Robin Hood - We’ve all seen heroes that come back from time to time. Even familiar ones. Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe team up for this latest outing of the famous bowman. Taking a look at the legend behind the story, Robin of Locksley (Crowe) returns from the crusades fighting for King Richard the Lion Hearted. However, when Robin returns home, he finds out that things are a lot different than when he left. When he meets Maid Marion (Cate Blanchett), she informs him of how bad things have really gotten. So Robin takes up the guise of Robin Hood who takes from the Rich and gives to the poor. He also becomes quite the thorn in the side of the Sheriff of Nottingham who works for King John (Danny Huston). Will Robin make a difference to the people who need his help? Scott is currently working on a new “Aliens” sequel that’s in the works and Crowe has a new thriller hitting theaters playing a husband whose wife has been accused of murder and now the only way to save her is to break her out of jail in “The Next Three Days” set for release Nov. 19.
Human Target - No one deserves to die. That’s what Christopher Chance (Mark Valley) believes. Season 1 is here as we join our hero. In the pilot episode, Chance has been hired by a beautiful designer (Tricia Helfer) whose life has been threatened. The only way to flush out the killer is to take a ride on the new 200 MPH bullet train running from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Assisting Chance in his fight are his partners Winston (Chi McBride) and the ever mysterious Guerero (Jackie Earle Haley). To make matters even worse, the killer has sabotaged the train’s brakes and now it won’t stop. Is Chance going to flush him out before they crash? One of our picks for the new fall TV season. Season 2 starts on Oct. 1 at 8 p.m. on Fox.
