Prison Break: Scan (2006)
Someone's Going Down
That phrase surmises it all up. Because in this Prison Break episode, we start by seeing a exploded car on a ditch and agent Mahone is looking at it. But then, fade out and a title appears saying "12 hours earlier". During those 12 hours earlier, Michael and Lincoln show up at Nika's house to heal Lincoln's leg. Michael sets out to get his car back only to fine that it has been taken to a car deposit. By the pieces of glass on the street, Michael realizes that a window of the car was broken. In the car there was everything they needed to disappear, but now a bag that was on the back seat has fallen into the hands of Mahone, who finds a passport with Michael's face on it but only with some other name. Bellick goes to a store where he runs into Geary, who was working there after being fired. They start fighting but they ended up having a drink together. Bellick says he wants to get the reward they are offering for the FOX RIVER EIGHT. They agreed to work together in order to find them. For that, Bellick uses Manche who, quoting T-Bag, "sang like Johnny Cash". Meanwhile, C-Note makes a phone call to his wife from a payed phone. The FBI hears the conversation and learn that C-Note is asking his wife to meet him within a week. Also, Sucre steals a car after he found out that Maricruz is getting married with Hector. The police is on him, but he manages to escape by jumping on a train heading to New York. When he got there, a friend of him tells that Maricruz's wedding is taking place in Vegas, so Sucre takes his friend's motorcycle and goes to Vegas. Getting near to the end of this episode, Michael comes up with a plan to get Mahone off their back, so he makes a phone call on purpose so that Mahone will track it. Once they tracked the call, they tracked where they are and where they're going. They start persecuting them, but Michael and Liconln stop at the middle of a bridge, take some bagged flesh and put it on the car and push it over the bridge. The car explodes and they run uphill. They meet with Nika again, who offers her car to them so that they can go to Mexice. Blindly, they start their journey thinking that the Feds will pay attention on the other guys, but they had absolutely no idea that Bellick and Geary are right behind them, which becomes the start of a new persecution. So, maybe in the next to episode, someone's is gonna go down and who that might be, we don't know. It could be C-Note or Sucre. But wait, we still got T-Bag, Tweener and Abruzzi. The most likely to go down is C-Note, because by the end of the episode, his wife helps the feds to haunt him.
Prison Break: Otis (2006)
A Great Show
After escaping from the cemetery with FBI Agent Mahone on their tail, Michael steals a bag of food from a couple that were on a picnic. After they ate, Michael gives Sucre and C-Note money to start a new life. Abruzzi asks for Fibonacci, but Michael refuses to give him this information. They end up leaving. Liconln learns in the newspaper that his son, LJ has a hearing in a courthouse to decide if he gets tried as an adult and he believes is the only chance to get him out. Meanwhile, Mahone attempts to use LJ to lure Scofield and Burrows. Warden Pope and Brad Bellick begin to feel disappointed once the case is handed over to the FBI and also when former CO, Geary tells on Bellick for selling PI to Abruzzi, which was the main reason why the inmates escaped in the first place. LJ receives a phone call from Liconln saying "I'm the third look out for Otis right" This is revealed later as a plan to get LJ out once he is on a elevator. Mahone tracks the call and knows that Michael and Liconln are trying to pull something off. He realizes it when he looks at a sign saying "Otis Manufactoring". Michael and Liconln try to get LJ, but Mahone sounds the alarm and manages to keep LJ with him. The police begin to pursuit Burrows and Scofield as they get into a car. Burrows is hit in the leg and bleeds really bad. Mahone is getting closer. Finally, T-Bag fixes his hand and then kills Doctor Gudkat. He changes his hair and takes a car to drive to Utah. Meanwhile, Tweener arrives to St. Louis and infiltrates a bunch of college students on their way to spring break.
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
A Great Adaptation
In case you've read the DaVinci Code then you must know it's a very specific book with interesting and complex dialogues, but at the same time it captures your attention whether because it deals with humankind's past or because it's just a great FICTION book. However, the film does show the scent the book once made feel us all, so that's a good point. Unfortunately, some of the actors were unspoiled and rather disappointing. Tom Hanks is well-known for being a great master of acting and we've been witness of his talent throughout all of his movies. But this time, he appears like a cold and inexpressive Robert Langdon, who doesn't seem to be worried of his charge of murder. Audrey Tautou performs her part very well actually, but also has no expressions but a cold reaction when she's told to be of Jesus's bloodline. Ian McKellen, I think, it's the best of the movie. His performance is right on top next to Paul Bettany's Silas. McKellen has always given the best of him in any movie he's done and I think this is one more. Although most people will consider McKellen's sequences rather boring, I believe he really sustains the movie making it as interesting as the book. Ron Howard's The DaVinci Code is a great adaptation of the Dan Brown's novel. But, once again, the performances are a negative point which makes impossible to the movie to entertain the audience.
