<p>But don&#8217;t expect <i>Ben &#038; Kate</i>, <i>The Cleveland Show</i>, <i>Fringe</i>, <i>The Mob Doctor</i>, or <i>Touch</i> to be on FOX, though, because they have ALL been cancelled or have finished their final season!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Kiefer Sutherland back to television with the help of "Heroes" creator Tim Kring. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems fitting that Kiefer Sutherland&#8217;s return to network television is in a series that involves a long season arc. After all, it was his show, <I>24</I>, that spawned countless imitators, some of which were cancelled or couldn&#8217;t progress pass a single year.</p>
<p>His new series, <I>Touch</I>, will have its premiere in spring 2012, but the first trailer of this science-meets-spirituality drama has been unveiled. Tim Kring (creator of <I>Crossing Jordan</I>, <I>Heroes</I>) returns to familiar territory with the premise that everything in the universe is interconnected. Sutherland plays a widower whose mute 11-year-old son, Jacob (newcomer David Mazouz) possesses the ability to detect patterns that connect seemingly unrelated events. </p>
<p>Danny Glover and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (of NBC&#8217;s short-lived <I>Undercovers</i>) round out the main cast.</p>
<p>Once it premieres in the spring it will occupy the 9 P.M. slot which was the same slot used for <I>24</i>. </p>
<p>Watch the trailer below. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazon Founder &#038; CEO Jeff Bezos made the following announcement with a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/ref=gno_prmlogo">posting</a> over at Amazon Prime. </p>
<p>&#8220;I have big news for Amazon Prime members – we’ve just signed a deal with FOX to add a broad selection of movies and TV shows to our unlimited instant streaming service later this fall. The new additions from the FOX library include <em>24</em>, <em>Arrested Development</em>, <em>The X-Files</em>, <em>Ally McBeal</em>, <em>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</em>, and – available on digital video for the first time – <em>The Wonder Years</em>. We now have deals with CBS, NBCUniversal, Sony, and Warner Bros, and adding FOX will bring the total to more than 11,000 movies and TV shows available for unlimited instant streaming.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FOX doesn&#8217;t have as many holes to fill as NBC. Mainly because it doesn&#8217;t have any original programming on during the 10 p.m. ET timeslot.

<p>Besides the 2 new animated shows, 2 new comedies, and 2 new dramas that are currently on the lineup, <i>Glee</i> will take an extended Spring hiatus just like it did this year. In its place, two other new comedies <i>Family Album</i>, starring <i>Glee&#8217;s</i> Mike O&#8217;Malley and <i>Little in Common</i>, starring Rob Corddry, will likely take its place. Of course, they have a handful of shows to fill other holes as necessary. </p>
<p>In addition, <i>24</i> star Kiefer Sutherland will also be returning to FOX with new series <i>Touch</i>, which centers on the relationship between a single father and his 11-year-old son with special needs. Their relationship and their lives take an extraordinary turn when the gifted son begins to make connections in his life and around the world. However, production on <i>Touch</i> doesn&#8217;t begin until June, so who knows when and where that show will air.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be expecting <i>The Chicago Code</i>, <i>Lie to Me</i>, <i>Breaking In</i>, <i>Traffic Light</i>, <i>Human Target</i> to be on FOX any time next season, though, because they have ALL been cancelled!</p>
<p>Anything on here that YOU will be watching?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<strong>Robocop for the digital age</strong>]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><font size=+1> <strong>Robocop for the digital age</center></font size=+1> </strong></p>
<p><em>Source Code</em> is, in many ways, this generation’s <em>Robocop</em>. That is not to say that the sophomore film from director Duncan Jones is in any way tonally similar to Paul Verhoeven’s satire-heavy ‘80s action staple <em>Robocop</em>. The films couldn’t be more dissimilar in the way they explore violence. What bridges the two films, though, is their fluid ponderings on the consequences of action and the levels of trauma that a soldier is asked to go through in their duty to their country.</p>
<p>Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Colter Stevens, an Air Force helicopter pilot who finds himself in the epicenter of a new government initiative that melds quantum physics with anti-terrorism efforts. Hooked up to a mysterious computer program named the Source Code, Coulter’s brainwaves are merged with those of a recently deceased victim of a train bombing in Chicago. Coulter’s mission is to relive the last seven minutes of the man’s life and attempt to figure out who is responsible for the bombing so the government can stop a planned second bombing before it wipes out half of Chicago.</p>
