Had me a few Stephen King adaptations. The Shining (tv-version), The Stand, It, The Langoliers.
I really wanted to talk about It actually. It's full of MacGyver actors. Though mostly just showing face. There is Sheila Moore (Passages) who plays Eddie's mom. Jay Brazeau (Kill Zone/The Gun) as a cab driver. Frank C. Turner (Halloween Knights, MacGyver's Women, Back From The Dead) as Al Marsh. He plays Bevvie's father and I think has the most screentime of all the Mac-actors. Garry Chalk (Thin Ice, Deadly Dreams, The Ten Percent Solution) plays the coach and Claire Brown (Thin Ice, Legend of the Holy Rose, Serenity, Twenty Questions), now apparently known as Claire Vardiel who plays Ben's mom. Also Victoria Burrows was part of the movie as casting director. The same work she did for MacGyver. Her name is mentioned as the name of one of Pennywise's victims in a drain.
The film was shot in New Westminster in British Columbia. The whole thing actually feels like Blood Brothers. A group of friends growing up during the summer in late 50's/early 60's, facing this monster and promise to come back if It ever comes back to life and they do so 30 years later. Sounds like Mac, Neil, Chuck and Jesse are the kids, the gun is the monster and the promise is the same. You know the actor who plays the adult Bill kinda reminded me of Sean in Blood Brothers. Maybe it's because it was filmed in British Columbia, I don't know, I think it just got this whole Blood Brothers feel. Maybe a good idea to have MacGyver experience his own Stephen King-like story in his youth.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

Now well into the Friday 13th movies. I only miss part 9 and the remake. I saw part 8 last night. It was written and directed by Rob Hedden. I was going like: 'What?' Of course being the 8th movie in the franchise this one is considered one of the worst movies. Despite a few cheesy effects and mostly lightning, the movie itself was alright. It's horror, so what do you expect? Hot teens waiting to be slaughtered. The killings were brutal enough for my taste. By casting Kane Hodder they finally got the Jason they way he should be. It took 'em 6 movies though. Big, strong, crushing, breaking, smashing, pulverizing his victims. Also a few familiar faces like Ken Kirzinger (Ghost Ship/Jerico Games), he would also take over the role in Freddy vs. Jason. I think my biggest surprise was to see Rico from The Challenge and the sniper from Cease Fire together as gangmembers. Also there was dog called Toby in the movie whose real name was actually Ace. I figured it was the same dog used in Kill Zone but the dog has no credit on his name for that. Maybe it was another dog but they looked the same.

I finally got around to watching the Hateful Eight. Thjis new feature by Tarantino is certainly an interesting one albeit rather long. Basic premise without revealing any spoilers... Set several years after the Civil War, a coach is on its way to the town of Red Rock. It's passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive Daisy Domergue. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren, a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix, a southern renegade who claims to be the town's new Sheriff. Losing their lead on an approaching blizzard, the four seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stopover on a mountain pass, where they are greeted by four unfamiliar faces and an unexpected turn of events... As usual, you get the best dialogue featured in any movie and intriguing characters although not all very likable. Hateful Eight is probably not Tarantino's finest but it certainly is high up there. And with a fantastic score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone, makes for an interesting watch that fill the great shoes. 4 stars!
