This weekend we have two movies being released. One is a major release and one getting a limited release. The major release is Oblivion. Tom
Cruise stars in this original and groundbreaking film from the director
of "TRON: Legacy" and the producer of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."
On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one
man's confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of
redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.
The limited release film is Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem. From
the singular mind of the horror maestro comes a chilling plunge into a
nightmare world where evil runs in the blood. "The Lords of Salem" tells
the tale of Heidi (Sheri Moon Zombie), a radio station DJ living in
Salem, Massachusetts, who receives a strange wooden box containing a
record, a "gift from the Lords." Heidi listens, and the bizarre sounds
within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of the town's violent
past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the "Lords of Salem" returning for
revenge on modern-day Salem?
Even
though Earth Day is Monday, there will be several events Saturday held
across the metro that are worth noting. City Market will be the site of
the Get Your Green On activities offering people the chance to recycle
electronics. City Market will also be bringing several earth-friendly
businesses to the Market Square. Bridging the Gap will be hosting their
annual "Earth Walk" in City Market Park at 9 a.m. The StoneLion Puppet
Theatre will be presenting their "Puppets for the Planet" throughout the
morning in City Market. In Overland Park, Earth Day Community Recycle
Day & 5k walk and Fun Run will be held at the 68 Inside Sports Field
House from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Powell Garden's Earth Day celebration
begins at 9 a.m. and lessons will be given on green gardening, bee
keeping, and other green seminars. The Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead
is celebrating Earth Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is focusing on
sustainability education.
As far as sports go this weekend you have a few options. The Mavericks
host games four and five of the Central Hockey League Semifinals on
Friday and Saturday. The Mavs look to even up the series on Friday night
and take a lead with a win on Saturday. The team encourages all fans to
wear orange for all playoff games.
If you want to make the hour and a half drive east to Sedalia you can catch the Renegades in CPIFL action. Kansas City battles the Mid-Missouri Outlaws at the Mathewson Exhibition Center.
Kansas Speedway
will be rumbling this weekend as both the NASCAR Camping World Truck
and Sprint Cup Series come to town. On Saturday the tough trucks of the
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series battle it out on the newly
reconfigured surface at Kansas Speedway for the first time on April 20.
Will defending Champion and race winner James Buescher find his way back
to Victory Lane or will one of the new up and coming drivers carve
their name into history and earn their first win in Kansas? Be there to
see it LIVE with tickets starting at $25 for adults and $15 for kids.
Parking is always FREE and coolers are welcome at Kansas Speedway.
On
Sunday the stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series return to Kansas for
round two on the new surface at Kansas Speedway. While Matt Kenseth
became the first winner on the newly reconfigured oval last fall, many
drivers will be back for redemption as the unforgiving asphalt got the
best of them.
Have A Great Weekend
