Review: The CW’s NIKITA

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: September 8th, 2010 at 10:06 pm

I’ve never seen Luc Besson’s 1990 film La Femme Nikita, nor the 1993 American remake Point of No Return.  I have vague memories of commercials for the USA series that followed in the late 1990s, but I don’t recall ever, you know, watching it.

I’m in the heart of The CW’s target age group (if not gender), though, so I imagine that’s what the network expects — maybe even wants.  I recognize the brand, but I’m a blank slate.  I couldn’t tell you how The CW’s Nikita fares against prior iterations, but the first episode left me mostly impressed.  My review after the jump.

Maggie Q Interview NIKITA

by Christina Radish    Posted: August 26th, 2010 at 5:07 pm

As a deeply troubled teenager, Nikita (Maggie Q) was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known as Division. Fooled into believing that she was being given a second chance to start a new life and serve her country, she quickly learned that she was instead being trained as a spy and assassin. After being betrayed by the only people she thought she could trust, she did the impossible by escaping, in order to seek retribution and destroy their covert operations.

During an interview to promote the CW’s Nikita, show star Maggie Q talked about taking on the legendary character, her love of action roles and vowed never to wear that red bikini in the pilot episode again. Check out what she had to say after the jump:

CHUCK The Complete Second Season Blu-ray Review

by Nico    Posted: February 3rd, 2010 at 10:40 am

Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up and be a secret agent overnight?  As the titular lead of the television show Chuck, Chuck Bartowski would probably say it’s not so nice, but he’s had his fair share of adventure and lady love.

For those who need a download of information on the series, brace yourselves.  Chuck works for the Nerd Herd department of a Burbank Buy More store, an ode to Best Buy’s Geek Squad (which, by the way, does have a Burbank location).  Chuck had a simple life until he opens an email sent from his former college roommate and the whole of the United States’ secret information gets downloaded directly into his brain.   More after the jump.
