Jack Ryan 5-Film Collection

All five feature-length Jack Ryan movies are collected featuring the heroic actions of Tom Clancy’s thinking man’s hero, a CIA analyst turned action star, saving the world. The best of the bunch remains the first. The Hunt for Red October stars Alec Baldwin as the only man who correctly guesses the true intentions of a Soviet captain (Sean Connery) stealing an untrackable nuclear submarine with plans to defect. Not only is it the best story of this collection but director John McTiernan ratches up the tension to great effect making the most of both his stars.

Cobra Commander #4

Cobra Commander #4

It’s fun seeing the various pieces introduced and connected in this Cobra prequel series for the shared Energon Universe. In Cobra Commander #4, Cobra Commander finds a scientist who has already started unlocking the vast power of Energon. Meanwhile Nemesis Enforcer takes care of any fight the Dreadnoks have left. This then leads to the expected confrontation between the Commander and Nemesis Enforcer, although there is a twist with the soldier from Cobra-La betraying the Commander rather than other way around.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

A (quite obviously) exaggerated version of what occurred during WWII, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare gives us Henry Cavill as the rough-and-ready Major Gus March-Phillipps chosen to lead a suicide mission in neutral Spanish territory on a mission designed to relinquish Nazi U-boat control of the Atlantic Ocean. There’s something quite fun about Cavill playing the man who most believe Ian Fleming modeled James Bond after even if the actor never gets a chance to play 007.

NCIS: Hawai'i - The Next Thousand

The murder of a Marine in the jungle during survival training sends Kai (Alex Tarrant), Jesse (Noah Mills), and Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) looking for the other members of the group while Whistler (Tori Anderson) teams up with Hanna (LL Cool J) to investigate the group’s recent actions and their culpability in the disappearance of a local bartender. All evidence points to one member of the squad being responsible both for the jungle murder and the missing bartender, which seems even more likely when more of squad turn up dead, although Whistler believes there is a larger story that the Marines are attempting to hide.
