After Henry (Corbin Bernsen) discovers a body of a young woman, Shawn (James Roday) begins to suspect that the victim’s plastic surgeon (Lori Loughlin), and a former flame of Henry’s, who the victim was suing might be responsible. Running his own investigation, Henry uncovers another patient (Rebeka Montoya) as well as rival plastic surgeon (Gregory Harrison) both of whom had motive for the murder. However, Shawn’s theory looks more promising, especially after Henry finds the drug used to kill the victim in his former flame’s purse (and gets knocked unconscious by her shortly afterward).
When the sixth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise plays to its strengths (fast cars, good cinematography, beautiful women kicking butt, and some terrific action sequences) it works well. Sadly, we are also forced to sit through the franchise’s usual hamfisted attempts at dramatic tension and clichéd (not to mention extremely corny) dialogue which give us a mopey Vin Diesel for the first half-hour of the film and an inexplicable subplot involving Paul Walker in prison that doesn’t so much shit in the face of logic as refuse to exist the concept exists at all.
Today LEGO unveiled the largest LEGO model ever built, a life-sized X-Wing Fighter (43ft. long with a 44ft. wingspan) composed of 5,335,200 LEGO bricks. The life-size model includes “a photo booth in the cockpit, engines that light up, and a slate of sound effects.” Very, very cool.
When he realizes that the rest of the Titans won’t fall for anymore of his pranks, Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) turns to the team’s most gullible member by making Starfire (Hynden Walch) believe she has accidentally killed her teammate. To further torment the Tamaran princess, Beast Boy decides to begin haunting Starfire as his ghost.
Sideshow Collectibles had crafted some seriously cool statues and figures over the years but this Thanos and Mistress Death Polystone Diorama set is downright amazing. Thanos’ base includes Captain America’s shield, Thor’s hammer, Iron Man’s helmet, and the Silver Surfer’s board and you get a switchable head for Mistress Death as well. And the Infinity Gauntlet on the villain’s right hand lights up! The limited edition run is long sold out, so you’re likely going to have to search to find it and likely pay far more than the $350 original price tag.

With The Hangover Part III, fans of The Hangover series will get to see one more misadventure concerning Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) in a script by Todd Phillips and Craig Mazin that returns to the lingering consequences of the Wolfpack’s original Vegas vacation while largely ignoring the events of The Hangover Part II. (In fact, other than a cameo by Jamie Chung as Stu’s wife and one or two quick mentions of the trip to Bangkok, the events of the second film are completely ignored.) The result is an adequate final chapter hell-bent on providing audiences with its share of both laughs and groans.
