I regret to inform all of those, and I hope there are a few of you, who were anxiously awaiting my review of Speed Racer, that it didn't happen this weekend.
Golf coverage on Saturday, coupled with my wife's birthday and Mother's day, just didn't give me enough of a window to get it. I still plan on seeing it early this week and telling you what this film nut thinks. I would still like to hear some of your ideas. In the future, you'll be seeing an Entertainment page in the BannerGraphic with original content. Maybe a tiny wire story filler but the majority of the writing will be us. Excited? Scared? Let me know what you think. I'm pretty jazzed about it myself. I feel kind of like when you have too much Kool-Aid on a hot day and you get that twitchy right hand shake. No? Well, it's good stuff kids, good stuff. Also coming this week will be Caine's Classic Corner, where I will be revisiting some of the classics that have impacted the world of cinema. Again, if you have any films you think deserve to get a viewing and comment, toss them my way. I'm always looking for a good flick. Another feature I will be introducing to the blog is the where did my daughter hide my ___? My little one is starting to take Daddy's stuff and put it in her hiding places, which make him a little crazy. My daughter is almost three -- let me know what is the next chapter in the child saga is. Until then…ciao.
Coming soon to a monitor near you Sorry about the delay once again. I've had a lot on my plate lately and I've neglected my poor little blog. This is going to be short but I wanted to let you know what will be coming in the next few weeks. First off, if all goes well you can come back to visit on Sunday evening and a new post with a little review for Speed Racer should be waiting on you. My wife's birthday is this weekend, but I think I'll be able to fit it in...
New favorite memory (Yup, it's Star Wars related) I've been a Star Wars fanatic from a very early age. I was able to see the original trilogy in the theater and have lived through the Saga's downturn in the 80's and its resurrection beginning in the 90's. So when an event happens that takes the top spot for my favorite Star Wars memory of all-time -- it must be huge. Right?...
Blockbusters here I come It looks like May is going to be my month at the movies. Being a Star Wars fan, May has always held a special place in my heart, with the entire Saga being released during this month. My wife's birthday is also in May, which is also a plus. Three of my top four must-see movies are coming out in May, with two coming out on back-to-back Fridays. Curses!...
It was so wizard (That means cool) Sorry about the delay folks, just recovered from my Star Wars hangover. In addition to the movies on Spike, I indulged myself in a little Legacy of the Force. Ah, what a weekend. What made the weekend even better was to learn that the Trilogy drew more viewers than the Rings trilogy. I like the Rings trilogy but to put it head to head with Star Wars was complete madness I tell ya -- MADNESS! I'll take Jedi over Hobbits any day...
Wookie Hooky As I write this, there are 21 hours until the network premiere of the beginning of the Star Wars saga on Spike TV. I will be in the office working when "The Phantom Menace" begins but I've concocted a plan. It's a little something I like to call Wookie Hooky...
The Darkside cometh This is a huge week in geekdom with the network debut of the Star Wars saga on Spike TV and since losing my beloved Star Wars room to the newest member of our household, I need this. I REALLY NEED THIS. I used to be able to pop the door open and stare upon my collection whenever needed and now they're cold and alone in storage. My Millennium Falcon -- taken down. Darth Vader wall -- gone. Even my poster collection has been relocated, so a weekend of Star Wars will do me good...
Goodbye my old friend The deathblow has been dealt. CBS has officially cancelled Jericho for the second time. In a statement, CBS exec Nina Tassler acknowledged the "passionate viewers" and an "engaged and spirited fan base" but still decided to let the series go. They say it wasn't pulling in enough viewers for it to be viable for the network to keep the series going. But what about those fans who were tuning in? Too bad I guess...
The countdown has begun I promised the next time I blogged I would be discussing my new viewing pleasure Dexter but I have to revisit some old ground that is becoming smaller by the minute. My beloved Jericho is down to two episodes and no word yet from CBS on its fate. I can understand why a network would want to cancel a show with a huge fan base and a hit on the Internet. Those pesky viewers -- who needs 'em!...
Respect for the game Over the weekend I had the pleasure to watch two games of the ResCare Basketball Tournament at North Putnam High School. The tournament involved seven teams from around the state including Greencastle's and Anderson's ResCare squads and it was a breath of fresh air...
