Goldfinger (James Bond Film)

 Back in 1964, the world was introduced to one of the best James Ford movies ever in my humble opinion and it was Goldfinger. It is crazy to think that this film is 60 years old! 

This movie was based off the book of the same name which was written by the Ian Fleming. The books was originally written all the way back in 1959.

This was the third installment of the James Bond movie franchise and it was on a budget of 3 million dollars, which would be consider a cheap movie nowadays 😄. But holy crap did it ever score big in the box office because it made a grand total of 125 million dollars 😮.

I mean, it really isn't surprising because the movie was amazing! The storyline of the film involves 007 being sent to stop a criminal named Auric Goldfinger who was attempting the contaminate the gold at Fort Knox.

Sean Connery returns as the great James Bond and once again does an incredible job in the this movie. Gert Frobe as the main villain of the story aka Goldfinger was honestly one of my personal favorite villains in James Bond history.

As always, I never get tired of hearing the phrase, Do you expect me to talk? No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die! Never gets old!

Honor Blackman also did an amazing job as the main Bond girl in movie. But also I got to give a lot of love to Harold Sakata who played the silent but deadly Oddjob who can get use his own hat to kill people.

As with many Bond films throughout the years, the movie intro has become such a major part of the franchise and I truly love listening to the title track Goldfinger which was performed by Shirley Bassey who did an incredible job singing it. I still listen to it this very day.

One of the most iconic moments and it still brings me chills is seeing Shirley Eaton who played Jill Masterson was killed and her body was covered in gold.

Again, it really crazy to me because this was 60 years ago! I mean, it just shows the passion and effort that everybody put into this film. From the actors, director, crew, etc, you can really tell of how much energy they put into this film. And the fact that many of us can watch over and over again just shows how much of a classic it is.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everyone! 🙏🙏🙏

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting...

Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
