Starting Sunday, Fox will give its viewers an exclusive look at one of the most anticipated movies this Spring. On Feb. 15, Fox will debut part one of a three-part reveal for the upcoming film X-Men Origins: Wolverine during “Family Guy.” Each of the 60-second spots will tie into another, giving “Wolvie” fans an episodic sneak peak into the film’s plot, characters and, of course, his origins as told by screenwriter David Benioff (The Kite Runner) and director Gavin Hood (Rendition).

The remaining two spots will air on Monday, Feb. 16, during “House” and the final installment will air on Tuesday, Feb. 17, during “American Idol.”

After the series of commercials air, all three will be available exclusively on Yahoo.

On the seventh day

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

God certainly was tired on the seventh day and the same seems to be true for “24.” It pains me to say as much, but six hours and one made-for-TV movie into the series’ seventh season and my pulse ain’t pounding like it used to. Preposterous and over-the-top plotlines made “24″ must-see TV. Hell, the show could even make you root for torture. (Make him talk Jack! He wants to kill Americans, the sonofabitch!)

But now, where “24’s” next move used to be utterly unimagineable, it all just feels too contrived, too predictable. Hotwire a car and drive it off the second story of a parking deck crawling with FBI agents? Sigh. Fake kill a woman who was the only one to trust you but now thinks you’ve betrayed her so that the bad guys think you’re one of them? Seen it. Infiltrate a terrorist network with a rogue band of former CTU cohorts because the government can’t be trusted? Yawn.

“24″ set the bar so high from the start that it’s slowly but surely become it’s own cliche. I’m starting to wonder if Jack Bauer can save this one, and dammit, we’re running out of time!

Sunday night protocol — “24″ season 7 premiere

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Jack is back.

And not a moment too soon. I’ve been feeding my addiction with late-night marathon viewings of seasons 1-6 (shout out to Blockbuster Rewards’ two-for-one deal). Season 7 premieres Sun., Nov. 23 at 8 p.m. with the two-hour “24: Redemption.” Jack’s in South Africa protecting the children, killing the bad guys and torturing evildoers when necessary. Plus, it’s in real time, y’all
