Cheers to NCIS for putting Robert Patrick back on duty. The kick-ass character actor, last seen as Col. Tom Ryan on CBS' prematurely cancelled The Unit, reenlisted on the network as Col. Merton Bell, a former tank commander who now runs a powerful private-military contracting firm with business in Iraq and Afghanistan—and a penchant for breaking the law. With his buzzcut and gruff demeanor, Patrick...

Reading the credits on The Unit drew serious saliva from quality-TV junkies: The Shield ’s Shawn Ryan and ace writer-director David Mamet co-created and exec-produced the four-season CBS drama about the Army’s elite Delta Force, and Dennis Haysbert, fresh from his turn on 24 , stars. But lofty expectations weren’t met: The Unit played out like an adult (or maybe young-adult) version...

It's all over now, so perhaps it's the perfect time to catch up on The Unit , CBS' covert-ops drama starring Dennis Haysbert of 24 and insurance-commercials fame and Robert Patrick of Terminator 2 . Created by Shawn Ryan (of The Shield ) and David Mamet (who should need no introduction), The Unit tells the story of Delta Force, that elite squad that's sent around on secret missions around the globe--and...

But things are--as we economists...

As hardcore as they come, Che Guevarra 's image has been transformed by the very capitalism he railed against into something non-threatening enough that the totem has been given a pair of 3-D spectacles and serves as a logo for a rebel band of film enthusiasts. In sharp contrast to what the retail-industrial complex continues to try selling us, there are those that prefer the more organic charms of...
