Three Five Dollar Shake readers will win a Bones Coffee Mug! Thanks to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, who also drafted the fun Bones featurette below.

Squint 101: Internship Advice.

In Bones, Booth coined the term Squints for Brennan’s interns because they’re the ones who have to look at evidence really closely at a crime scene. In this feature, we will offer internship advice, using examples from Squints featured on the show, on how to knock the socks off your supervisors and be an ass-kicking intern.

Always Take Notes

Intern Vincent Nigel Murray is one of the lucky one when he was born with a retentive memory, enabling him to memorize trivia and important facts and notes, without having to write anything down.  However, most people aren’t born with such gift so during your internship, always take a notepad with you and take notes whenever your supervisor tells you any information or whenever you participate in any meetings. It’s always good to have something to refer back to instead of pestering your superiors with questions they’ve already addressed.

Work Hard and Reap the Benefits

Wendell Bray is like most interns – he comes from a modest family and he received help to pay for his college education. Throughout his internship with the Jeffersonian, Bray worked hard and juggled schooling and other extracurricular activities, including participating in a hockey team. When Bray’s scholarship was pulled due to lack of funding, the Jeffersonian team made sure he was able to stay in school and keep his internship, proving that hard work and pleasing your employers pay off in the end.

Stay Out of Office Drama

Clark Edison is a Jeffersonian’s intern who’s strictly all about the job at hand. He finds interpersonal drama overwhelming and believes it’s a roadblock on performing well on the job. So beware of all the water-cooler gossips you overhear – stay focus on the task and leave office drama to others.

Don’t Rush Through Your Work

Daisy Wick is Jeffersonian’s least successful intern due to her clumsiness and her habit of blurting out whatever she’s thinking. Dr. Brennan finds her irritating, especially after she shattered a skull, and has thus fired her twice. Unlike Wick, interns should exercise caution on their work and pay attention to details; don’t do a haphazard job only so you can be the first one done.

Share Your Talent & Background

When it comes to internships, you want to leave an impression on your supervisors, albeit a positive one of course, as they are capable of someday offering you a job. Don’t follow into intern Arastoo Vaziri’s footsteps in hiding your talent and past experience because you never know when it may actually help you out and push you ahead of the competition.

Burn Notice Season 5 on DVD Giveaway (2 Winners)

Spies don’t get fired … they get burned!

Secret agent Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) just received a burn notice – fired – for unknown reasons. Now, Westen must find out who issued the notice and why they did it without being able to use the resources and contacts he once had at his disposal.

While searching for answers, Weston receives help from Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), his ex girlfriend, an ex-IRA agent and Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell), a former Navy SEAL. And then there’s Madeline (Sharon Gless), Westen’s overbearing mother. Together they not only go after answers for Michael, but also take on impossible jobs for wronged and desperate people in Miami.

Created and written by Matt Nix, Burn Notice combines a mixture of action and a fresh sense of humor that combined result in a new breed of spy. Burn Notice is about to start it’s 6TH successful season!

Ten Reasons Why I Love Burn Notice!

10. Light comedy-drama(dramady) at it’s best.
09. Beautiful Miami Beach location. I wouldn’t mind being burned there.
08. Witty and entertaining comebacks. The characters are filled with them.
07. Gabrielle Anwar. Gotta love a girl who is all about explosives, and guns for the name of justice.
06. 1973 Dodge Charger! So cool!
05. Easy on the eyes Jeffrey Donovan. The man can wear a suit! Run in a suit, fight in a suit, and blow things up in a suit, and still look good.
04. Sharon Gless as Maddie, Michael’s mother. Sharon at times steals the show. Some of the best scenes over the years belong to her.
03. Bruce Campbell (amazing character actor). One my all time favorites.
02. Good writing. The show is smart. I truly enjoy the who done it, and why of each episodes.
01. Michael has the best toys! James Bond & MacGyver have nothing on him. I love watching and hearing as he makes most of his gadgets himself. Amazing and so entertaining to watch. I, of course am plotting to make my own spy gadgets with each episode…lol Just kidding.

The suspense, betrayal and intense action make Season 5 of “BURN NOTICE” a must-see! After increasingly dangerous and criminal missions, Michael comes face to face with the man who burned him and the one closest to him who knew about it all along.

White Collar Season 3 on DVD #Giveaway (2 Winners)

About White Collar:
White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay.)

When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: He’ll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals in exchange for his eventual freedom. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can’t be found on the right side of the law.

