Green Lantern: The Animated Series concludes it’s first season with an invasion of Oa, a fleet of Red Lanterns on the verge of invading Guardian space, and a trip home for Hal Jordan (Josh Keaton). Although it’s taken me a little time to warm to the design and look of the show the first season did have its moments and I’ll be interested to see where it goes from here with the conclusion of the Red Lantern story arc.

Laura Vandervoort shows off her place

/ / Books & Magazines

Laura VandervoortMost will recognize Laura Vandervoort from her role as Supergirl on Smallville or Lisa from ABC’s recent reboot of V. The Canadian actress’ career began at the age of 15 where she made guest-appearances on several TV-shows and starred in a series of TV-movies (including the humorously titled Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire). Recently Vandervoort allowed Esquire into her home for part of their Me in My Place series which provides “intimate moments with beautiful women in their own homes, in their own clothes, and at their invitation.” In the interview the actress discusses her life as a child actress, growing up as a tomboy and her dedication to martial arts, surviving a bout of meningitis when she was young, her obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Kristy Swanson, and leaving Canada and moving to Los Angeles. You’ll find pics and video from the photoshoot inside.

I caught the first couple of episodes of Rookie Blue‘s first season back when it premiered in the summer of 2010. Although I’m a fan of the show’s star Missy Peregrym, there wasn’t enough to bring me back every week and I wondered how long the show would manage to stick around. After completing two 13-episode seasons Rookie Blue returned this week for it’s Third Season and, with most of the shows I’m currently watching now on hiatus (or waiting to begin their own summer runs) I decided to give it another shot.

Men in Black III

men-in-black-3-posterWell that was… in 3D. I wonder how many film series will find themselves resurrected for the soul purpose of cashing-in on Hollywood’s latest love affair with 3D. If Men in Black III is any indication (a franchise that died a decade ago only to have it’s undead corpse dug up and trotted out to make a few dollars at the box office) perhaps movie studios may want to be a little more selective in choosing which movie series to resurrect.

Men in Black III isn’t a bad film. It has some enjoyable moments (like Bill Hader‘s cameo as Andy Warhol) and some nice performances. Hell, Josh Brolin playing a younger version of Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones‘s character) is almost worth the price of admission by itself. Almost.

However, the story is stuck in neutral with a generic time travel adventure involving a grizzled alien (Jemaine Clement) out for revenge. Much like Tommy Lee Jones (who only appears on-screen in a limited role this time around), the film simply feels tired and only vaguely aware of what’s going on.
