Monster Trucks

It’s no secret that Barack Obama is a total cinephile — last year he and Michelle named their favorite films of 2015 (The Martian and Inside Out, respectively), and a few months ago he even listed his favorite sci-fi movies (mostly the agreed-upon classics). Being the President comes with its fair share of perks, including first access to any new releases he wants to watch. Now we know what was on the list he requested for his swanky White House screening room.

Have you ever seen those movie ads on TV filled with gushing quotes from critics and thought to yourself, “I saw that movie; it was terrible. Where did they find these positive reviews?” If you have, you’re not alone — and you’re going to love ScreenCrush’s newest series, Critics Are Raving!, which balances the cinematic scales with trailers full of slightly more accurate (and slightly more negative) lines from reviews. Real critics. Real quotes. Really bad movies. That’s what’s Critics Are Raving! is all about.

After a neck-and-neck race last weekend, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has officially stepped aside to let Hidden Figures reign supreme. The crowd-pleasing drama about the black female mathematicians who assisted NASA in its early days topped the box office, leading a weekend that was otherwise all about films bursting out of limited release. The bulk of the new releases were not so fortunate.

The Monster Trucks have invaded the Mathewson Exhibition Center and you can still enjoy the fun on Saturday night (March 7). You can see the Monster Trucks, Pro Stadium Tuff Trux and Quad Racing take on the dirt course inside the Mathewson Exhibition Center...

It's that time of the year...time to get your Monster Truck fix!!!  The Monster Truck Racing Super Series returns to the Matthewson Exhibition Center on the Missouri State Fairgrounds March 6 & 7.   Kids can ride in a real monster truck!!!  Plus Tuff...

Your mission if you choose to accept it: save ‘Mission: Impossible 5’ from being trampled by ‘Star Wars: Episode 7’ at the box office. Mission complete. While ‘Mission: Impossible 5’ was originally set to open this Christmas, just one week after the juggernaut that is ‘Star Wars’, Paramount has wisely thought this over and moved the new Ethan Hunt adventure up to this July.

It was freezing cold on Saturday, and there was a threat of bad snow that never came. But either way, there were several brave souls who made sure to show up and see the big Monster Truck Sergeant Smash at America's Car Mart on Saturday (March 1).

Kids, this weekend I got to spend some time out at America's Car Mart.  They do a pretty regular Customer Appreciation Day, and this time was a big event.  Not only did they have great deals on down payments, but they also had some lunch catered in, free T-shirts and monster trucks!

You walk in to the Matthewson Exhibition Center and see dirt covering the arena floor.  It is mounded up in places and the old cars are in place.  The kids are all excited because they see what is in each corner of the floor.  "Shock Therapy," "Ground Pounder," "God, Guts and Glory," and "Nail It," are waiting to roar to life at the Monster Truck Racing Supe
