Elementary - A Landmark Story

Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) heads to prison to talk with Sebastian Moran (Vinnie Jones) who informs the consulting detective that an apparent heart attack victim who was targeted by Moriarty and most certainly did not die of natural causes. To check the murderer’s assertions, Holmes and Watson (Lucy Liu) break into a funeral home “in the middle of the night to perform an illicit autopsy” which proves at least part of Moran’s story is true. Believing the man’s murder had something to do with his vote on renovating a historical speakeasy, Holmes and Watson head over to talk with the contractor of the project who met with his own apparently accidental death via falling air conditioner that very morning. The game is definitely afoot.

Person of Interest - Zero Day

Infected by Stanton‘s (Annie Parisse) virus, The Machine has gone silent for ten days before delivering Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) the number of a CEO of a data company whose employees spend their days reinserting reams of code into a system for no apparent purpose. After investigating the man, who no one has even met, Finch begins to suspect he is an invention of The Machine as a way to fight back against the virus. Realizing that Decima Technologies, a private intelligence organization headquartered in Shanghai who created the virus, is looking to control rather than destroy The Machine, Harold has no choice but to work with Root (Amy Acker) to save his creation from falling into the wrong hands, especially when she threatens to hurt Grace (Carrie Preston) if he doesn’t agree to her terms.

Iron Man 3

Iron Man 3The third time is hardly ever the charm in movie franchises, especially those adapted from comics. Shane Black, who replaces Jon Favreau behind the camera (although Favreau stays on to continue his role as Happy Hogan), delivers a thoroughly satisfying third (and quite possibly final) entry in a way Sam Raimi, Christopher Nolan, Richard Lester, and Brett Ratner all failed to do.

After some rather unsubtle foreshadowing involving Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) meeting with a pair of scientists (Rebecca Hall, Guy Pearce) back in 1999, we catch up some months after the events of The Avengers with a shaken Stark agonizing over the enormity of how much his world has changed since the alien attack that leveled much of New York. While struggling with both anxiety attacks and his relationship with the ever-plucky Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), Stark’s world is further shaken by an attack that leaves Happy severely injured by the hands of a new terrorist calling himself The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley).
