White Collar – Under the Radar

Since it’s beginning White Collar has delivered strong cliffhangers at every mid-season and season finale. The final episode of Season Two is no exception. True, it might not be as memorable as Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) confronting Kate (Alexandra Daddario), the plane explosion, or Mozzie (Willie Garson) getting shot, but the ramifications of Burke and Neal Caffery’s (Matthew Bomer) blow-up (along with that final moment in the warehouse) look like they could play out for quite awhile.

“Under the Radar” finally puts Neal in front of the man (Andrew McCarthy) responsible for Kate’s death and reveals what he’s been looking for all this time. It also includes two returning guest-star love interests for Neal in the old friend gone missing (Gloria Votsis) and, perhaps, the next woman in Neal’s life (Hilarie Burton).

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Not every book deserves to be made into a multi-million dollar movie. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief attempts to mix Greek mythology with the modern day problems of teens into an epic adventure. The results are mixed.

Shortly after learning his son had be diagnosed with both Dyslexia and ADHD, Rick Riordan created a series of bedtime stories which would eventually become the Percy Jackson & the Olympians young adult novel series.

At times the story is all adventure, at others however it devolves into a pseudo-pop-psychology self-help manual with all the subtlety of a sledge hammer. Our hero, young Percy Jackson (played here by Logan Lerman) suffers from the same ailments as Riordan’s son, as well as some serious daddy abandonment issues, but turns each of these into a strength over the course of the film.