Shinning guest stars:
As the popularity of White Collar has grown, so has their list of prestigious guest stars. From former brat packer Andrew McCarthy and three-time Emmy® winner Beau Bridges, to Lando Calrissian himself, Billy Dee Williams and Emmy winner Tom Skerrit. Here, we will count off some of the most memorable cameos during White Collar’s three seasons.

TOM SKERRIT won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of Sheriff Jimmy Brock in Picket Fences and was in all of our hearts in Steel Magnolias. As one of America’s favorite movie and TV dad’s, it was no surprise when he turned up on White Collar in season 3 as Agent Burk’s arch-nemesis; his father-in-law.

If anyone thought One Tree Hill alumnus HILARIE BURTON would be held to teenage idol roles, she certainly broke through that mold when she joined White Collar in the recurring role of Sara Ellis, a sexy and clever insurance broker that catches Neal Caffrey’s eye.

For over ten years, DIANE NEAL has portrayed tough-as-nails prosecutor Casey Novak on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. But in the thirteenth episode of season one, she joined the WC squad as FBI Agent Kimberly Rice who reluctantly accepts Neal Caffrey’s help to find a man’s kidnapped daughter.

BEAU BRIDGES has thrice appeared as menacing Agent Kramer, who is skeptical of Neal’s reform and determined to bring him down and send him back to prison. Bridges comes from a rather illustrious acting family – his father, Lloyd, and brother, Jeff, are also award-winning actors.

Star Wars icon BILLY DEE WILLIAMS has made appearances on some of televisions most memorable shows – The Cosby Show, The Jeffersons, Scrubs, Lost and Dynasty among them. As Ford, on White Collar, Williams was reunited with Dynasty wife Diahann Carroll, and gives Matthew Bomer an opportunity to show off one of his other talents: singing.

ANDREW MCCARTHY first appeared in a special flashback episode as the notorious Vincent Adler – the man who taught Neal Caffrey everything he knows though the former teen idol hardly seems old enough to be mentoring the next generation. McCarthy has not only guest starred in two episodes, he also directed an episode in season 3.

Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star ELIZA DUSHKU appeared in the ninth episode of season 3 as a very sexy distraction from Neal’s relationship troubles with Hilarie Burton’s Sara. In addition to Buffy, fans may remember Dushku’s roles in the beloved cheerleader epic Bring it On as well as Fox’s Dollhouse.

My thoughts on White Collar:
I hadn’t watched this show before receiving this giveaway opportunity. Thanks to the power of TV on DVD and online viewing I was able to get acquainted with While Collar real quick!

I find the premise of the show pretty unrealistic, yet extremely entertaining. What makes the show for me is the great chemistry of a likable cast. Neal Caffrey and Tim DeKay have an outstanding bromance going on and it works. I also totally love how Macgyver-like some of the tactics are that they use, white crime bad guys don’t stand a chance. Another major reason why I’ve become a White Collar fan is – I love how clean this show is. Nothing too naughty, no bloody gore or disturbing images, I like that! Also, women will (should) love this show. The women characters on White Collar are written smart, beautiful, and important to the story. Having two smart, beautiful daughters, this is a trend I hope to see more of on television.

Win White Collar Season 3 on DVD !

Release Date : June 5th, 2012

The Season 3 DVD features never-before-seen bonus footage including deleted scenes, a gag reel, commentary on “Judgment Day,” a “WHITE COLLAR” trivia challenge for fans and a hilarious intervention caught on tape by the cast and crew with showrunner Jeff Eastin who’s overzealous tweeting gets out of hand!

Thin Ice Arrives on Blu-ray and DVD June 12

GREG KINNEAR AND ALAN ARKIN ARE ON

THIN ICE

Caper Comedy Featuring Star-Studded Cast Breaks Through To Blu-ray and DVD June 12

Hailed as “a crime twist worthy of Hitchcock and dialogue worthy of the Coen Brothers” (Screen Daily), Thin Ice arrives on Blu-ray and DVD June 12 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Starring Oscar®-nominee Greg Kinnear (As Good AS It Gets, Little Miss Sunshine), Academy Award winner® Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine), Billy Crudup (Almost Famous, Jesus’ Son) and Lea Thompson (Back To The Future), this intriguing caper premiered to critical praise at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

Mickey Prohaska (Kinnear) is a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife (Thompson) and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is about selling a story — all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer (Arkin) who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission. But Mickey’s attempt to con the old man spins out of control when a nosy, unstable locksmith (Crudup) with a volatile temper dramatically ups the stakes, trapping him in a spiral of danger, deceit and double-crossing.

The Thin Ice Blu-ray and DVD offers three bonus features including a behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes and a look at the Sundance premiere. The Blu-ray will feature both the theatrical and Director’s cuts of the film.
