to track them down. We also get some great trademark great dialogue between Stephanie and Oracle and another appearance by “Detective McCute.” It may not be the title’s best, but there’s plenty here worth reading. Worth a look.

This thriller from producer Michael Bay and director D.J. Caruso stars Alex Pettyfer as “an extraordinary teen,” who, when he’s not wooing on Glee‘s Dianna Agron, must hide from a group of killers who must kill nine such extraordinary people in a precise numerical order. (Yeah, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me either. Did I mention this movie was written by Smallville writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar?) Timothy Olyphant, Teresa Palmer, Alex Pettyfer, and Kevin Durand also star. I Am Number Four hits theaters February 18, 2011.
I do love this show. “Last Call” involves a 135 year-old bottle of scotch, a rustic tavern, and murder. This isn’t the best episode of the show (oh, it is a darn fine one!), but it does have a little of everything that makes Castle work including some great moments for its two stars to shine such as this scene between Beckett (Stana Katic) and Castle (Nathan Fillion) before questioning a murder suspect.
