Thankfully things may be changing with BOOM! Studios’ new ongoing Robocop series by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Carlos Magno. Taking place directly after the …
Sons of Anarchy, Season 6: Episode 11 – “Aon Rud Persanta” Written by Chris Collins and Kurt Sutter Directed by Peter Weller Airs Tuesday nights at 10 on FX Nero calls it the Godfather dilemma: the more you try to distance yourself, the closer you get sucked in.

Sons of Anarchy, Season 6: Episode 2 – “One One Six” Written by Chris Collins & Adria Lang Directed by Peter Weller Airs Tuesdays at 10pm ET on FX FX has pretty much let Kurt Sutter have his way with Sons of Anarchy.

Warning: spoilers for The Adjustment Bureau (and all the other films discussed) follow. The Adjustment Bureau may have been marketed with the line ‘Bourne meets Inception’ (which it attributes to Total Film, though I can’t find this line in Jonathan Crocker’s review) but it’s a softer, sweeter film than that comparison suggests. And although it …
