Goldeneye 1995 (James Bond Film)

 Last night, I decided to go back and watch some awesome James Bond movies and on the menu for the night, I went and watched Goldeneye which was one of the first Bond films I had ever watched. Crazy to think that this movie is now 30 years old.

Originally this movie came out in 1995 and featured the debut of Pierce Brosnan as the legendary 007 himself, James Bond.

The film follows Bond and fellow MI6 agent Alec Trevelyan, attempt to infiltrate a Soviet Union chemical weapons plant called Arkangel. Sadly, the mission goes a little wrong as Trevelyan is captured and supposedly killed forcing Bond to escape and destroy the site.

Nine years later, the Soviet Union is no more and Bond is now assigned to stopping a group called the Janus Crime Syndicate who has possession of a Nuclear electromagnetic pulse space-based weapon "Goldeneye" from destroying the world.

First off, this movie rules. Second, Brosnan did a fantastic job playing the role of James Bond. In my humble opinion, he was the perfect combination of toughness and the ability to fight the bad guys. But also the gentleman/charming ladies man that sweeps women off their feet.

Sean Bean as Trevelyan did (Spoiler Alert) an amazing job playing the main villain of the movie plotting revenge against the British government after losing his parents at a young age. To this very day, many fans of the James Bond series consider him one of the best villains and even the dark inversion to Bond.

Izabella Scorupco and Famke Janssen were incredible Bond girls Natalya Simonova (Scorupco) and Xenia Onatopp (Janssen).

One of my personal favorite moments from the movie was the opening credits. The theme song Goldeneye which was written by Bono and the Edge and was performed the late great Tina Turner (RIP). I can never, ever get tired of listening to this masterpiece of a song. It certainly fits the style that many other James Bond themes did before it.

This film was so much fun to watch and it certainly help bring back James Bond into the mainstream again. Personally I really enjoyed Brosnan as Bond and think you can make the argument that he was the Bond ever. 

This movie was on a budget of 60 million and had a box office of 356.4 million dollars.

Check out this movie

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

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 Dickson

 Recently, I had found out that a family friend of ours named Nick Dickson had a stroke and people have been doing what they can to support him and his family. 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. ...
