24 Review: "10:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m." (Episode 7.15)
Mark this hour in your calendar, episode log, timesheet, whatever: Larry Moss, special agent heading the FBI in D.C. and ultimate pain in Jack Bauer's rear, is finally starting to get it. Perhaps not the most important bit in last night's thrilling episode of 24, but one we, and our poor televisions bearing the brunt of hurled insults and cries, can be thankful for nonetheless. As agents sweep Sen. Mayer's house for evidence, it finally dawns on Larry a third party was involved and that maybe Jack wasn't the culprit after all. Hmm, ya think? Don't be fooled. His body... read more

Found in: TV, ReviewsFox strips special features from rental DVDs
Renting a movie is like a purchase with insurance: If you don't like the movie, at least you paid $4 for it and you don't own it; but if you love it, you get to watch it and all the special features at a fraction of the retail price. 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is about to take the insurance away from us. Starting March 31, Fox will begin stripping rental DVDs of their special features in an attempt to increase DVD sales. ... read more

Ah, 24. As soon as we start warming up to annoying/loathsome characters, they kill 'em off! Never fails. It doesn't seem too long ago Sen. Blaine Mayer was conducting his torture hearings against one Jack Bauer (in the scene pictured above) at the outset of Day Seven. We hated him then; we hated him a few hours ago. Little changed...until last night. ... read more

You don't even need to be in the same room watching to know exactly what it is when you hear it: the pulse-like pound of the seconds as 24 either wraps up or goes to commercial break. But every once in a great while, there's an eerie quiet accompanying that bright yellow, digital clock up against the pitch-black background. To date, the silent clock in 24 has been used a total of nine times in the span of its seven seasons. Sometimes, it's to signify a heightened state of emotional uncertainty. Other times, it's out of respect for a fallen... read more

"And you, sir, are weak —unwilling and unable to look evil in the eye and deal with it!" As he's being taken into custody, this is what Jack yells at the senator (AKA: the dad from That '70s Show) holding the torture hearings against him, shortly after he nearly cracks the politician's slimey chief of staff, a man in the know about the next terror plot. Anyone watching 24 the past seven years and viewing it as mere entertainment may be slightly at odds with Day Seven, as the show and its creators continue shoving back at its critics in... read more

Brace yourselves and set your DVRs an hour early: Fox is airing a special two-hour event of 24 next Monday, taking us right to the halfway point of the season. And judging by the teaser for next week, it's going to be huge, at the very minimum involving a threat against President Taylor's life. Even as moles tried scurrying back into their holes, cars crashed into other cars and people (Jack, obviously) shot and sliced open bad guys, there was an eerie "calm before the storm" atmosphere hovering over last night's 24. That's because with main baddie Colonel Ike Dubaku... read more
