Yesterday as Turkey Day began, another tradition was upheld: for over 100 years the Marblehead Magicians have played Swampscott's Big Blue on Thanksgiving to a massive crowd; but this year it was different. This year they were playing for a spot in the playoffs and the title of NEC Champions. Led by Captains Will Quigley, Oliver Gregory, Honorary Captain Chris Piper and Headlight's Own Sports Editor Joel Katz the Magicians won the game 21-7. The crowd was energized throughout with Quigley's two touchdown runs and quarterback Ian Maag's other touchdown. The marching band played the Star Spangled Banner for the opening with Swampscott's marching band (Marblehead was led by Band Teacher Ken Warren) and were then led by Headlight's own Danny Plunkett for halftime.
Congratulations to the Magicians, NEC Champions!

It appears that the movie season is upon us. It is that special time of year where the Holidays come to theaters. It is the most wonderful time of the year. Since the summer was a dud with special effects that attempted to rewrite story lines, this winter is shaping up to be a lot better.
First off, we have J. Edgar a movie directed by famed director Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino) with actor Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception and Titanic). It tells the story of the first director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover. It will definitely be one to watch.
Then there's Breaking Dawn, the first installment in a long awaited conclusion to Stephanie Meyers epic series Twilight. It is one that fans have been awaiting for years!
There's also Steven Speilberg's two movies: War Horse and The Adventures of Tintin. The first is a story of World War II and a boy's horse (adapted from the Tony award winning play which was adapted from the novel) and then the other is based on the famous graphic novels by Georges Remi and it uses motion captures. Both arrive on Christmas.
Finally, there are some lesser known movies like Illumination's adaption of Dr. Suess's The Lorax and Glenn Close's Albert Nobbs, Michele Williams's My Week with Marylin, Meryl Streep's The Iron Lady, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol starring Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner, and finally Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy starring Gary Oldman and Colin Firth.
It's a season to be jolly, and one that fill my spare time with movies.
