The circus is coming to town!

I just now noticed that Tom taped his 2025

Halloween costume to my curio cabinet.

He is so sentimental.

My son gave me this little pink skull years

ago. I can’t even remember how long.
He (the skull, not my son) now lives on the
Pirate Shelf in my curio cabinet.

Now, I'm no plumber, but I am betting that

one of those is for hot and one is for cold.
I probably just saved us some dinero.

Chuck Norris Nights at Borden Cinema was G-R-E-A-T!

It was a blast. We started out on Tuesday night with Good

Guys Wear Black (1978). John T. Booker's (Chuck Norris) old Army

buddies are being offed one by one and it is up to him to find

out why and put an end to it. Will he? I think you know.

This movie is even better than I remembered. I rated GGWB
8 out of 10 Silencers on a Revolver.

Next up, on Wednesday night Borden Cinema showed Missing

in Action (1984). Braddock (Chuck Norris) is absolutely positive that

there are still prisoners of war in Vietnam and by hell or highwater

he is going to bring them home... against all odds. This movie was
directed by Joseph Zito who also directed Friday the 13th: The
Final Chapter. That puts a checkmark in the Plus Box. I rated
MIA 8 out of 10 M60 Machine Guns. A Chuck Norris
staple to be certain.

And then? On Thursday night we saw Silent Rage (1982). This is

the Chuck Norris "slasher" movie. Small town sheriff  Dan Stevens
(Chuck Norris) battles a genetically engineered, monstrous man
comparable to Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. He is also having
a love affair. Ooo la la. Silent Rage has some great co-stars as
well: Ron Silver, Steven Keats and the late great William Finley.
There IS one weak point in the movie and that is Deputy Sheriff
Charlie (Stephen Furst). You will know why when you see it.
I love the movie and I rated it 7.5 out of 10 Silver Jumpsuits.

And finally, on Friday night at Borden Cinema, probably my all time
favorite Chuck Norris movie, Lone Wolf McQuade (1983). Chuck plays
J.J. McQuade, a badass Texas Ranger. And he is out to bring down drug
lord Rawley Wilkes played by another of my all time favorites,
David Carradine. No more setup than that is required to make this
a dang good show. The music composed by Francesco De Masi
is reminiscent of a Spaghetti Western and as a matter of fact,
the whole movie has that SW flavor. I rated LWM 10 out of 10
Huge Gun Belt Buckles with Eagles on them.

And that’s a wrap on Chuck Norris Nights at Borden Cinema!
Looking forward to doing it again soon with more favorite films!

We love you Chuck Norris!

Happy BURT GUMMER Day 2026!
