Hoppers

  • Title: Hoppers
  • IMDb: link

Hoppers is an odd film. For those who enjoy when Disney or Pixar go a bit further off the more established path (while they are also preparing yet another Toy Story sequel and a live-action Moana), that still hits on established themes of family and nature, there’s certainly something here worth considering.

CIA – Fatal Defect

  • IMDb: link

The second episode of CIA continues the odd couple dynamic of Bill Goodman (Nick Gehlfuss) and Colin Glass (Tom Ellis) working uncover the true purpose of a foreign intelligence officer (Melinda Michael) smuggled into the United States. We get a few twists and turns along the way before the episode ends with the pair preventing another attack. Along the way Bill gets more close-up evidence of Colin spinning lies to suit the occasion (although only the audience partakes in the reveal of how much the man has lied over the course of the episode).

CIA – Directed Energy

  • Title: CIA – Directed Energy

Running out of ways to spinoff their FBI franchise, CBS turns to a new series focused on FBI Agent Bill Goodman (Nick Gehlfuss) assigned to be the liaison with a covert CIA team led by the far less by-the-book Colin Glass (Tom Ellis) working domestically to prevent terrorist attacks. Featuring a cameo by Jeremy Sisto to confirm everything fits into the same shared world as the FBI shows, the premiere provides the basics in highlighting the kinds of operations the CIA is tasked with and the struggle Goodman has initially with Glass and his way of doing things.