<p>Writer Ben Ripley’s script cleverly combines a classic “whodunit” mystery with high-stakes action, technobabble intrigue and rousing romantic drama between Stevens and Christina, a fellow commuter played by Michelle Monaghan. As Stevens attempts to discover the truth behind the technology that is forcing him to repeatedly die for his country, he makes it his personal mission to save Christina’s life. While the initial romantic catalyst seems a bit rushed at times, the resulting bond between Stevens and Christina is more than believable and gives the film a great deal of emotional resonance.</p>
<p>With <em>Source Code</em>, Jones is able to take the basic structure of a thinking man’s science fiction film — with all its related philosophical quandaries and forward-looking technological leaps — and merge it with the sprit and fire of a summer blockbuster action film. The film pulses with an energy — thanks in large part to Gyllenhaal’s performance. After a series of failed attempts to break into mainstream Hollywood popcorn cinema, Gyllenhaal has finally found a project that allows him to play to his strengths. As an emotionally wrecked, fiery tempered soldier just looking to get out of his new assignment and go home to his father, Gyllenhaal recaptures a lot of the initial spark he showed in films such as <em>Donnie Darko</em> and <em>Brokeback Mountain</em>.</p>
<p>As Carol Goodwin, the Air Force officer helping to administer the Source Code project and acting as Stevens’ liaison into the real world, Vera Farmiga does a great job acting as the emotional center to the film’s action scenes — her growing reluctance to keep sending Stevens back into the minutes before the train bombing hammering in just how scarring an experience it must be to repeatedly be at the epicenter of a terrorist attack.</p>
<p><em>Source Code</em> is not a time travel movie. Instead, the film cleverly utilizes a lot of the pop-science research into quantum physics and parallel realities that have been getting a lot of mainstream attention — as best summarized in last decade’s documentary <em>What the Bleep Do We Know?</em></p>
<p>The film’s exploration into the consequences of every action and the ability or inability to change destiny helps flesh out the movie — keeping it from being your average episode of <em>24</em> stuck in a loop.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it’s this same science that keeps <em>Source Code</em> a bit unbalanced. Not quite sure if it wants to be a hard-edged science fiction film or a fluffy “love conquers all” emotional drama, the film wobbles a bit in its third act.</p>
<p>Duncan Jones may not have created a home-run winner like his initial offering <em>Moon</em> but <em>Source Code</em> is definitely proof that Duncan Jones isn’t a one-trick pony. The director has a lot of imagination and a great eye for the cinematic — something that was perhaps not as evident in his relatively quiet first movie.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span> </span></span><strong>Director: </strong>Duncan Jones<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By and large, numbered list are useful only for entertainment purposes. Without standard criteria, lists reflect authors&#8217; personal feelings and tastes.

		<description><![CDATA[Big screen adaptation by writer Billy Ray is dead. Is Tony Scott lurking in the wings to take over the project? ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/24.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-229693" title="24" src="http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/24.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="318" /></a></p>
<p><em>Entertainment Weekly</em> is reporting that a script that would bring <em>24</em> hero Jack Bauer (played for eight seasons on television by Kiefer Sutherland) to the big screen has not pass Fox&#8217;s musters and the project will not be greenlit.</p>
<p>Billy Ray, who has written films such as <em>Shattered Glass</em>, <em>Flightplan</em>, <em>Breach</em> and <em>State of Play</em>, wrote the full-length script that would see an entire day in Bauer&#8217;s life condensed down to a two hour movie.</p>
<p>The news that Fox has passed on the script comes from longtime showrunner Howard Gordon, who remains hopeful that the film will eventually get made.</p>
<p>Tony Scott (<em>Unstoppable</em>, <em>True Romance</em>) has shown interest in taking over the project. Personally, I&#8217;d rather see Jon and Al Kaplan, two composers who wrote a <a href="http://www.jonandal.com/24.html">musical</a> based on season two of <em>24</em>, take over the project.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Also new this week: Ben Affleck's <I>The Town</i>, <I>The A-Team</i>, and <I>Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole</i>. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Here at Inside Pulse Movies, we compile all the best deals on new DVD and Blu-ray releases, as well as report on some that are so good they’re criminal. Brick-and-mortar stores include Target, Best Buy, etc. Amazon deals are also in the mix.</em></p>
