DVD Spotlight: 'Burn Notice' Season 6

June 13th, 2013 2:10pm EDT
Burn Notice
With Burn Notice's final season airing on USA, Fox Home Entertainment has sent the penultimate season out on DVD. Burn Notice: Season Six is not unlike Michael Westen himself - it's not flashy or whiz-bang, just a solid set that delivers all the things you'd expect a TV on DVD release to have.

No spoilers here for those who haven't caught up, but this season of the spy drama is where it begins to show its age just a little bit. Particularly when considering the season's major villain, it becomes obvious that Burn Notice has stretched its original mythology about as far as it possibly can. ...

June 6th, 2013 10:55pm EDT
Burn Notice
Burn Notice is back for the final time, and returns with a season premiere that while not the most exciting episode on its own, certainly generates plenty of excitement for what should be an ambitious swan song.

After making his mysterious deal with the CIA at the end of season six, Michael Westen is now operating solo in the Dominican Republic, and looking a lot worse for wear. He's drinking, has grown an unflattering beard, and is brawling in an underground fight club. His bad luck's been around for awhile: nine months earlier, we see why Michael made that deal in the first place, as a s...

'Burn Notice' Preview: An Incredible Return In Its Final Season

June 5th, 2013 8:30pm EDT
Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen
It's the final season for one of USA’s signature shows: Burn Notice. When long-running shows begin their final episodes, we typically get a focus on the main character and how they became who they are now. Instead, the team behind Burn Notice is smartly taking us back to who Michael was before the show even began.

When the season premiere, "New Deal," begins, Michael is in deep cover in the Dominican Republic, 9 months after accepting a role at the CIA again in order to protect his friends. Jack Coleman (HRG from Heroes) plays Andrew Strong, his new handler who happened to be "in the marke...

'Revolution' Recap: 'Children Of Men'

May 29th, 2013 3:55pm EDT
Revolution - Season 1
In the first of its final two hours, Revolution delivered on most of what it seems to have been promising all season – lots of action, character development payoff, and answers to questions that we just couldn’t seem to figure out. In fact, the hour was wrought with so much action that it makes us wonder if the show left us anything for its final episode, save for an inevitable Monroe/Miles showdown and a final battle towards turning the power back on – which, as we now know, could result in either success…or death. For some time, we’ve wondered how Revolution would move towards its next se...
