Looking for fun stuff to do in the Hub City this summer? From Peter Pan to the funky sounds of Element, Paul Hunton breaks down Hub City Entertainment in this edition of 24 Frames on 89.1

“Top Gun” is making a 5 day tour on IMAX 3D before it is released on blu ray next Tuesday. I didn’t hesitate to go, “Top Gun” has been seen by virtually everyone and 12 year old Paul was a huge fan too! I was 4 when it was released in theaters but I wore out the VHS and the Nintendo game(which was overly difficult). I don’t need to review the film for you, if you haven’t seen it you need too if only for the volleyball scene. The following are my thoughts on how the film has held up, and the goodness of seeing it in the IMAX format.

"Get to the Choppa!"

"It's not a tumor."

"I'll be back."

"Hasta la vista, baby."

"I will destroy California!"

If Arnold Schwarzenegger is known for anything other than bankrupting the state of California, it's for his magnificent delivery of one-liners(that last one was made up by the way).

The best films of 2012. This aired as part of 24 Frames on January 17th. 

  The death of Osama Bin Laden in 2011 was a time of national and self reflection. Staring at the television set, tears welling in my eyes, I didn’t imagine his death would affect me the way it did. I was a college Freshman on September 11th 2001 and I will never forget how vulnerable I felt, and while Bin laden’s death didn’t make me safer, or didn’t actually mean that we won a war, I still felt relieved, that a giant burden had been lifted.
