Power Rangers: The Movie (1995 Film)

 You want to talk about leaving an impact on an entire generation, at least that is just my humble opinion which was the Power Rangers. Holy crap did I ever loved that show, so when me and my twin brother Chad found out that there was going to be a movie, you bet that we were going to see it.

June 30th, 1995, officially thirty years ago was the debut of this classic. God only knows how often we would annoy our parents to let us watch this movie. Forget me mother and father lol. From the time when it hit the theaters, to the multiple times we would rent it out of our local video store, this movie continues to have an impact on my life.

The Power Rangers Movie was AWESOME! I mean this was the basically the biggest movie of the 90s in my eyes, especially being a five year old at the time.

This film was released in-between seasons two and three although season three had a completely different setting than the movie.

The plot of the film follows the Rangers as they must stop a being known as Ivan Ooze who ruled the Earth over 6000 years ago before being locked in a hyper-locked chamber by Zordon and a group of young warriors. Unfortunately, the chamber was accidentally discovered by a construction crew and they must return it before it releases him. Sadly, Ivan escapes and takes away the Rangers' powers 🤯 and the Rangers must go to a distance to receive the Great Power and stop Ooze's plan of world domination.

Looking back on this film, it still holds up in my humble opinion. The fight scenes were so much fun to watch and getting to see the cast again brought back so many more memories. 

Of course, one of my favorite things about the movie was the soundtrack which was truly amazing. It basically introduced me to one my personal favorite bands ever in the form of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as Buckethead, Devo, Dan Hartman, Snap!, Graeme Revell, etc. The Power Rangers theme was incredible.

Here is the Cast:

Jason David Frank as Tommy Oliver/White Ranger (RIP)

Karan Ashley as Aisha Campbell/Yellow Ranger

Johnny Yong Bosch as Adam Park/Black Ranger

Steve Cardenas as Rocky DeSanto/Red Ranger

Amy Jo Johnson as Kimberly Hart/Pink Ranger

Julia Cortez as Rita Repulsa (Barbara Goodson as voice) 

Jamie Croft as Fred Kelman

Peter Mochrie as Mr. Kelman

Paul Goddard and Robert Simper as Construction workers

Ritchie Singer as MC

This is one of those moments where I can honestly say, that I truly miss this time of my life. I am forever grateful for this movie man, it really brought out a lot of imagination for me and my brothers. It was a time of innocents and honestly, I wish there were movies like this nowadays. You know, movies that are filled with inspiration and hope and friendship. Maybe one day, we can all share those special moments together again soon. That's what made Power Rangers so special to me and I can not thank the cast and crew enough for making this incredible film that still touches my heart to this very day.

Happy 30th Power Rangers Movie!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

Image
 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...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
