Pre-order “24: Live Another Day”

Beyond sounding like a wickedly smart title for a James Bond film, “24: Live Another Day” made a triumphant return to the small screen for a ninth season on FOX this year. Once again Keifer Sutherland reprised his role as Jack Bauer, the one guy capable of preventing a terrorist attack and has to contend with moles and stiff government agencies determined to stop him in addition to the terrorists.

Review: Pompeii

Infamous for his zombie apocalyptic “Resident Evil” franchise, it’s fitting that Paul W.S. Anderson’s latest effort, “Pompeii,” is a bit of a disaster — and only one way was it intentional.

“24” is almost here – another look at the trailer

That Superbowl result was exactly what I get for having to rely on Peyton Manning to not choke during a big game. Sigh. Anyway, the highlight for me was the quick teasers for what I was hoping was going to be our first look at “24: Live Another Day.” Sounds like a Bond movie, doesn’t it?

And when the full teaser arrived, I was so glad I didn’t miss it during some food run or bathroom break. For those of you who missed it, here you go:

May can’t get here fast enough for me! Who else is eagerly anticipating Jack and Chloe having to save the day again?

More details on the return of “24” to FOX including new name – “24: Live Another Day”

Fox execs confirmed they are bringing back Jack Bauer and company for a half season of “24.”

24’s back and I’ll be watching network TV again

Fox is considering having a 13 episode season of “24,” excuse me for a moment for me so I can do this: 

Now I can start the office pool of who this year’s CTU mole is and get annoyed with Jack Bauer’s superior who wants to question his every move before realizing he’s the only one who knows what he’s talking about.

But whatever they decide, please keep the cougars away from Princess Bauer.

Between this and “Arrested Development’s” return, I’ll actually have a reason to watch TV besides “Game of Thrones” again.