<p>Decisions, decisions. Typically I open my column with a short review of what I think is the biggest new release on home video. But this week I&#8217;m at a loss. With five new movie titles vying for my affection, I don&#8217;t think I can pick just one. And the variety is just insane. A buddy cop comedy; a men-on-a-mission flick featuring a team that always brings its A-game; a Boston crime drama that proves <I>Gone Baby Gone</i> wasn&#8217;t a fluke for Ben Affleck and a pair of animated movies featuring brave owls and yellow minions. How can I pick just one with that line-up? </p>
<p><img src=http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2010_the_a-team_006-e1292424345253.jpg height ="256" width ="200" align = "left" style="margin:5px;" >Depending on your preference, I think <I>The A-Team</i> offers the most in terms of replay value. In a summer of disappointing action movies (see <I>Robin Hood</i>, <I>Prince of Persia</i>), this update of the &#8217;80s NBC television series works as well as it does because it doesn&#8217;t take everything so seriously. It may be big and dumb, but on a scale of one to ridiculous the action scenes are about what one should expect. I mean the team escapes a cargo plane about to be blown to smithereens by hopping into a tank and using its mortar shells to propel the tank over a body of water to sustain the impact. Foolish? Most definitely. Entertaining as hell? Absolutely. </p>
<p>For the longest time it looked like the film was going to be directed by John Singleton and star Ice Cube as B.A. Bruce Willis was considered for the role of Hannibal, and Woody Harrelson for Murrdock. When Joe Carnahan (<I>Smokin&#8217; Aces</i>) came on board, he assembled a crackerjack team. Bradley Cooper is perfect as Face and Liam Neeson continues to show his bad-ass streak. As Hannibal, he chews on that cigar and smirks. He has the gravitas to pull off Hannibal&#8217;s signature line, &#8220;I love it when a plan comes together,&#8221; and not have it be corny. When I read that the star of <I>District 9</i>, Sharlto Copley, was going to play Murdock, I had my doubts. But in an interview the actor recounted how much he was a fan of TV series back in South Africa. He totally nails the Murdock character, matching his squirrelly persona beat for beat. As much as these three actors were well cast, the role of B.A. is irreplaceable. I&#8217;m sorry, but Mr. T will always be B.A., just as Christopher Reeve will always be Superman. But MMA fighter Quenton &#8220;Rampage&#8221; Jackson is a little rough in terms of acting chops, but he&#8217;s definitely got the bad-ass part down. Besides, Mr. T wasn&#8217;t that big on acting; he was all about being an aura of intimidation, which he was.</p>
<p>Unlike a lot of TV-to-film adaptations, <I>The A-Team</i> succeeds because it adheres to the spirit and cornball escapades that made the TV show a hit in the first place. </p>
<p>On home video, the Blu-ray includes a number of extras not found on the DVD. They include a P-I-P track with director Joe Carnahan, deleted scenes and a gag reel, and three featurettes ( &#8220;<strong>Character Chronicles</strong>,&#8221; &#8220;<strong>Plan of Attack</strong>,&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>Visual Effects Before and After</strong>&#8220;). These are EPK-style friendly and may only be worth a singular viewing.   </p>
<p>One other extra it includes is the ability to watch an extended cut of the film. Both <I>The Other Guys</i> and <I>The Town</i> have extended cuts as well. <I>The A-Team</i> adds 15 minutes to the theatrical cut, while the Will Ferrell-Mark Wahlberg comedy adds nine minutes and Ben Affleck&#8217;s crime drama adds a hefty 28 minutes to its overall time. </p>
<p><img src=http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2010_the_other_guys_wallpaper_013-e1292424977309.jpg height ="196" width ="250" align = "right" style="margin:5px;" ><I>The Other Guys</i> was a comedy I enjoyed over the summer. You never know what you&#8217;re going to get with Will Ferrell, but whenever he collaborates with writer/producer/director Adam McKay, it&#8217;s usually one of the comedians better efforts. Together they&#8217;ve made <I>Anchorman</i>, <I>Talladega Nights</i> and <I>Step Brothers</i>. <I>The Other Guys</i> is a buddy comedy with Ferrell playing the straight man to Wahlberg&#8217;s I-want-to-go-fight-crime-but-I&#8217;m-partnered-with-a-desk-jockey cop. The opening scene alone was worth the price of a matinee ticket. It perfectly captured the ridiculousness of those buddy-cop films of the &#8217;80s. But instead of it being a cop near retirement partnered with someone with a devil may care attitude, the sequence featured two macho detectives (Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson) destroying prime real estate in New York City just to capture some dope dealers. </p>
