Hey guys… Matt here. So I’m just about to leave my house to catch Captain America: The First Avenger which I’m just giddy about seeing today considering my love for the character, and remembering the days in the early 90′s when I would watch the Matt Salinger version literally nonstop – just getting caught up in the colourful costumes and the vibrancy of it all – when I see this article is ready to be published from WhatCulture! writer Tom Ryan.
Now Tom is a great guy but man, he couldn’t have picked a more contentious article to pitch to me. I mean after all, Obsessed With Film was born one hot summer night in July 2006 when I came back from a screening of Superman Returns completely disheartened by what Bryan Singer had done with one of my childhood favourite characters. If it wasn’t for my anger...

Jesse Porter is pissed. John Barrett is not a very nice guy and he’s brought an army. Vaughn is probably a little cranky too. All of these guys are looking for Michael Westen, and not to give him a hug. What a way to cap the first half of a great fourth season of Burn Notice!
In case you weren’t one of the people (myself included) who were watching USA’s handy marathon of the season to date today, here’s the quick 411: Michael has his hands on Simon’s (Garret Dillahunt) Bible, which decodes…something important. It’s the key to bringing down the very bad people that both Vaughn (Robert Wisdom) and Jesse (Coby Bell) have been looking for over the last few years. These very bad people have come to Miami in the person of John Barrett (Robert Patrick), who wants the Bible to...

Last week on The Unit's fifth episode, we saw the team as they took on a complex transaction that required extensive planning. In fact, the team needed to give up something as valuable to get what they wanted. Last week, we saw the unit as they were assigned to retrieve a nuclear scientist. The task wasn't as east as it sounded as the scientist initially refused to cooperate. When he finally succumbed to their demands, they came to an agreement in which the team had to get vital information from him concerning a terrorist attack.
Meanwhile, we also saw Molly, Kim and Tiffy take on a covert operation which drafted them into the service. They also worked undercover with Jonas. Tonight, the drama and mystery continues as The Unit returns with Dennis Haysbert as Jonas Blane, Scott Foley as Bob Brown, Robert Patrick as Colonel Tom Ryan, Regina Taylor as Molly Blane,...

Fans of CBS' The Unit are gearing up for September 28, when the series comes back for its fourth season. The show, which stars 54-year-old Dennis Haysbert as Sergeant Major Jonas Blane, follows a group of counter-terrorists as they risk their lives going into missions that take them undercover in various parts of the world.
The operative group is led by Blane, and is composed of Colonel Tom Ryan (Robert Patrick), Mack Gerhardt (Max Martini), Charles Grey (Michael Irby), Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) and Bob Brown. Blane's wife, Molly (Regina Taylor) is a base matriarch acting as a counselor for other wives as they deal with the fear for their husbands' security.
In the previous season of The Unit, we left off with Jonas, who was in the middle of an investigation concerning the link between a Russian uranium dealer and his old friend at MI5. Bob was promoted to Sergeant First Class.
