Synopsis: The destroyer U.S.S. Missouri embarks on its last journey from Pearl Harbor to San Francisco where she will be decommissioned. Manned only with a skeleton crew the crew prepares for the captain's birthday party - including the cook, Casey Ryback. But the party takes an unexpected turn and the ship is suddenly in the hands of mercenaries who want to get their hands on the nuclear warheads from the ship's arsenal. The only people who can stop them is "just a cook" - and a stripper.

My Opinion: I love this movie. I know it's cheesy but Casey and Jordan work very well together and Stranix and Krill are really cool bastards. And then there's of course the jumping-out-of-a-cake scene.
It's a nice action movie but there's one scene that upvalues the movie for me and that is the last scene of the movie where Ryback pays his last respects to the captain - in full dress uniform.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

24



What's the show about?
Jack Bauer works for the CTU, the Counter Terrorist Unit. He saves the United States more than once but he has only 24 hours to do so and not a minute more. And for this job he has to sacrifice everything: his family life, his health, his career and even his life.

"12:00a.m. - 01:00a.m."
Today is the day of the California presidential primary. Jack Bauer's unit has to prevent an attack on the black senator Palmer, a likely candidate for becoming the next president of the United States. Meanwhile Jack's daughter has sneaked out of the house and has disappeared.

My Opinion
24 is a great show even if the stories have become absurd lateley. They are fast running out of threats they didn't fight before. After watching the trailer of the seventh season I had the feeling it will be a mix of Die Hard 2 and 4, but I am willing to tune in.
