Charlie's Angels - Terror on Ward One television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. Jill (Farrah Fawcett) and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) go undercover as student nurses at a hospital where several women have been attacked by an unknown assailant dressed in doctor’s scrubs. With Sabrina (Kate Jackson) undercover as a reporter interviewing staff and Bosley (David Doyle) as a patient, the Angels can keep tabs on their three leading suspects: a pill-popping surgeon (Jack Bannon), an ornery patient (Arch Johnson), and the ward’s resident gigolo (Robert Lipton).

Black Cat #11

/ / Comics

Black Cat #11 comic reviewThe comic’s opening arc continues as Black Cat has managed to steal all the pieces for the Randall Gate. Now all that’s missing for Black Fox‘s planned heist of the Thieves Guild is the key to turning the thing on. In a comic that has featured Felicia breaking in to the who’s who of the Marvel Universe, could there be anywhere else to retrieve it but Stark Unlimited?

Despite my having serious doubts about Stark security not being able to recognize Felicia Hardy in a wig, I’ll admit the comic has fun with Felicia playing on Tony Stark’s weakness for both redheads and women who enjoy verbally sparring with him. With the help of a little tech allowing her to temporarily pass for Stark where the building’s automated systems are concerned and a patsy to drag Iron Man’s attention elsewhere, Felicia is able to work her way to the Stark Nanoforge and forge the Dimensional Resonator.

Harley Quinn #73

Harley Quinn #73 comic reviewHarley and Booster sitting in a tree… Sure there’s plenty of other stuff happening in this issue, including Harley Quinn pushed through an emotional meat grinder, but the stand-out panel for me was the comic continuing down the road of possibly of seeing Goldie Quinn become a thing with the hero from the future turning down a quick roll in the hay with an emotionally vulnerable Harley and admitting to deeper feelings for the Joker’s ex.

Continuing the current storyline, Harley’s search into who murdered her friend, and fellow wrestler, Alicia takes some disturbing turns as Harley finds a suicide note from her friend that only brings more pain to the daughter Alicia left behind.

Fantasy Island

Fantasy Island reviewI’ll give some credit to Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island which kept me engaged longer than I expected. The film adapts the 70s television series of the same name into a modern horror film. Like on the show, guests are invited to the island to experience their deepest fantasies, only on this island there’s something far darker lurking under the surface.

The guests who Mr. Roarke (Michael Peña) invites to the island include a woman (Lucy Hale) craving revenge on a childhood bully (Portia Doubleday), a pair of step-brothers (Ryan Hansen and Jimmy O. Yang) looking to live the rich life, a cop (Austin Stowell) who wants to be a soldier, and Maggie Q as a woman looking to rectify her biggest regret.

While far from great, the first-two thirds of the film in which the guests arrive, begin their fantasies, and then see them take dark turns, kept my interest. Then comes the film’s first big twist which awkwardly reestablishes the guests’ connection to each other causing events to start spiraling out of control.
