Elementary 2012

Elementary is a new TV show that is going to air on CBS on September 27, 2012. It really caught my eye because it seems really awesome. The series is about a contemporary and American view of the very popular British Detective Sherlock Holmes. The story will take place in New York City and Holmes, played by Johnny Lee Miller will be solving the cases. Another peculiar thing about this plot is that Holmes’s famous accomplice Watson is going to be a woman played by Lucy Liu. I don’t know yet what to expect! Will it be funny? Will it be dramatic? Will it be dark? The only thing that I know is that I want to watch it!

Here’s the trailer!! Enjoy!

Thrill, Drama and Humor

I want to do a brief review of the ABC TV series “Castle”. Although it is another, crime TV show Castle has something in particular: Humor. Most of the series in this genre are classified as drama or thriller, sometimes even action. This is one of the reasons why I enjoy watching Castle. It has everything a cop TV show needs, it has thrill, it has drama but it also has humor. I found myself various time laughing alone on my couch.

Castle’s plot is also very peculiar because he himself is not a cop nor he has some sort of asset that will qualify him as a consultant (like Patrick Jane on “The Mentalist” or Neil Caffrey on “White Collar”), he is just a writer whose ideas dried out. He joined agents Beckett’s team just to get inspired and amused. However, and the show develops you start to notice that he is useful and he is helping to catch the bad guys because there are only two kind of people that think about how to kill other people, they are: murderers and mystery writers.

In my opinion Nathan Fillion was born to play as the character of Richard Castle. He does it extremely well and makes people laugh with his kind of humor. He has his own bulletproof vest that says “WRITER” on it instead of “POLICE” and that makes me laugh every time because nobody takes him seriously.

So if you like thrilling and mystery TV shows but you want to laugh in between Castle is the show for you. Sometime it makes me remember of Scooby-Doo cartoons.

Airing Before I Was Born

Law and Order one of the most famous Crime TV shows around the globe! It is one of the oldest and longest as well, with many characters and different versions. Everybody knows this TV show even if they don’t like Cop series. I applaud the cast, the directors and producer for entertaining us for very long. It was airing even before I was born. Here is an interview with the cast three years ago when they were celebrating their 20^th anniversary. Let’s hear what they have to say

24 Redemption

24: Redemption is a television movie, which develops what happened between the sixth and the seventh seasons of the television series 24. It takes place on January 20, approximately three years after the events of the season 6. The movie takes place in the fictional African nation of Sangala. The movie was actually shot in Cape Town, South Africa. Jack Bauer is caught up in a military rebellion while searching a place where he could be in peace. Meanwhile, in the US, the elected president Allison Taylor is taking her oath. The film takes place in real time, lasting two hours, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM.
The film was released on November 23, 2008 in the USA and the extended version DVD was released two days later. It was issued on November 24, 2008 on Sky1 in the UK, on December 5 on Seven Network in Australia and on November 30 on Fox, in Latin America. In the extended version, the 24 clock that appeared on the commercials was removed, but remained at the beginning and the end.
The story is situated on the opening day for the new American President, Allison Taylor, and was filmed partially in South Africa. Jack has his soul very disturbed and he has been moving from one place to another seeking peace. However, he ends up in Africa in the middle of a military rebellion. At the same time, Bauer is cited to appear before a hearing of the Senate while he is in Africa. But he doesn't want to go, since he wants to get away from everything that has to do with his past life.
I believe that this technique used by the directors of 24 is very useful in order for the audience to catch up what is going on. Sometimes between seasons one tends to forget certain details about the plot, especially after a writer's strike. Making a movie really helped connect these two seasons which are very linked between them.
