 The Breakfast Club $19.98 On a Saturday morning somewhere in America, five high school students report for detention in a school library. The group includes a jock, a geek, a freak, a princess, and a metalhead loser, with seemingly nothing in common other than the opportunity to be bullied by a hard-nosed assistant principal. In John Hughes' 1985 classic "The Breakfast Club", actors Emilio Estevez (the jock), Anthony Michael Hall (the geek), Ally Sheedy (the freak), Molly Ringwald (the princess), and Judd Nelson (the metalhead loser) will participate in an eight-hour ad hoc encounter session, discover a great deal about themselves and each other, and come out a little older and wiser. Although the way, the audience will be treated to some well-done moments of comedy, drama, and honest teenage angst. Hughes keeps his young and talented cast busy and his dialogue real while respecting his on-screen characters. They may be stereotypes, but they tap a vein for practically anyone who endured high school in the late 20th century. The movie features an exceptional soundtrack. "The Breakfast Club" is very highly recommended to John Hughes fans of any age.  Weird Science $14.99 The Bottom Line: One of those 80s teen films that was never really that good in the first place but people all pretend is a classic, Weird Science is a film designed for 12 year old boys (and I don't mean that pejoratively) who will no doubt find its wish-fulfillment-loaded plot interesting instead of rather juvenile; parts of the movie are cute and made me fondly remember the days where seeing the naked female form and impressing kids in school were numbers 1 and 2 on my priority list, but nostalgia aside the film is rather mediocre. 2.5/4  Ferris Bueller's Day Off Bueller...Bueller... Edition (Special Collector's Edition) $12.98 A must see if you've ever skipped a day of school. Still holds up well today and takes you back to the craziness of high school. |
