Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990 Film)

 Oh boy I love me some Ninja Turtles and in today's post, I am going to be talking about the 1990 classic starring the four lovable Mutant Turtles Leonardo, Michaelangelo Donatello and Raphael as along with their allies, April O'Neil and Casey Jones attempt to rescue their Master Splinter from the hands of the Shredder and the Foot Clan.

35 years later and this movie still is amazing! In fact, several elements from the animated series were used in the film. The suits used for the turtles were created by the Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Sadly, this was one of the last projects that Jim Henson ever did as he tragically passed away after the premiere (Rest In Peace Henson 🙏🙏🙏).

What I found interesting about the film was that it was consider an independent movie at the time and it only had a budget of 13.5 million dollars. But it absolutely smashed at the box office making a grand total of 202 million dollars which made it the highest grossing independent film up to that point in time. It was also ninth grossing film of the year.

I mean, I can see why it made so much money. The movie is awesome! From the voice actors, the people in the suits, the people working behind the scenes, all the way to the soundtrack, everything about this movie was fantastic. You got to really appreciate the effort that people went into making this film.

Looking back, I am extremely grateful to have been able to witness this movie growing up as a kid. In fact, this movie was just the first of three incredible films.

Many people claim that out of three films made, this one was considered the best. Two of those people who say so are the very two people who created the Turtles Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Both have gone on record and said so. And who would argue with that, if anybody would know the Turtles best, it is those two.

If you haven't seen this movie, please do it is one of those once in a lifetime films in my humble opinion. It certainly made me smile as a child. Miss those times.

There even was a reunion panel last year that I recommend everybody go and see.

I love the Ninja Turtles, they will always be a big part of my childhood.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

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...

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. ...
