New ABC drama blends CIA, family

5 p.m. EDT Thursday and has an initial order of 10 episodes. A decade ago, Becca Winstone (Judd) became a single mom when her CIA-agent husband Paul (Sean Bean) was blown up in Europe. Now their college-age son Michael (Nick Eversman) wants to go to Europe and study. Becca reluctantly agrees. Big mistake.
the perspective of a very serious mama grizzly.
Judd
When Michael goes missing, Becca heads to Europe to find him. And she is not going as the mild-mannered owner of a florist shop, her most recent activity. As the trailers for the show readily note, she is going as a former CIA agent with plenty of contacts, more than one enemy.
Soon enough she is not only on Michael's trail, she is deep in old, unresolved issues from her spying days — and both chasing and being chased by an array of intelligence operatives. I am trying not to give away any plot twists here, but in the two episodes I watched, there were plenty.
some secrets and plenty of skills of the bone-crushing, gap-jumping, motorcycle-speeding and multiple-language-speaking variety.
Gregory Poirier, who wrote "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," created the series — and it shares with that film attitude a sense that the audience won't ask too many plausibility questions as long as the show keeps moving.
But there are still questions to be asked, such as why the first episode ends on a silly cliffhanger — and why, if Paul really was killed, is Bean listed as a regular cast member. For that matter, as smart as Becca is, she commits at least one very boneheaded move — and it's the sort that will have you yelling at the TV for her to wise up.

Tatum, Hill make new '21 Jump Street' movie funny, clever
"21 Jump Street" is silly and relentlessly clever, and even though it goes a little slack in the final 10 minutes, the absolutely insane end credits more than make up for it.
As a teenager, Jenko (Channing Tatum) was a popular jock prone to slamming kids into lockers and doling out titty-twisters. Schmidt (Jonah Hill) was a hapless nerd with a bleached-blond Eminem bowl cut and braces large enough for Iron Man to envy. Seven years later, the two men are now police officers, relegated to bike patrol in public parks, until they bust a group of shady dopers and are promoted to the Jump Street unit, assigned to go undercover as high schoolers and bust a drug ring.

'John Carter' opens to weak ticket sales
Instead, with a weak opening this past weekend, Wall Street analysts expect the company to take a $165-million loss on a movie that has joined "Heaven's Gate," "Ishtar" and "Howard the
The source material was a century-old sci-fi touchstone that had inspired filmmakers including George Lucas and James Cameron. The movie would fit perfectly into Disney's plan to produce movies that would spawn sequels, become theme park attractions and drive sales of "John Carter" merchandise.

LOS ANGELES — When Walt Disney Co. executives gave the greenlight to the project that became the Martian adventure film "John Carter" they hoped they were launching the studio's next big franchise.
Duck" in the constellation of Hollywood's costliest flops.
What happened? The very things Disney thought would guarantee box-office success may have left "John Carter" star-crossed from the start. The acclaimed director had never made a live-action movie before. The executives guiding and helping market his movie were new on the job and had limited experience running movie divisions. And the source material, written beginning a century ago by Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs, had already been so picked over by its admirers that critics and audiences found the film hackneyed and stale.
"The worst thing that can happen to a movie is the marketing team changes midstream," said Peter Sealey, marketing strategist and former marketing president at Columbia Pictures. "It's disheartening for the filmmakers, for the talent. They lose belief in the film."
"John Carter" still has the potential to earn some of its money back. The movie opened to just over $30 million in domestic box-office revenue and earned $70 million more worldwide. But it's not the "Star Wars" or "Star Trek" the studio was hoping for. The status of any "John Carter" sequels or theme park attractions is unclear.
