Many wonderful movies have been filmed in the Hawaiian Islands beginning in 1913... the list includes many favorites: Lilo and Stitch, Waterworld, Flight of the Intruders, Mighty Joe Young, Karate Kid III, Wackiest ship in the army, From Here to Eternity, Blue Hawaii, Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Endless Summer, just to name a few...

Hawaii Five-O....returning for another season...

One of my fav television programs this season is Hawaii Five O.... I've recently heard that CBS has renewed their contract for the 2013-2014  season still to be filmed entirely in the islands. The scenery is great and the acting is good too......happy watching....
