Black Sails

Pirates - swoon.

Based partially on true pirates and true events - and partially on events that took place in Stevenson's novel Treasure Island. It centers around Captain Flint played by Stephens (Vexed) seen below. We have seen him with his shirt off - nice - but it's his facial hair that I think makes him devilish handsome.

McGowan (Shameless) plays Captain Vane. Him we have seen everything - everything - let that sink in. His voice is what drives me crazy. He's below in the middle.

Hopper (Merlin) still has a sword, but instead of being a knight he's a pirate. He goes shirtless for us once before tragedy strikes. Seen below.

I forgot the plot - ummmm - they are pirates and they want gold and they don't want to be ruled by anyone. All in all, I say: do I really need to say it - look above.....SEE IT

L'immmortal (AKA 22 Bullets)

A French film starring Reno (The Professional) has a retired mob boss that gets back into action to seek revenge on his old partners when they attempt to kill him. All in all, I say: SKIP IT - the plot of just boring and so was the action.

Veronica Mars (movie)

It takes place several years after the last episode of the tv series. Veronica has been to law school and is living in NY with Piz. She gets a class that Logan, now in the navy, is accused of killing his movie star girlfriend. While she is in town helping him the reunion is also taking place, so lots of the old cast are in town. Eli gets into trouble with Mrs. Kane. The new sheriff is on the take and may be a murderer. A whole lot is going on - Veronica has decide what life she wants. All in all, I say: SEE IT - if you watched the series otherwise, SKIP IT.

The 100

I'm sure you can guess how many teenagers have been dropped to Earth after about a 100 years after a nuclear meltdown that destroyed it - that's right 100. It seems after one episode that the 100 teenagers are going to go through a little "Lord of Flies" action. What I am most interested in - the drama taking place with the adults left on the spaceship that only has about 3 months of air & supplies. Turco (NCIS: New Orleans) is a doctor whose husband was accused of a crime and spit into outer space and whose daughter is on Earth. Washington (True Crime) is the leader on the spaceship; his son is also on the planet. All in all, I say: TRY IT

Crisis

This is a new series and I have only seen one episode, but I'm going to see a few more after seeing the pilot. A group of kids, whose parents are very important people, will be used to make their parents do things. Why the bad guy - Mulroney (Nikita) is the bad guy even though his daughter is one of the captives & why he is wearing a horrible wig - I don't know. Anderson (X-Files) is one of those parents. All in all, I say: TRY IT

Man of Tai Chi

So, Tai Chi is usually seen as a martial art used for mediation and exercise, not for violence. That is until one corrupt man vows to do whatever it takes to turn on such follower of Tai Chi into a killer. Will he succeed?
Reeves (The Matrix) directs and acts in this. He plays the bad guy and he isn't bad at it. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like martial arts films. If you don't, SKIP IT. I streamed it on Netflix.

Believe

IMDb writes, "Believe is about an unlikely relationship between a gifted young girl and a man sprung from prison who has been tasked with protecting her from the evil elements that hunt her power." McLaughlin (Warrior) plays her dad. All in all, I say: SEE IT and tell me if you don't also think it's a lot like Touch.
