The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club is a film directed and written by John Hughes. Its about 5 high school kids all from different worlds but end up in Saturday morning detention with each other. There is the athlete, the princess, the nerd, the bad ass, and the wierdo. The film has a very mellow feel to it just like all the rest of John Hughes films. As I watched the movie it seemed as though that's how it would have played out in real life. Nothing too extreme actually occurs. It delves into the make-up of people's family life, friendships, romantic relationships, and perceptions of their world in high school. It shows that people can always relate to one another in some way. AND who doesn't love a Brat Pack movie?

Which one of the characters did you relate to the most?

Big Trouble in Little China

What else can we say about Kurt Russell in this whacked out classic. Ok. I'm going to recite what I remember about this movie from 6 times I saw it on TNT at 1:00 a.m. in 1998 (correct me if I'm wrong). Kurt Russell plays a truck driver that stumbles upon some demon/evil doing clan. The leader of the evil doers is more awkward than scary. Kim Cattrall plays the damsel in distress. Kurt meets up with martial arts specialists that help him save Kim Cattrall and defeat the magic evil doing clan. Now I know this is a really messed up explanation of the movie but anybody who saw it knows that's exactly what happened. Watch the trailer then rent the movie, actually just stay up on Friday night and the movie will find you.



I wonder how popular it was when it first came out because as stated earlier it was hot stuff on TNT in 1998.

Back to the Future

Back to the Future is one of the greatest movies ever made. I contains time travel, a crazy scientist and a cocky high school kid. Ok so those aren't the factors that determine a great movie, but the movie still contains all three of the previously mentioned. Micheal J. Fox portrays a high school kid that travels back in time to the days of when his parents were in high school. I think we all know the rest. Short trivia. Who was originally caste to play Marty McFly? Eric Stoltz!!!! Yeah, who is Eric Stoltz ? This movie never gets old and for that reason tnt and tbs play it every weekend. Is I, II, or III better?

Clarssa Explains it All

Here's the intro. It is very 90's. That's all there is to it.
Here is a link for the lyrics

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Yes everyone. The day has arrived. We (which apparently only includes me) will will be discussing "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" This was hands down my 2nd most favorite show( "The Wonder Years" is first)!!! HaHa. Anybody who watched this show back in 1992 remembers the clown that would pop up in the intro. AAAHHHHH, where did it come from? It was eventually canceled in 1996 with a comeback from 1999-2000. The show comprised of a group of friends who called themselves The Midnight Society. They would sit around a campfire and every week one of the members would tell a spooky tale. Awesome!!!



Ok, so I'll bring up the arguement of which was better. "Goosebumps" or "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" I say AYAD. It was more authentic. The same kids would come every week so we could get a sense of their personalities and the tales were better. Goosebumps should have stayed on paper.
