The Hitman (Chuck Norris Movie)

 With the unfortunate death of the great Chuck Norris, Chad and I have been on a Chuck Norris kick and we have been reliving some of his great movies. Today's film was the 1991 classic called the Hitman.

The Hitman is a Canadian-American action that again stars the late, great Chuck Norris as well as directed by his brother Aaron Norris and written by Don Carmody, Robert Geoffrion and Galen Thompson. This movie was also distributed by the now defunct company called Cannon Pictures.

The story follows Seattle cop Cliff Garret (Chuck Norris) who was severely wounded during a drug bust gone awry after being betrayed by his corrupt partner Ronny "Del" Delany.

He soon awakened and was given a brand new identity and Garret becomes a "Hitman" for Mob Boss Marco Luganni. But soon, Garret discovers his old partner is around and it becomes a personal vendetta.

The Hitman was considered as a box office success when it originally came out to the masses and watching the movie myself, I can see why it was successful.

What I loved most about the film was the dynamic between Norris' character Garret and Salim Grant's character Tim Murphy, a young child who was being bullied by the local kids. I always loved how Chuck would also have moments like help teaching kids martial arts as well as discipline and respect for one another and that came out and shine during this movie. Plus I just enjoyed how he just straight up knocked the daylights out of the abusive father lol.

I also like the performance of Michael Parks who played the main villain in the film, Garret's former partner Delany. I thought Parks did an amazing job as being such a straight up evil person and constantly had people guessing what he was going to do. Just when the characters thought they had him figured out, he quickly betray them and had them killed.

The pacing of movie I thought was well done, I mean this film certainly build up to the ending where most of the action really kicks it into a new gear especially at the end.

If you guys want to see it, go check it out on Tubi.

RIP Chuck Norris!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Congrats To Trent Hidlay! (World Champion)

 Although, it has become common knowledge, by many of us who live in Mifflin County. But former Huskies' great Trent Hidlay pulled off an incredible comeback and became the 2025 World Wrestling Champion in Croatia at 92 kg. After being down 10-2, Hidlay powered his way back to defeat Amanula Gadzhimagomedov 13-10 to win the World's Gold Medal. This is such an inspirational story that needs to be told because stuff like this does not happen very often, especially in a small community like Mifflin County.  To me, the story of Trent is all about never giving up and continuing to push forward as well as hard work and dedication. What this young man has done is truly remarkable. I have been covering local sports for over ten years now and seeing where Trent has started to where he is now really puts a smile on my face. I mean this kid has won two State championships when he was in High School before moving on to Division 1 college wrestling at NC State. While there, Trent was a fou...

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...

Mother's Day Experience: Interview With Madeline Tressler

Hello again everybody! I have returned with another fun interview with mothers who are sharing their experiences as a mom as we prepare for Mother's Day. Today! I got to interview someone who it feels like I have known for some time now. Her name Madeline Tressler and she is the mother of three wonderful children. Hope you all enjoy the interview! JY: Was being mom something that you have always wanted to do? ML: Honestly, I did not contemplate it very much growing up. However, when I did become a mother, it quickly turned into the most meaningful part of my life. JY: What was going through your head when you were told that you were becoming a mother? ML: I had my first child when I was 22, so I was quite young and naive! Naturally, like most first time parents, I was very nervous and apprehensive. No matter how many baby books you read or how much advice you hear from others, nothing quite prepares you for becoming a parent. But most of all, I felt very fortunate to be blessed wit...
