As far as cinema is concerned, 2008 has been lackluster at best.
That was until “Iron Man,” starring Robert Downey Jr. as the metal-clad superhero, came along last week grossing more than $100 million in its opening weekend, kicking the summer movie season off with a bang.
“More importantly, this has been the first really good quality mass film that’s been out there,” says Bob Shultz, KQ2 movie critic.
Treat mom and yourself to an “unexpected gift” Sunday evening when the St. Joseph Community Chorus presents its last concert of the season at the Missouri Western State University Fulkerson Center.
“It will be the end of a great Mother’s Day,” says SJCC artistic director, Frank Thomas.
This is the 26th season for Thomas and the 28th season for the 90-member chorus. The concert, “Unexpected Gifts — Songs from the Heart,” should have something for everyone.
St. Joseph band Injected Element has only been around for a little over a year, but they’ve already managed to accomplish some pretty big things.
The band won first place at Metal Wars 2008 in Kansas City, beating out more than 30 of the Midwest’s best metal groups for the title. They also were nominated as one of the best new bands of 2007 by the Kansas City-based Heavy Frequency Magazine.
Yeah, the past year’s been pretty good for Injected Element.
