  • Kentucky Reignman avoids typical rap, hip hop elements

    Elizabethtown resident Richie Gergely is a hip-hop, rap and soul artist.

    But he prefers to emphasize the soul element to his music unlike typical hip-hop and rap subjects.

    “It doesn’t have to be about drugs and guns and violence,” he said.

    Still, Gergely’s music includes explicit language, and some of it, he said, is the “hardcore stuff.”

    Recording under the name Kentucky Reignman, Gergely uses beats provided by producers from around the globe, including Fargo, N.D., Italy and the United Kingdom, he said.

  • 'Super 8' doesn't have the magic of previous Spielberg films.

    Since the very first mysterious trailer for “Super 8” hit theaters there was a buzz surrounding the Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams (“Lost”) collaboration.

    With this much Hollywood power behind a film, it should knock your socks off. Sadly, it does not.

    What you get instead is a film in which E.T. kicks a lot of butt before phoning home. A slightly scarier version and larger version of E.T., I should say.

  • Dash of Class: B foods

    This week we return to our culinary field trip and the letter of choice is B.

    If you are accustomed to only eating a banana on your cereal, you are not utilizing that fruit to its fullest. There are so many wonderful recipes for bananas including banana bread, banana cake, bananas in gelatin — now that’s an old one — and banana pudding, But there are many other ways to use bananas and I have some for you. Included is a Banana Peanut Salad recipe from my sister-in-law. It's a good substitute for the Banana Croquettes.

  • Three's company for the band Three People

    Three People began on a college campus and, because of graduate school, it might end there, too.

    Ramona Sudbeck, Austin Warren and Clay Graham, aka Three People, started their band when the three of them gathered in a small music room at Western Kentucky University their freshman year of college.

    In the small piano room they wrote a three chord song on the piano and enjoyed it so much they decided to write another one and the band grew from there, Graham said.

  • My Kitchen, Your Recipe: Carl Pitts' green pea salad

    By MARY ALICE HOLT

    Carl Pitts comes to The News-Enterprise regularly to bring news releases and calendar items for the Masonic Lodge in Hodgenville. My co-workers and I always look forward to his visits because he cracks us up. He knows more jokes than anyone I’ve ever met.

    He also enjoys good food, and has brought me a couple recipes in the past. I really lucked out recently because he brought a friend, Tom Kasey, with him, and I ended up getting a recipe from each of them. You get Tom’s recipe for chicken tetrazzini next week.

  • 'X-Men: First Class' is a refreshing break from 3-D

    The best thing about “X-Men: First Class” is that no 3-D glasses are necessary. The director, Matthew Vaughn, understands every movie doesn’t work in 3-D. In fact I read he thinks “Avatar” has been the only movie released that really works in 3-D and the rest are, well, I can’t use the word he said, but you get the point.
