MacGyver SN1 E1 – The Rising

Just a friendly warning…. this review may contain spoilers!!

I will admit that I went into this as a skeptic.  I mean, I was absolutely sure that there was no way that this reboot would be as good as the original.  In fact, I was completely pissed off that they would even dare to touch something that I loved so much as a kid.  But, then as time went on and I saw more and more promos and trailers for the show, I had to admit that they were wearing me down.  I was happy to learn that Lee David Zlotoff (the creator of the original series) and Henry Winkler (who was an executive producer on the original) were going to be involved with this version. That’s when I was willing to give it a fair shot.  In fact, I can tell you the exact moment that the scales were tipped in this reboot’s favor.  It was the moment I saw this trailer on CBS….

100% reason to remember the name indeed.

There were a few predictable moments.  In fact, when Nikki got shot, I totally said “She’s not really dead.  We’ll see her again.”  I have witnesses…and I was right.

There were a ton of nods to the original series, too.  Including the aforementioned Nikki.  Nikki Carpenter was a character in the original, although she didn’t turn out to be a back stabber in that one.  There were plenty of paper clip and duct tape moments to keep any fan of the original series smiling.  There were characters from the old show, like Bozer (played by Richard Donner in the original) is Mac’s room mate in this new version.  The biggest one actually made me chuckle in happiness.  Remember the iconic pic of Richard Dean Anderson’s MacGyver with the missile thrown over one shoulder?  Here I’ll help ya out….

We got a shot of Lucas Till in the same pose.  That may have been the best moment of the show for me.  But, I’m going to have to let this one grow on me.  George Eads was the best part of this show, and he’s not the title character… that says something about this reboot and it’s not good.  Maybe once I get used to Lucas Till as opposed to RDA as MacGyver, I’ll be a bigger fan.  I’m holding out hope that we’ll see a return of the original Mac’s biggest nemesis … Murdoc (played by Michael Des Barres in the classic version).

I will say that if you never watched the original and you like to see them blow stuff up… then you’ll love this show.  Me?  I’m still reserving judgement.

I just can’t help it.  Richard Dean Anderson was one of my first big crushes when I was a kid.  Don’t judge me!  So, it’s going to take more than Lucas Till wielding a paper clip and a Swiss Army Knife for me to consider him MacGyver.

But, I’ll give the kid a chance.

Scrubs Creator To Launch Space Comedy

Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence is teaming up with his Undatables collaborator Adam Sztykiel for a new NBC single camera comedy. Spaced Out will be a workplace comedy (similar to Scrubs) but this time set in the not to distant future, where commercial space travel is available.

No cast are confirmed yet, however I’d put money on Lawrence’s wife Christa Miller popping up at some point. If Lawrence’s previous outings are anything to go by (as well as Scrubs and Undatables, Lawrence created Spin City and Cougar Town) he could be looking at another hit.

Space comedies appear to be in vogue at the moment, with Family Guy mastermind Seth McFarlane launching a space-based comedy drama on Fox next year.

Imogen Poots Cast in I Kill Giants Movie

Toronto Film Festival gave us some great upcoming movie scoops this year- particularly for comic book fans. The Internet was awash with stories about the latest Guardians of the Galaxy film, and Variety has reported that rising star Imogen Poots (That Awkward Moment) has been cast in upcoming comic adaptation I Kill Giants. The film will also star GotG leading lady Zoe Salanda and teen sweetheart Madison Wolfe (True Detective).

The film is based on the 2008 Image comic by Joe Kelly (who also wrote the screenplay) and J. M. Ken Niimura. The story focuses on a geeky outsider called Barbara (Wolfe) who escapes into a world of fantasy. Barbara is a great young female protagonist, especially for people who don’t quite feel like they fit in.

Salanda will play Barbara’s school psychologist Ms Molle, and it has not yet been reported what role Poots will play. The film will be directed by award winning Danish film maker Anders Walter.

I Kill Giants is due to start filming in late September, and due for release in 2017.

Pikapool: A New Species?

None other than mister Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, The Proposal),  shared below picture of Pikapool, a mixture of Pikachu and Deadpool, via his social media accounts. Is it a new species or are we just wishful thinking? I for one like it very much.

I don’t know who made this, but thank you. #MaximumEffort pic.twitter.com/nH1ywqeshN

— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) 22 september 2016

Ryan Reynolds is known to share cool stuff especially anything related to Deadpool. Which makes me wonder who the biggest fan of the character is; Ryan Reynolds or us? But that is another discussion.

Either way check out his Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/VancityReynolds/?fref=ts#) and/or Twitter (https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds) account for more goodies and snide remarks that are so Deadpool worthy. I honestly don’t know where Ryan Reynolds ends and Deadpool begins or vice versa but his remarks are so on the spot.

American Horror Story: Roanoke “Chapter 2”

The Millers starting to learn a little more about their home’s bloody past and Matt is now experiencing weird happenings like Shelby . Last week we left Shelby just as she had run into a scalped man in the creepy arse forest, so we pick up immediately where we left off in the creepy forest…

 

Roanoke, Chapter 2

 

Just when one thought Shelby couldn’t possibly encounter anymore horror, she stumbles upon The Butcher (Kathy Bates) and her village roasting the the scalped man that we seen Shelby runs into in the forest earlier, The Butcher has accused him of desertion and theft and are now purifying him by nailing a pigs tail to his arse and stuffing his head, into a pigs head and then roasting him to medium – well. The Butcher and her sidekick The Horned Woman (Lady Gaga), a woman with an antler-horned headpiece spots Shelby and gives chase, they chase her to the road where she is nearly cleaned up by her sister-in-law Lee. So am I right in assuming that the Butcher and her villages are possibly  the lost colony or  are the descendants of the lost colony of Roanoke.