<p>The comedy tries to be timely with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg investigating a shady character (played by Steve Coogan), who tries to cover up some major losses on Wall Street. Solving the case to finish the story is important, but in doing so the comedy falters a bit near the end. But it has a good mix of action and comedy throughout with a nice supporting cast that also includes Eva Mendes and Michael Keaton. (The Dark Knight returns! Where have you been, Keaton?) </p>
<p>On home video, if you buy the single-disc DVD, you get short-changed. The Blu-ray has a King&#8217;s Ransom of supplemental material. If you have ever poured through the contents of an Adam McKay release, then you know that the guy loves him some deleted scenes and gag reels. <I>The Other Guys</i> has them aplenty, and the Blu-ray includes numerous comedy bits not found on the DVD. Over 100 minutes of bonus material in all, like a line-o-rama, a &#8220;Pimps Don&#8217;t Cry&#8221; music video, alternate action and eight more featurettes. </p>
<p><img src=http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2010_the_town_020-e1292424368241.jpg height ="201" width ="250" align = "left" style="margin:5px;" >Whatever career advice Ben Affleck got after the whole J-Lo episode, that person should be paid handsomely. The one-eighty he&#8217;s taken is extraordinary. In the early part of this decade his resume was littered with crap like <I>Surviving Christmas</i> and <I>Pearl Harbor</i>. But in 2006 his fortunes started to change. He got good reviews for his performance as George Reeves in <I>Hollywoodland</i>. A year later he adapted the Dennis Lehane novel <I>Gone Baby Gone</i>. The private detective yarn signaled his debut as a director. Three years after getting rave reviews for his directing he returns with another adaptation, this time Chuck Hogan&#8217;s Hammett Prize-winning novel <I>Prince of Thieves</i>. Not to be confused with <I>Robin Hood: PoT</i>, the film was titled <I>The Town</i>. Set in Boston in the neighborhood of Charlestown, The film is a crime thriller that plays up to genre conventions. It&#8217;s basically a smaller scale version of Michael Mann&#8217;s <I>Heat</i>, but set in Boston. The similarities aren&#8217;t uncanny but expected. You have Ben Affleck in the lead role as career criminal Doug MacRay. Able to plan the perfect bank heist, one day a robbery doesn&#8217;t go accordingly and a bank manager (Rebbecca Hall) is taken as a hostage. Later, after her release, Affleck begins to develop feelings for the lass, while being pursued by the FBI unit commanded by Don Draper. With pressure coming from a local crime boss (Pete Postlewaite) and heat from the FBI looming, Doug has some serious decisions to make. Should he try to make a go of it with his new girl, or should he remain loyal to his friend (Jeremy Renner) and do one last job? </p>
<p><I>The Town</i> is a very good flick because of the supporting cast involved &#8211; Renner, Hamm and Hall are all good &#8211; but it is Affleck who is the strength of the film, able to pull the audience in to his world and make us care about a hoodrat from Charlestown. Even better may be Affleck&#8217;s decision to use real citizens as opposed to actors to take up space in the background &#8211; at bars, on the street, etc. For a while the film was circling the bottom half of my top 10 year list of the year. But after its release in October, I&#8217;ve seen many more films that are just as worthy for top 10 consideration. So not in my top 10. Top 20, maybe. </p>
<p><I>The Town</i> is not a feature-laden title, but it does have an extra that should be the norm for future extended cut releases from now on. When you select the &#8220;Extended Cut Scene Indicator,&#8221; a small icon will appear on the screen to denote scenes that didn&#8217;t appear in the theatrical release. Other notable features include a commentary track with Ben Affleck flying solo, plus six featurettes that can be viewed as one long 31-minute feature, or while watching concurrently with the theatrical cut. </p>
<p><img src=http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2010_despicable_me_004-e1292424383528.jpg height ="181" width ="200" align = "left" style="margin:5px;" >The last two films I&#8217;ll keep brief, because I know you want to see all the DVD and Blu-ray deals of the week. <I>Despicable Me</i> was the biggest surprise of the summer. With more invested in advertising than production, Universal was able to sell the hell out this movie about a supervillain who is upstaged by another. To get revenge he uses a trio of orphans (and an army of minions) to get the upper hand once and for all. Despite an impressive vocal cast (including Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand and Julie Andrews), it is the yellow minions that steal the movie. Like Scrat in the <I>Ice Age</i> movies the minions are the comic relief. (Not that there isn&#8217;t anything wrong with that.) Apparently Universal and the creators saw how much the kids enjoyed the minions, because with the release of <I>Despicable Me</i> one of the extras is three new mini-movies under the heading &#8220;Minion Madness.&#8221; Other special features include featurettes on the making-of <I>Despicable Me</i>, the vocal cast and music, plus interactive games (&#8220;Super Silly Fun Land,&#8221; &#8220;Gru&#8217;s Rocket Builder&#8221;), and the option to view all the behind-the-scenes footage with &#8220;Gru-Control.