Premiering tonight on CBS TV is 'Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior,' starring Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker, Janeane Garofalo, Matt Ryan, and Michael Kelly.
As the spin-off series from 'Criminal Minds,' Forest Whitaker stars in this new drama about a team of agents in the FBI's Behavior Analysis Unit who have unconventional methods of catching criminals.
Unit chief Special Agent Sam Cooper is a mentally and physically fierce natural leader who is not afraid to put his career on the line in order to stand by his convictions. Cooper strives to avoid political bureaucracy and has handpicked an eclectic group of profilers to work outside the confines of Quantico. They include Beth Griffith, strong-willed and outspoken, the newest member of the team who joins them from the FBI Threat Assessment Task Force; Former British Special Forces soldier Mick Rawson, confident and handsome, works as a highly-skilled marksman with an undiluted eye for rooting out evil; John "Prophet" Sims a former convict with a street-smart edge and a calm, Zen-like presence, who is determined to make amends for past sins; Gina LaSalle an attractive, tough agent armed with a cunning sense of perception; and Penelope Garcia, a computer wizard who has spent years aiding Agent Hotchner and his BAU team on its toughest cases.
This exceptional group of FBI operatives is strong in their beliefs and steadfast in their mission to bring the country's most dangerous criminals to justice.
Kirsten Vangsness, who plays Penelope Garcia on 'Criminal Minds,' will be a series regular, while Richard Schiff will have a recurring role as FBI Director Jack Fickler.
Coming out this week in theaters is 'Unknown,' starring Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz, and Frank Langella.

Dr. Martin Harris (played by Liam Neeson) awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife (played by January Jones) suddenly doesn't recognize him and another man (played by Aidan Quinn) has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by mysterious assassins, he finds himself alone, tired and on the run. Aided by an unlikely ally (played by Diane Kruger), Martin plunges headlong into a deadly mystery that will force him to question his sanity, his identity, and just how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth.
Out on home video is 'Unstoppable,' starring Academy Award winner Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson, Kevin Dunn, Ethan Suplee, Kevin Chapman, and Lew Temple.

Inspired by actual events, 'Unstoppable' is an adrenaline rush fueled by director Tony Scott's signature mark of propulsive action rooted in the reality of ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances. A veteran train engineer (played Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (played by Chris Pine) race the clock to stop an unmanned runaway train – effectively a missile the size of a skyscraper -- and prevent disaster in a heavily populated area.
Extras on the DVD will include an audio commentary with director Tony Scott, and a Tracking the Story: Unstoppable Script Development featurette. The Blu-ray release will include that, along with 4 additional featurettes ('Derailed: Anatomy of a Scene,' 'Hanging Off the Train: Stunt Work,' 'On the Rails with the Director and Cast,' 'The Fastest Track: Unleashing Unstoppable'), and a digital copy of the film.

Funny, never promoted the original series Criminal Minds, why would you think this is better. Forest Whitaker right? Well I not watching this if it means they are trying to replace the original. If you never watched the original, you won't get it. It not fair that CBS is promoting this, when they barely promoted the first one. If the first didn't have a great follow, Whitaker would have this show. And besides, you all there is an african american on that show too.

The episode on CM where Sam Cooper was introduced looked promising but after watching this premier episode I found it disappointing leading into boredom. It turns out to be more Hollywood trash. First off, Janeane Garofalo didnt even play a character, she played herself, a left wing rabble rowser. Second, a British FBI agent, Really! The feds comb the U.S. colleges for the best and the brightest and then they conduct an unbelievable background-a Brit shows no reality here at all. Third off, every crime drama has done the "nobody searches for the black kid but the cavalry comes for white kid" episode. If thats your first episode then your creative talent pool absolutely sucks. Whats next the dream sequence episode or jumping the shark? Why fire AJ Cook from the other CM? You should have brought her to this team and added some depth to the team. Sorry CBS. This show blows. Garcia was the only thing good about it. One other thing, The FBI director meeting the team in a run down warehouse, please stop the pain. The Director of the FBI travels with an entourage at all times.

I'm a big fan of the original series, but CM:SB is leaving me cold. last week's episode was a cornucopia of misplaced sympathy, and the big trick ending, shooting the corpse, was laughable. PLEASE, when the next paranoid, delusional mass murderer pops up dragging a corpse around, let the limey take the shot on target alpha.
