White Collar S4

White Collar Season Four - The Truth Comes Out

When the past re-enters Neal's life, there are consequences. Old friends, and rivals meet on terms, and an old friend dies, and someone that is part of everything he holds dear changes his life forever. Other changes happens within the White Collar team, old boss let go, new one takes over. Peter's life has never been the same since he met Neal, danger, excitement, and sometimes the occasional drink off work.

What makes this show work is the partnership, more like a father / son team. (It may seem odd to admit, but after so many seasons, it is the connection this show has. It is not just a team, but a family that works against some crazy odds)

Season V is now airing, catch up on new things ahead for the show www.usanetwork.com/whitecollar‎

Avengers Assemble

Written by: Brian Michael Bendis
Art by: Mark Bagley

A team like no other, with a roster of: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk. Their roster of teammates keeps growing over the years. In this new saga, an old enemy rears its ugly head. Sending out heralds so called "The Zodiac". This old foe was know to battle for the ownership of the "Infinity Gauntlet".

*For those that are unaware, Thanos is an overlord Skrull, maniacal, power hungry, and psychotic.  Versus the many heroes that have fought him, he has defeated. But this time, he might have met his match. *Plus he had a hand in the Skrull Invasion a few years back.

**Thus enters the "Guardians of the Galaxy" a team from the far off stars, united to protect the universe! A heroic team, like the Avengers, but with more awesome sauce, a babe, and a raccoon. (yup Rocket Raccoon, just don't call him furry, he might bite your hand off)

Only the genius of Bendis, and the art of Bagley could unite this bizarre crossover!
**Since this is a new fresh start for the Assemble series, it is an ongoing series. Do check it out!

Graphic Novels review: Flash Vol.2 Rogue's Revolution + Claws II

Flash Vol II Rogue's Revolution:
Written by: Brian Buccelato
Art by: Francis Manapul
On a quest to repair the time stream, the Flash finds himself lost within Gorilla Grood's homestead. Where a leader must prove themselves by defending their people versus enemies and intruders. Only one problem, Grood actually remembers Flash (from way back, er Blackest Day/ Brightest Night). The two made a deal, somehow fate ties the two together, but oddly enough Grood's people support the Flash because he is heralded as a savior. **but you know Grood's not going to agree anyway

On the other end, the rogues have had their ups and downs, Captain Cold and his band of merry villains once were a team. But that was years ago, things changed, his sister was hurt and is in a coma. Oh, and Flash/Barry hangs out at the villains bar just to get work. (you're not gonna believe was happens next)
Well written, and gorgeous artwork, this is a chapter of the speedster you won't wanna miss.

Wolverine & Black Cat: Claws II
Written by Jimmy Palmotti & Justin Gray
Art by: Joseph Michael Linsner

Speaking of two fun characters, they're adventures are never done. With Arcade and Bunny in the Savage Land, nothing can go wrong. Right? Until a hapless female alien loses a fragment piece of time (in a ball that resembles a magic 8 ball, completely made of metal). Oh, and for those keeping score, yeah that happens too (you know, the "wild thing") No wait, not that, the amazing duo also winds up in the future. Meeting a hero of the future. Killraven (who dons classic gear) and leads his people to freedom.

But the future is not pretty, evil aliens have taken over, friends have been captive. Only they can save the? Time travel is complicated, but these two have got your back.

**Bonus issue included, the origin behind Killraven (written and illustrated by Linsner)
This is an excellent mini-series, the art and story just work well together. Plus who wouldn't want Wolverine and Black Cat to team up (and get in trouble!?)

Film Review: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Directed by Don Scardino
Screenplay written by John Francis Daley & Jonathan M. Goldstein

Illusionists, mastery of manipulation of the mind, they take their audiences on a journey of imagination and take it even further. But what if it all fell apart? Or could pickup the pieces? Well this is one of those films where anything can happen (and will happen). No wait, does happen, do these names ring a bell?
Jim Carrey, Olivia Wilde, Steve Carrel, Steve Buscemi, and James Gandofini (with many more)

First, this film is amazing. Second: did I say amazing? its incredible
Third, it will make you smile

Film Reviews:Fun Size + Safety Not Guaranteed

Fun Size: Mix chaos, mayhem, and a bit of kooky and you get Fun Size. A Nick film that actually feels more like an adult comedy. (Which is a nice surprise!) Its smart, witty, and moments you can't help but laugh along with. Sure its a bit of drama with a spice of comedy, but its a great mixture. www.paramount.com/funsize/‎

Safety Not Guaranteed: What would you do if someone offered a way to change the past? Undoing a deed that caused great pain, sorrow, or misery. Would you go for a dream? Or think the person is crazy and out of their minds? That is the question throughout this film, where 3 reporters stumble on a mission of rewinding time to find out who they are. But in the real world, they find out that their mission is already in full effect.
**This is definitely a must see! www.safetynotguaranteedmovie.com/

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012/2013) - Rise of the Turtles

Awhile back this series launched a unique fanbase, inspired by two cool cats with marital arts movies in mind. Pushing storytelling boundaries, and taking fans on a crazy ride one from one episode to the next. With several movies, and animation antics, TMNT is one of those series that is totally worth getting back into.

First, this is a new take on origins tale (wait for it.. wait for it..) but! it actually works!? What you say?
Taking a page from the original comic, and the newer revamped series. It mixed the two like a yummy pizza, and all the fillings. Second, it adapts the boys in a fun format, mixing cel-shaded animation with um dare I day manga style antics. (yup this series goes everywhere!) *Oh, and gets to make of itself, along with other series!

*note: the "Gibbs slap" is from NCIS
**Leo loves a "Star Trek" parody (inspiration to be a leader?)
That is just a sample to get you started.

Okay, one thing, April is not a reporter in this tale. Just a daughter of a scientist (weird huh?) oh and one of our old buddies has a crush on her. (for one, he's the smart one of the bunch, and carries a Bo staff)
In this series, the bros even switch off with weaponry, and fighting styles. Feels pretty cool to see a mix up for a change. Sure its the same formula, but with a bit more spunk.

There are in fact 3 volumes of this series, that completes this entire season. Vol.3 "Ultimate Showdown" just hit stores this very week, which contain 2 discs (12 eps altogether). I am really surprised, and humbled by how much fun this series really is again.

TMNT is back in action baby!
