Equalizer or equaliser (see spelling differences) may refer to:
The Equalizer is an American crime drama television series, originally airing on CBS from fall 1985 until late-spring 1989. It starred Edward Woodward as a retired espionage/intelligence officer with a mysterious past, who uses the skills from his former career to exact vigilante justice on behalf of innocent people who are hopelessly trapped in dangerous circumstances. The series combined elements of the spy film, private investigator/police procedural drama, and vigilante genres.
A film adaptation of the TV series, starring Denzel Washington, was released in the U.S. on September 26, 2014.
The series featured British actor Edward Woodward as Robert McCall, a former covert operations officer of an unnamed US government intelligence organization, which was often referred to simply as "The Agency" or "The Company" (it is implied that it is the CIA), who tries to atone for his past by offering, free of charge, his services as a troubleshooter, a protector, and an investigator. People in need find him through a newspaper ad: "Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer. 212 555 4200." When he begins this business in the pilot episode, it is revealed that the nickname "Equalizer" was bestowed on him by another operative by the name of "Brahms," played by Jerry Stiller.

Denzel takes a turn at being Liam Neeson in this movie that is very sinful, but still not unentertaining. Jeremy wrote a book: http://theablesbook.com Next week: Something animated, something disasterish. Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins do YOU want to see recounted?

"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455944/" ( 7,2) - Didn't sleep a wink, did you? - Hey. - Robert, that girl, Alina... - Why? - I couldn't tell you why it mattered. - Why what they did to her, that mattered to me so much. - One day somebody, ...does something unspeakable to someone else to... someone you hardly knew, and you... do something about it because you can. - Because it's who you are? - Who you've always been? - Sometimes we make the wrong choices to get to the right place. - I know a part of you died when Vivian did. - But not the part she loved the most. - Go be him. - Yep. - Don't forget to say goodbye. - Good bye. - Everything all right? - Were you able to help him? - He didn't come for help. - He came for permission.
"Hit it"
[Verse 1:]
This is a broadcast from the universe
Supersonic bond, metaphor, megahertz
I'm on a mission with the mic in the holster
Spread the love from coast to coast hear the dope for editing
My only enemy's inside of me
Trying a lot of me but my degree's in the anatomy
My thoughts, they rotate, like planets round the sun
I observe them one by one, like a scientist
Once again kids be breaking the rules
Taking the school, the MCs playing the fool
What do you do, when all eyes are looking at you
For the answers to impossible questions that ain't true
That when I fall back
Recognize magnetic attraction pulling light down to this physical fraction
Makes me human, that why I humanize
I came to make the breaker, make it equalize
[Chorus:]
There's no need to run
Staring at the sun
There's one place left to go
And everybody knows
Things are going to change
There's only better days coming
[Verse 2:]
I'm back from sabbatical this mathematical magical stealth with the microphone
Seeing knowledge as self
Its here to elevate, regulate, or discombobulate
The weight of illegitimate fate now
Whatever the time, remember the mind's not the body
It's probably my last time but maybe not 'cause I've
Got a new style, it's what's up
Pain of the people means pop don't stop
Ladies and gents this is school house rock
Changing the plot, hip-hop with me or not
Ripping apart, its stereotypical art
Holding me back 'cause rap's not a grade of the dark
Jimi Hendrix was a hero to most
That's why we crown and toast the brand new host
All the unknowns, they were heroes to most
That's why we crown and toast the brand new host, equalize
[Chorus]
Gimmie a beat
Gimmie a beat
[Chorus]
I'm walking down this open road
I've got to shake this heave load
I know there's things in life I'll never see 'cause heaven only knows
Take this heavy load
