Legacies pulls in several familiar faces from The Originals as Hope’s (Danielle Rose Russell) family makes a concerted effort to reach her humanity. Rebekah (Claire Holt), Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic), and Freya (Riley Voelkel) are all brought back as is the Michaelson family home in New Orleans where the distribution of her father’s ashes becomes the key to giving Hope’s humanity a fighting chance at retaking her body. Fans of The Originals should enjoy the reunions, although I was half-expecting them to find a way to work in the characters who didn’t make it through the show in one form or another. While the episode ends with her humanity restored, her darker self isn’t gone completely suggesting a new status quo for the character moving forward.

  • Title: Knock Knock
  • IMDb: link

2015’s Knock Knock fits into the subgenre of male fantasy gone wrong having some similarities to 2006’s Hard Candy. The set-up, which could only occur on film, involves an architect (Keanu Reeves) being visited by two beautiful stranded bisexual nymphomaniacs (Ana de Armas and Lorenza Izzo) on the rainy night his wife (Ignacia Allamand) and children (Dan Baily and Megan Baily) have left for warmer climates. It’s not long before the the two young woman lose their clothing and begin making increasingly obvious advances to their host.

The first half-hour sets the scene with the pair working a little too hard to seduce the family man, while stealing glances letting us know more is a foot which becomes suddenly evident to Evan the morning after when the pair announce they have no plans on leaving and the mind games take darker and darker (and more ridiculous) turns.

The Rocketeer: The Great Race #1

/ / Comics

After getting shot down by some Nazi spies, Cliff Secord has decided to retire the Rocketeer. But what’s a pilot turned part-time hero to do to make a living? And then comes the opportunity almost to good to be true.

The Rocketeer: The Great Race #1 introduces Cliff to a local millionaire who wants Cliff to fly his prototype plane in a winner-take-all race from California to France. Despite the dangerous of such a journey, even Betty is onboard. After all, it is safer than getting shot down by Nazis. However, trouble looms for our hero just on the horizon.

Since it feels like Cliff might be out of costume for some or even most of this four-issue mini-series, we get some early panels of the Rocketeer in action before the larger story kicks off. Next, on to the Great Race.
