Let’s talk tv.

I think IZombie from the CW will be the first to die.  If not then one of the first.  Frankly I don’t even know how it was even considered.  I mean seriously, a med student is turned into a zombie so she works for a corner to fill her ‘brain craze’ and when she eats the brain she becomes ‘physic’ by getting the persons’s memories.  See even ‘on paper’ it sounds stupid.  And isn’t the ‘Zombie craze’ over?  I thought witches were the new thing.

I have mixed feelings over ABC’s new show Marvel’s Agent Carter arriving this fall.  I think it was a nice touch they got Captain America's Hayley Atwell to reprise her roll, but I don’t know if I much care for watching Peggy trying to navigate life as a single woman in America after WWII (still traumatized the love of her life, Captain America is ‘dead’) while doing double duty for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve) in administrative work and secret missions for Howard Stark.  (The later might prove more fun to watch.) I anticipated Marvel’s The Sheild (glad they brought in Clark Gregg to prerise his Phil Coulson role) and after the pilot I didn’t even want to watch anymore. –Yet I have EVERY SINGLE Marvel movie from the set.

I really liked when Resurrection was on and was so happy to hear that they're filming a season two!

So pissed a covert affairs.  I liked Auggie and Annie as friends.  And what’s with the agency?  They wouldn’t let her have Ben (from season 1) but they will let her have her handiler?  How is that policy ethical?

I like this show but I think I missed a few episodes because this season I am not understanding what happen between Augie and Annie did they have a relationship how many episodes did I miss in the last season.  I would like to see them and maybe I can understand whats going on Now. I have three of the new ones on DVR but I want to see part of last season first.

So I was watching Sleep Hollow Season 2’s premier (spoiler alert).  It started off just where I thought it would, Ichabod trapped in the unmarked grave.  But then a split second later Abby’s giving him a cupcake with a candle on it.  For the next ten minutes I was so confused because it just jumped to Abby and Ichabod going to the library and uncovering Ben Franklin’s notes on a key.  I didn’t quite mind that the flash backs this season are about Icabood working for Ben Franklin though I don’t quite understand how they fit when Icabood died in the revolution but I get it advances the plot.  Anyway those first ten minutes kind of summerized that a year went by and that both Jenna and Katrina were dead both killed by the headless horsemen.  When I was finally willing to accept that they turned around and Ichabod came to the realization that those ten minutes were just a hallucination.  I have to say that it was well worth the summer wait and I’m glad they didn’t leave Ichabod in the grave and Abby in Limbo for more than the one episode.

Speaking of Sleepy Hollow I hope the priest is wrong.  I really don’t want, when all is said and done at the end of the series it doesn’t end with Abby and Ichabod dying. 

[MichelleHW101]

I hope Ichabod from Sleepy Hollow doesn’t get used to the modern stuff.  I mean it’s nice that once he learns how to use something he doesn’t need to constantly be taught how but I like the idea of him having meet modern stuff he is unfamiliar with and has to learn it (like with the shower or tv) or get annoyed by it (like with the plastic or price of coffee.)

Watched Now You See Me and I have to say that it was surprisingly enjoyable.  Morgan Freeman against Michael Cane was like a match made in heaven.  Jesse Eisenberg was delightfully wonderful as J. Daniel Atlas and Mark Ruffalo as Dylan Rhodes/(Spoiler Alert) the mysterious Benefactor to ‘The four Hourseman’ as well as their initiator into ‘The Eye’.  Honestly, I never saw it coming that Rhodes was the mysterious benefactor nor that it was actually a story of revenge since Rhodes was actually Lionel Shrike's son.  Shrike being an ‘Eye’ member whom died decades ago when Thaddeus Bradley (Freeman) exposed his tricks and ruined him, and Shrike hastily attempted a stunt to rebuild his career, escaping from a safe dropped into a river, only to die when the stunt went wrong because the safe warped when it hit the water.  That safe was built by Arthur Tressler (Caine) who ‘thought’ he was the Horsemen’s benefactor.  With everything wrapped up together so well it was amazing to witness such a well written script—especially in this day and age of remakes, redoes and sequels.

Watched Miracle of the bells with Fred MacMurray, Alida Valli, Frank Sinatra, and Lee J. Cobb.  It is a sad movie but a very moving one.  I just found it odd at the end that while everyone was willing to believe the statues of St. Michael and the Virgin Mary slowly turning on their pedestals until they face Olga's coffin was a miracle, Father Paul (Sinatra) was not.  Even Marcus Harris (Cobb) was willing to conceded and release Joan of Arch (which Olga died upon completion) once he heard the statues move.  But then churches are always skeptical and quick to knock down anything that might be a miracle.  I’ve personally learned, as is the case with the fiction movie, that not necessarily is the miracle in what happens but when it happens.

I’ve been watching the 10th Kingdom.  It is awesome!  Especially for a fantasy lover like me.  Now you have to remember this is pre-Once upon a time so while the plot of Snow White’s grandson being turned into a dog and being saved by a wolf/man and New Yorkers from the 10th kingdom arriving via Magic Mirror might be corny, it certainly was original for its time.   

[MichelleHW101]

Speaking of the 10th kingdom, while the plot might be corny, the cameo of actors, all scene stealers when on screen drives the mini series into the must see list for fantasy lovers.

[MichelleHW101]

I just love Rutger Hauer as the Huntsman in the 10th kingdom. He says very little but has such a commanding presents when he is on screen.  And I love that magical crossbow he uses.  It’s a tip to his LadyHawke days.  Even the head of the cross bow is a hawk.

I don't think I've ever seen it.  Of course I don't watch a whole lot of tv, usually have it on mainly for the background noise lol

[MichelleHW101]

I love Warwick Davis as Acorn in the 10th Kingdom.  So which he was in there longer.  It’s so cute in the scene where he’s looking at himself in the mirror then turns his face to the non-scared side.

[MichelleHW101]

I have to say that in the 10th Kingdom Scott Cohen does a much better job as a wolf, than Daniel Lapaine does as a dog.  Not that Lapaine does an awful job being a dog trapped in man’s body.  I’m just more impressed with Cohen’s acting abilities being an animal than I am with Lapaine’s.
