I'm really pleased that "they" are rebooting The Equalizer. Not sure if Denzel Washington is the best replacement - Woodward will always be the real Equalizer - but at least the movie will be guaranteed have a lot of explosions with Washington in it.
But there is a really good novel written by one of the series creators now out, its a real page turner and I really don't want to do much other than read this thing - at the same time I don't want it to end - its that enjoyable.
And here in the states, Season 2 of the original tv series will be out next week, and as I recall that is the best season. You gotta love Mickey Kostmayer, who looks like a total slob, driving around in a falling-apart panel van full of automatic weapons and grenades in 80's NYC. This was a total urban fear show, and I think a kind of "western" - good guys vs bad guys and lots of shoot 'em up.