The Miller’s are still reeling from the latest round of terror, as Shelby is looked over  and tested for hallucinogens at the hospital, you can’t really blame them for drug testing her given the latest story of human sacrifice, but her drug test comes back negative for hallucinogens, however, the officers find no evidence of Shelby’s story. The following morning Shelby tells Matt that’s she believes that the mountain hillbillies have created this elaborate hoax to scare them so the sell up and leave, but she and Matt decide that they will not be driven away from their home that easily.

 

Lee ex-husband Mason (Charles Whitfield) brings their daughter Flora (Saniyya Sidney) to the house for a visit and, Lee obviously hasn’t told Mason about the goings on in the are creepy arse house, otherwise, you would think the man would have enough sense to keep the child away! Flora finds a new friend in Priscilla (Estelle Hermansen), my evil cat is called Priscilla so I have the feeling she will be just as evil and my cat, Flora tells her mother that Priscilla offered to make her a bonnet if the family will help make “all the blood” stop. Not long after Lee hears a crash and investigates, she finds a little girl’s dirty white bonnet amid a broken vase….. An offering for “all the blood” to stop or is she taunting them?

Shelby thinks Lee bringing Flora to the house is asking for trouble, Later on, Shelby is woken by the sound of squealing pig outside, her and Matt head into the woods (Why People Why!) however they become separated from each other, it dark and the become disoriented. Shelby stumbles upon the sacrificial fire, Matt eventually finds her and the are fronted with someone’s roast dinner hanging on a wooden effigy, which Matt doesn’t  hesitate to destroy. Matt sends the Police to the site, they put a bulletin out for the Hillbillies, Ishmael Polk (Grady Richmond) and his sons as well as put a 24hr protective detail oné the Millers. Perhaps I have it all wrong, and the Hillbillies are actually the descendants of the lost colony, not The Butcher and her villagers?

Matt receives a phone call int the wee hours of the morning and goes downstairs to answer it. When he lifts the receiver, the voice on the other end says “Please, they’re hurting me”, when he looks done he realises that the phone was unplugged from the wall. As he turns around he sees two nurses who taunt the old women before executing her with a shot to the head for refusing to take the poison-laced medicine. The wall is already covered in blood, but the still thinks it needs a little more decorating so they spray paint it with an “M”,  the sadistic nurse’s laugh… “M” is for “Margaret“(Irene Roseen).

Mason arrives to pick Flora but neither of them can find her,  she was playing “Hide and seek” inside a small cupboard under the stairs with Priscilla, Flora offered the Priscilla her doll in exchange for not killing the family, however now the deal is off and they will kill Flora last, Mason grabs Flora and bundled her into the car, the guy couldn’t leave fast enough. With Flora being ripped from her mother and most likely will not see her again, has made Lee go off the sober tracks and she writes herself off. Shelby calls Matt to confirm that there is actually a woman outside the window, and what do they do….. They go looking for her and again, have they not learned from the last time they went looking. They track the woman to a trap door which leads to a cellar, meanwhile the sadistic nurses what over Lee.

Shelby and Matt look around the cellar and find that it actually not a cellar someone was living in there, they find a VHS camera with an intact tape. The  man on the tape is Elias Cunningham (Denis O’Hare) and the tape is from 11-10-1997, he describes the same malevolent forces pursuing him as Matt and Shelby. He was studying the nurses, Miranda (Maya Berko) and Bridget Jane (Kristen Rakes) who killed their retirement home patients purely based on the first letter of the victims’ names, spelling the unfinished word “Murder”. Previous tenants have experienced the unfinished word constantly reappearing despite painting and wallpapering the wall. Matt starts removing the wallpaper from the kitchen where it was written and sure enough the word was lying behind the wallpaper.

Matt and Shelby call the bank wanting a refund for their investment property, however, the bank refuses and explains to them that the auction of the property has absolved the bank of responsibility. Lee arrives with Flora and is now in violation the custody agreement, Flora sees her friend calling her into the woods, but when they search for Flora they only find her hoodie at the top of a tree which is at,least a hundred feet over their heads.

Join me next week when we look at  American Horror Story: Roanoke “Chapter 3” airing Wednesday 28th September 2016  10pm (US) on FX.

Katherine Kelly Is A Fan Of Doctor Who

In a Snapchat livestream for Class, Katherine Kelly revealed today that she is a fan of Doctor Who.

‘I see Doctor Who as a National Treasure’ – She said. ‘Whilst I wasn’t watching it every week, I absolutely would class myself as a fan of the show,’

I find it so cool that these stars of film and television are a part of the same fanbase as me. The Whovian fan base includes other notable names such as comedian Stephen Fry, Professor Dumbledore actor Michael Gambon and Tony Stark himself Robert Downey Jnr. The current head of the monarch Queen Elizabeth II was said to have ordered a DVD copy of Doctor Who: Series 7 in 2013.

Class begins with a double bill of episodes on Saturday 22nd October, whilst Doctor Who will return this Christmas on BBC1.
