 "The law was made by rich white people. Our job isn't to follow the law. Our job is to make the law."

TNT brings us a different kind of legal drama with the first season of Franklin & Bash. These are a couple of young lawyers who don't let the courtroom rules get in the way of helping out their client. They've gotten themselves quite a reputation, and it's finally paying off.

"In ancient times the world was ruled by gods and monsters...And now the time of the gods is ending."

It appears that Greek mythology has become the fodder for a ton of movies of late. From young adult films to the hardcore action movies, audiences are getting their fill of the familiar gods and beasts from mythology lore. Some are calling it a trend or hot phase, like vampires and robots. Whatever it is, it isn’t a phase, and it isn’t merely passing through.

In 2004 DOG the Bounty Hunter first took to the airwaves. On the surface it looked like yet another one of those reality cop shows where camera guys followed the men in blue as they took down the bad guys. Dog wasn't a cop; in fact he'd spent a part of his life on the other side of the law. Still, he was decked out in a Kevlar vest with a badge hanging from a chain around his neck. The cameras followed him around as he kicked in doors and stalked his criminal prey.

"The ancients spoke of it. It is the heart of this fierce land. It is carried in the wind. Born of our legends, and when we are put to the test, it is the one thing that we must always be."

Readers of this site already know that I have a particular fondness for most of the films that have come from Pixar. The studio pretty much invented the computer-animated feature film, and they've been setting the bar higher with each new release. I've always thought it was rather fitting that the studio ended up as part of Disney. After all, it was the Mouse House that invented the animated feature to begin with.

As promised, here's more in our weekend coverage of Pixar's Brave. On Sunday we'll be posting a review. In the meantime check out this Witch's Brew.
