Jennifer Esposito Joins NCIS

Jennifer Esposito (Blue Bloods, Spin City) will join Gibbs’ team on NCIS as Special Agent Alexandra “Alex” Quinn. Her character is an experienced NCIS agent who left field work and became an instructor at the Law Enforcement Training Center.

Jennifer Esposito is hired to replace Sarah Clarke (Special Agent Tess Monroe on NCIS) who will not be returning for season 14. Together with the newly hired Wilmer Valderrama (That 70’s show) and Duane Henry (in a recurring role of MI6 Officer Clayton Reeves), who has been made a series regular ahead of season 14, she will aid the misfits that form Gibbs’ team.

Season 14 will be the first season without Michael Weatherly; one of my favorite characters of the show. As in life the show must go on and they have hired several people who could possibly fill the void Michael Weatherly has left behind on the team. Let’s be honest though. Nobody can replace Michael Weatherly as Anthony DiNozzo. He was and is one of kind.

But with so many new additions to Gibbs’ team I am wondering what season 14 has in store for us. And how everything will unfold because the end of season 13 left so many questions for season 14.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go, Go, Power Rangers!! I Mean The Order

Power Rangers fans rejoice! The reunion that has been almost 20 years in the marking is here!! No it’s not the uber gritty Power Rangers film that featured James Van Deer Beek, it’s the original, original (Sorry Tommy!)  Power Rangers starring in a post apocalyptic dystopian society, torn apart by civil war. Think Marvel: Civil War with Power Rangers and you get the idea.

The film features the original Red Ranger (Austin St.John), Blue Ranger (David Yost), Pink Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson) and Black Ranger (Walter Emanual Jones) with several other rangers and comedy relief duo Bulk and Skull even making an appereance. They have all grown up and are kicking ass minus the spandex and sadly the Megazords, although the lack of megazords is a dissapointment the chance to see some of your former childhood heroes beating the **** out of each other is too much to pass up on.

Will it settle the questions we asked ourselves when we were younger? Is the Red Ranger as tough as he thinks? Will the Blue Ranger wipe the smile off his face? Will the Black Ranger go kung-fu on everyone? Here’s a spoiler for you PEOPLE DIE and LOTS OF THEM. What former Power Ranger will stand tall and who will fall in The Order?

Directed by Supergirl choreographer David Wald, The Order is an agency  largely brought in to control a lawless society, where they find several of them ‘going rogue’ and you are faced with the dilemma of do you bring your former friends to justice or are the ones who broke away those fighting for justice?

Sound awsome? YES!! When can we see it, I hear you cry? Well you can’t yet! Noooooooooooooooooooo curse you Skatronixxx, why hype this film if I can’t see it?

It’s because the film is currently seeking backing on crowdfunder site IndieGoGo, atlhough it has reached it’s goal of $100,000 so the dream will become a reality, it will take take time and you can still contribute!

Want to chat with former Red Ranger number 2 Steve Cardenas? You can do it for a cool $75 or chat to the whole cast for $100!

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!! Back the team NOW!!

San Diego Comic Con 2016 Funko Pop Exclusives! Wave 7

Let’s face it, everyone loves Funko Pops, they are this generations version of the Beanie Babies. They are cute, collectible and there seems to be no end to them. I started collecting them for Skatronixxx Jr but stopped after realising that I’d never be able to collect them all. Would I still continue collecting them? Sure if I had the money, but alas I have temporarily put my Funko Pop collection on hold, it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy looking at them though!

There are however hardcore Funko fans out there and  the company knows this, that’s why they are aiming to bombard those lucky people who are going to San Diego Comic Con or SDCC with at least nine waves of exclusive figures.

What’s more having the ‘Funko Limited Edition 2016 Comic Con‘ sticker is a prize possesion for any serious collector and a cool trinket for the causal fan.

On Skatronixxx.com I’ll be bringing you updates about the Funko Pop waves this time it’s time for WAVE SEVEN.

Prepare Yourself For Van Damage!

Jean-Claude Van Damme’s new Kickboxer movie is happening!!

In the age of 80’s franchise reboots (Robocop, 21 Jump Street, A-Team, The Karate Kid, Conan the Barbarian) who isn’t excited for Jean Claude Van Damme to make his return? Granted, not every shot at a reboot is a home run but it’s still fun to relive your youth for at least a fleeting moment.

“Kickboxer: Vengeance” is  practically a straight remake of the 1989 film. This time around Van Damme will be playing the wise sensei role, this time named Master Durand. while stunt performer Alain Moussi (X-Men DOFP, Pacific Rim, Warcraft) playing martial artist, Kurt Sloane, who travels to Thailand to avenge his brother’s death at the hands of  Tong Po (Dave Bautista).

The reboot also stars Gina Carano (Fast & Furious 6, Deadpool) as Marcia and Darren Shahlavi (300, Watchmen) as Eric Sloane in his final film appearance before his untimely death at age 42 due to Atherosclerosis. Kickboxer: Vengeance is set to be released in theaters on August 19, 2016, 27 years after the original made JCVD a star. WOO!!

Matt Smith Regenerating As Doctor Who??

It has been hinted by Steven Moffat that Matt Smith could be the first to regenerate as  Doctor Who and returning to his beloved Tardis.He would be the first of the 13th Doctors (yes, I count the War Doctor (played by John Hurt) to regenerate as his former self, which is very  unique and has not been done on the show before.

Matt Smith has been open about his desire to return to the series. Which could be a good thing as Peter Capaldi has been tipped to leave the show after the next series, which would be televised in 2017. My head hurts thinking about the fact if Matt Smith would be the 14th or the 11th Doctor again. Nice discussion to be had by the way. But whoever the 14th Doctor might be (or 11th again) I hope that he or she will do that legacy justice. And that we get to enjoy Doctor Who and his or hers companions for quite some time.

As many of the die-hard fans know Steven Moffat is also leaving Doctor Who at the end of this series after six years. So big changes could be ahead for Doctor Who if all goes as according to plan. Stay tuned for more info as this all unfolds.
