Lucifer - Monster

A growing need to be punished for the death his brother Uriel (Michael Imperioli) leads Lucifer (Tom Ellis) on a downward spiral of guilt and depression. Compromising Chloe‘s (Lauren German) case by taking even more liberties than usual, Lucifer is eventually benched with only this alcohol and self-pity to keep him company. If last week was a major turning point in the series, “Monster” continues that trend as the Devil now sees himself as someone in desperate need to face punishment for his actions. Unable to be honest with Chloe about the cause of his malaise, Lucifer instead reveals himself to Linda (Rachael Harris) leaving no doubt whatsoever in the doctor’s mind just who and what Lucifer truly is.

Bogart & Bacall – 6 Film Collection

  • Title: To Have and Have Not /Dark Passage Key Largo / The Big Sleep / The Maltese Falcon / Designing Women

Bogart & Bacall - 6 Film CollectionSimilar to the previously released Signature Collection DVD set, Bogart & Bacall – 6 Film Collection recollects all four of those films featuring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall (To Have and Have Not, Dark Passage, Key Largo, and The Big Sleep) along with the addition of two movies, each featuring one of the two stars: The Maltese Falcon and Designing Women. The latter being the far weaker of the two additions.

If you don’t already on these films you can’t really go wrong for only $25. To Have and Have Not (the first pairing of the two on screen), The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon (two terrific examples of 40s noir) are all classics worth having on your DVD shelf. Key Largo and Dark Passage also work by playing heavily on the obvious chemistry between the two leads.

Detective Comics #940

Detective Comics #940“Rise of the Batmen” concludes with our team of heroes taking down the Colony thanks to the quick thinking, and risk taking, of Red Robin who makes himself the target of all the Colony’s drones. His sacrifice saves the lives of hundreds in the city, but to do so Tim Drake will have to make the ultimate sacrifice… or so it would appear.

Detective Comics #940 allows Tim to go out in a blaze of glory while showcasing his loss to both Batman and Spoiler. Even if the epilogue clues readers in on the fact that our hero was transported out before his death, and is now the prisoner of an unknown enemy, as far as his teammates know Red Robin made his last stand. As big heroic sacrifices go, this one works pretty damn well.

Son of Zorn - Return to Orange County

The opening episode of the new series introduces us Zorn (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), the Defender of Zephyria, Conqueror of the tribes of Agon, decapitator of the dark herdsmen of Grith, who leaves the animated Pacific island to return to California for his son Alan’s (Johnny Pemberton) seventeenth birthday. Zorn immeadiately stands out, not because he’s animated in a live-action world, but because of his warrior nature and complete disregard for, well, everything. Unable to connect with his son, Zorn decides to stay in town a while longer, get a desk job, and try to fit in.
