24: Live Another Day - 2pm - 3pm

After forcing his way into the U.S. Embassy and finding drone pilot Chris Tanner (John Boyega) and the soldier’s flight key, Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) finds getting out of the frying pan is much harder than jumping in once the heat starts rising. Unable to escape, Bauer barricades himself in the embassy’s secure communication room hoping to buy enough time to decode and transmit the drone data to Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub). Sadly, he won’t be successful.

Fables #140

Fables #140After burying what they believe is all that’s left of Puss in Boots, Briar Rose leads the rest of the group onward defeating one enemy by less than chivalrous means and to a final battle against the evil witch Baoban Sith and her demon dogs. Wrapping up the two-issue arc, one member of the group will indeed give his life for their cause, however it turns out not to be Puss who keeps finding ways to survive (and even convince unlikely allies to join their cause).

Along with both action and witty dialogue, writer Bill Willingham also reveals the unexpected cause for the end of Fabletown (and for Fables itself as the comic is now down to its final ten issues). Neither old enemy nor new it seems will be the refuge’s undoing, but the mere fact of its populace realizing it’s now same, and time, to return home as Seamus does here.

I’m happy to see Puss and Boots return, and even survive his second death scene, but there’s certainly a tinge of melancholy hear and Willingham begins revealing the end of a comic I may have come late to but have grown to love. Worth a look.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #11

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #11For the second issue in a row this month’s main story centers around Michelangelo who befriends a damaged Foot robot, teaching “Sparky” the merits of heroism and even go so far as to don costumes and fight crime together as Captain Karate and Sparky. Of course Mikey isn’t quite as smooth as hiding his new pursuits from Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo as he thinks.

Goofy to be sure, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #11 turns out to be a lot of fun as Mikey gets to live out his dreams of being a super-hero and having a sidekick – at least until Karai shows up waning to know what the Turtle has done to her robot.

While not quite as entertaining, the episode’s back-up story features the Turtles interrupting the Kraang‘s latest Mutagen experiment transforming a cut little bunny into something for the Turtles to push through a portal (after their done beating up the Kraang). Worth a look.

Re-Released on Home Video: T3: Rise of the Machines

  • Title: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Terminator 3: Rise of the MachinesI know there are those that feel otherwise, but I like Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and appreciate the kind of story director Jonathan Mostow and screenwriters John D. Brancato and Michael Ferris set out to tell.

Whereas the first Terminator had no higher goal than that of straight-forward monster movie (still the best Hollywood has produced in the last 30 years), and Judgement Day was more concerned with action that developing the themes presented in the first film, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is the only movie of the three that is actually a sci-fi film at its core. That fourth film starring Christian Bale? Yeah… we don’t talk about that one.

Picking up years after the second film, Rise involves John Connor (Nick Stahl) finally beginning to understand and embrace the destiny which was introduced in The Terminator.
