Hawaii Five-0 - He Moho Hou

While Kono (Grace Park) reconnects with a former surf competitor facing hard times and Alicia (Claire Forlani) is paid a visit by Five-0’s chess-obsessed serial killer, McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and his team search for a drug dealer who parachuted from a plane killing both a DEA agent (who wasn’t lucky enough to have a parachute) and the witness whose house they landed in. The drug-dealing storyline will provide most of the episode’s action, including Kono highlighted in the most kick-ass sequence of the young season, but the heart of the episode comes from Kono’s subplot reconnecting with an old rival and coming to understand what she can do, and what she can’t, to help the veteran.

Star Wars Rebels - The Antilles Extraction

Another classic Star Wars character makes their first appearance in Star Wars Rebels in “The Antilles Extraction.” After an Imperial ambush leaves the Rebellion shorthanded in both ships and pilots, Sabine (Tiya Sircar) goes undercover at the Imperial Academy as word has reached the Rebellion that a handful of young pilots are looking to leave the Empire. Befriending Hobbie (Trevor Devall), Rake (Corey Burton), and Wedge Antilles (Nathan Kress), Sabine attempts to get all three pilots to the Rebellion. Sadly, her plan runs into a snag thanks to the timely arrival of Arihnda Pryce (Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) and Agent Kallus (David Oyelowo) who have arrived to ferret out the very traitors Sabine is intent on rescuing. And, as Sabine notes, Pryce proves to be a much more cunning adversary than Kallus ever was.

Bogart & Bacall – 6 Film Collection

/ / Home Video
  • Title: To Have and Have Not /Dark Passage Key Largo / The Big Sleep / The Maltese Falcon / Designing Women

Bogart & Bacall - 6 Film CollectionSimilar to the previously released Signature Collection DVD set, Bogart & Bacall – 6 Film Collection recollects all four of those films featuring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall (To Have and Have Not, Dark Passage, Key Largo, and The Big Sleep) along with the addition of two movies, each featuring one of the two stars: The Maltese Falcon and Designing Women. The latter being the far weaker of the two additions.

If you don’t already on these films you can’t really go wrong for only $25. To Have and Have Not (the first pairing of the two on screen), The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon (two terrific examples of 40s noir) are all classics worth having on your DVD shelf. Key Largo and Dark Passage also work by playing heavily on the obvious chemistry between the two leads.
