June 18, 2012 As I walked through Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center toward Marty's Madagascar Tiki Hut to broadcast for the afternoon, I saw a sign advertising the Crack-a-Lackin' Pool Party. Say it with me: CRACK - A - LACKIN'!
June 17, 2012 Why wait till Christmas?
It occurs to me that two movies that would be great for Father's Day will likely never be seen on Father's Day. That's because they're Christmas movies!
June 17, 2012 Julianne Hough is a beautiful, ambitious young actress who appears to have decided to leave country music behind and pursue a career in Hollywood. I can tell by her performance in the miscalculated Rock of Ages that she will one day get there. This film, however, just isn't the springboard.
May 27, 2012 Summer means a lot of things. Heat, humidity, cool movie theaters, what? Yes, the Malco Kids Summer Film Fest is back at the Malco 16 in Owensboro beginning every Tuesday on June 5th.
May 25, 2012 It's unbelievable, but on May 25, 1977, the landscape of movie making would change forever.
May 20, 2012 Owensboro filmmaker, PJ Starks, has released the date for the the 2nd Annual River City Festival of Films.
April 24, 2012 When last I spoke to Owensboro filmmaker PJ Starks, he was looking for a creepy house he could use for his new film, "My Horror Project."
April 22, 2012 If you see a guy walking down your street just staring at houses and perhaps being tailed by a group of people who might have cameras, well, not to worry. That could very well just be Owensboro filmmaker PJ Starks. He's scouting locations for a new film he plans to start shooting this summer.
April 13, 2012 I enjoy a good book. But I don't read a lot. Doesn't make sense, does it? Well, I have to clear out my head completely to get into a book. No distractions of any kind. And if the book grabs me immediately, then that problem is taken care of. Great example: Stephen King's "The Stand." It's the best book ever. Good example: Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games." I'm halfway through it.
The Three Stooges movie is here tomorrow April 13th. I'm sure it will be a slap in the face, eye poking good time! I've seen several different trailers for the movie I think it looks pretty funny and the actors sound & look some what like the original stooges. I'm going to see it, will you?
April 10, 2012 Right now, I'm thinking of Tim McGraw's big hit "Back When" and how it needs to include the line "...back when a phone was a phone..." Time was, if the phone rang and you weren't home...well, you weren't home. And the interested party had to try back later. We've come a long way, baby.
April 4, 2012 The biggest film of 1997 is hitting theatres again today. And this time, Titanic will be shown in 3D. I wasn't necessarily interested in the seeing the movie again. I liked it an all the first time, but I don't normally devote 3 hours and 17 minutes to the same thing twice. But, recently, after visiting Titanic Pigeon Forge, I completely changed my tune. After boarding the Titanic and experiencing its wonder myself, I can't wait to step into the theatre and relive one of the greatest tragedies of modern times. Titanic may have hit an iceberg and sunk in the early morning hours of April 15th, 1912, but the ship, her spirit and the memory of her passengers are alive and well. And, I want to take time to honor one of them here at WBKR.com. His name is Alfred Pugh. And, when I visited Titanic a couple of weeks ago, I came to know Alfred very well.
