Fox executives said Monday that its drama “24″ is returning next May for a limited run that will stretch into the summer. The adventure series with Kiefer Sutherland starring as Jack Bauer ended its original run in 2010.

While I admit that the last few seasons weren’t very good (they still brought us moments like this), I’m excited to see Jack Bauer on my television again.  12 episodes is perfect because one of the biggest problems with 24 was all the filler that was required to make this show last for 24 hours.  With half that number, we can get to the heart of the matter quickly (at least that’s the hope).

I think I’ll have to end my retirement from recapping 24 episodes.

I swore to myself a long time ago that I would never be that person who brings their child into the movie theater until they understand the concept of sitting quietly for two hours. If that means missing The Avengers 2 in 2015, so be it.  Sigh.

I’m getting ahead of myself.  We’re not there yet.

5. Pacific Rim (July 12)

Pacifc Rim

It was between this and The Wolverine for the number five spot but I picked Pacific Rim. The Wolverine, while promising, still has the potential to suck.  I’ve already been burned once by a Wolverine movie. Besides I’ve enjoyed every Guillermo del Toro I’ve ever seen and let’s be honest.  This is a film about gigantic man-controlled robots facing giant monsters in battle..  That may sound silly or stupid to you but to 13 year old Sean, it sounds like a dream come true.