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src=http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2010_legend_of_the_guardians_the_owls_of_ga_hoole_014-e1292424960373.jpg height ="181" width ="200" align = "right" style="margin:5px;" >I&#8217;ll be honest when I say I wasn&#8217;t wowed by <I>Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga&#8217;Hoole</i> like Scott <a href="http://insidepulse.com/2010/09/25/legend-of-the-guardians-the-owls-of-gahoole-review/">here</a>, but that may because anthropomorphic owls as heroes are a tough sale.  The film includes Zack Snyder&#8217;s (<I>300</i>, <I>Watchmen</i>) calling card, where he&#8217;ll slow down the action on screen to have things move at an infinitesimal speed and then quickly speed things up. Some call this technique &#8220;speed ramping.&#8221; With 300 Spartans the effect was all about depicting the veracity of combat, but here the movements are more poetic in nature, allowing us to see the ruffle of owl&#8217;s feathers as it glides in the wind. <I>Owls</i> is a pretty picture. What it lacks in story it make up for in visuals. Another plus is the actors that Synder has assembled to lend their voices. Among the actors included are Jim Sturgess, Ryan Wanten, David Wenham, Anthony LaPaglia, Helen Mirren, Sam Neill, Hugo Weaving, and Geoffrey Rush.</p>
<p>Released earlier in the fall, the film got a fifty-fifty split by audiences and critics in terms of approval. And now on home video, Warner Bros. doesn&#8217;t offer fans and/or newcomers much in terms of extras. A 15-minute featurette, the Looney Tunes short &#8220;Fur of Flying&#8221; appear on both the DVD and Blu-ray releases. The Blu-ray has a few more features like &#8220;Maximum Kid Mode&#8221; where the film breaks away to a behind-the-scenes featurette hosted by an animated character &#8211; a first, I think. Also, there are two interactive games (&#8220;Armor Up with Soren and Eglantine,&#8221; &#8220;Match the Owl Treats&#8221;), four art galleries, a dreadful music video and a short feature that could have been an alternate opening for the film (&#8220;Legend of the Guardians: Rise of the Guardians&#8221;).</p>
<p>Well there you have it &#8211; a quick overview of five new releases worthy of your hard-earned money. </p>

<div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.tvshowsondvd.net/graphics/news3/24_S8_DVD.jpg" border="0" alt="24 - The Complete 8th Season DVD" width="393" height="545" /></p>
<div></div>
<div>Eight days &#8211; that&#8217;s how long &lt;I&gt;24&lt;/i&gt; lasted as a series. But take those eight days multiply it by 24 and you have 192. As in 192 episodes. While the series has met the requirement for syndication, it&#8217;s not a series you can pick up on a whim. If you don&#8217;t start from the beginning of a season, you might as well wait for the DVD. Well, you&#8217;re in luck. Time may have run out of <em>24</em>, but now you can relive every heart-pounding minute of the show&#8217;s final season  with <strong>24: Season Eight</strong>. <strong> </strong>New York City is the backdrop and Kiefer  Sutherland  is back as counter-terrorist Jack  Bauer. All business, all the time, Jack again finds himself pulled back in to CTU to uncover a Russian  extremist plot to assassinate an Islamic leader   during peace  negotiations with U.S. President Taylor. Fan favorites   Elisha Cuthbert,  Mary Lynn Rajskub, Cherry Jones, and Annie Wersching   are joined by new  faces Anil Kapoor, Katee Sackoff, Bob Gunton and  Freddie Prinze Jr.  for Jack&#8217;s final, nail-biting 24 hours protecting   America&#8217;s freedom.</div>
<p><br/><br />

		<description><![CDATA[24 meets the Fantastic Four?]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As was <a href="http://insidepulse.com/2010/08/30/bruce-willis-to-starvoice-the-thing-in-fantastic-four-reboot/" target="_blank">reported earlier</a>, Fox has Bruce Willis on their shortlist of actors to play the role of Benjamin &#8220;The Thing&#8221; Grimm in the upcoming reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise. Now <a href="http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22051" target="_blank">another name can be added to the list</a>, that of Kiefer Sutherland; 24&#8242;s Jack Bauer.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Kiefer" src="http://static.tvfanatic.com/images/gallery/kiefer-sutherland-picture.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="409" /><img class="alignnone" title="Thing" src="http://www.tabletmag.com/images/features/feature_739_story.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="412" /></p>
<p>I like Kiefer, but the only reason I could see him working as The Thing, hell, him or Willis, happens to be in the manner that the character is planned to exist in the movie. Entirely as CGI with a voice actor. Either would do a great job, but if it&#8217;s Kiefer then the words &#8220;Damn it&#8221; better be in the script at least once every four pages.<br />
