/ / Comics

Batman ’66 #16In an issue overloaded with eggcelent puns, Batman and Robin are forced to match wits with a more highly-evolved Egghead who has used his Eggcelerator to enhance his brain to resemble that of someone from the 40th Century (whom he just assumes are really, really smart).

Gifted with telekinesis and a sixth sense of danger, Egghead uses his new-found superiority to defeat not only the Dynamic Duo, whom he devolves into cave men, but also steal scores from other Gotham City criminals as well and in short order takes over the city.

White Collar - Borrowed Time

White Collar begins its final season by picking up the pieces of last season’s cliffhanger. The reveal of who took Neal (Matt Bomer) and why is a bit disappointing (honestly, the man’s plan to kidnap Neal and make him a fugitive in order to retrieve something in the FBI’s possession which he can no longer accomplish is pretty shotty thinking). However, the man’s need of a big score opens up a new door for Neal setting the stage for the show’s final season and the remaining days of Neal’s work for the FBI.

Hawaii Five-0 - Ina Paha

For the show’s 100th episode Hawaii Five-0 offers a bizarre retelling of events from the show’s first episode shuffling the roles of several key characters and allowing McGarret’s father (William Sadler) to live. Of course the events are merely the drug-induced delusions of McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) in his attempt to withstand the torture and questioning at the hands of Wo Fat (Mark Dacascos) who has returned to the island in an attempt to force the commander to reveal the location of Wo Fat’s father.

Laggies

Director Lynn Shelton‘s Laggies is an odd film that attempts to blend character study with rom-com tropes. It lacks the satiric wit and humorous mean-spiritedness of Young Adult but plays on similar themes of a protagonist struggling to grow-up. Andrea Seigel‘s script is kept afloat in its weaker moments thanks to an engaging performance by its star and a clear message about the struggles of finding oneself as an adult and the odd paths we take to get there.

As all her high school friends have gotten older, married, and started careers and families, Megan (Keira Knightley) is still living with her equally-procrastinistic high school boyfriend (Mark Webber) and working for her father (Jeff Garlin) in a dead-end job twirling a sign by the side of the road. The marriage of two friends, a proposal by her boyfriend, and the discover of her father’s extramarital affairs, all push Megan over the edge one night seeking comfort in the simpler problems of a high school student (Chloë Grace Moretz) and her friends.

Lying to her boyfriend about attending a life seminar, Megan disappears for a week moving in with Annika (Moretz) and her father (Sam Rockwell) who is thrown off guard by the entire bizarre relationship.

The Blacklist - The Scimitar

As revenge for a Mossad hit committed by Navabi (Mozhan Marnò), Iranians hire as skilled assassin known as The Scimitar (Waleed Zuaiter) to kill an Iranian-American scientist working in the United States. Although the FBI dutifully protects the suspected targets, their actions inadvertently lead to pointing the assassin directly at the most highly-valued scientist due to a traffic accident involving Lizzie (Megan Boone) and Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and an elaborate staging area created to serve the man’s needs.
