SUITS The offical line goes like this: Even the best lawyer in New York City can use some help. While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City’s best legal closers, Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). Tired [...]

If you like bloody, violent Asian action flicks, then ‘The Yellow Sea’ will be right up your dark alleyway.

Now Christopher Lee is being brought to life in HD, with a brand new release of ‘Dracula Prince of Darkness’ lovingly restored in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and scanned at 2K resolution [...]
I’ve only seen the US-set version of ‘The Killing’ thus far (which is great, but the first season only covers half of the Swedish first season, grrrr) so I’m keen to see the original, ‘Forbrydelsen’ as it’s known in Sweden. This twin season boxset stars Sofie Gråbøl as the jumper-wearing Detective, and Lars Mikkelsen plays [...]
This is what I thought back in 1998. ‘Mimic’ sees husband and wife scientists (played by Mira Sorvino and Jeremy Northam) engineer bugs as a counter-agent to a disease carried by cockroaches that afflicts the children of New York. The new genetically-altered bugs, the ‘Judas Breed’, are introduced to the city’s Biosystem (sewers to you [...]

Danish hit series ‘Forbrydelsen’ (‘The Killing’) was turned into a US-set 13-episode series this year. I watched the US version, and enjoyed it. I haven’t seen the original yet. People who have say the US version is a pale shadow. That Danish version must be really something. US ‘The Killing’ is slow, moody (set in [...]
