Clueless

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/20/2020 5:55 AM EDT
I'm sure when Jane Austen wrote Emma over 200 years ago, she never imagined the main character would utter the words, "As if" in order to show her disdain for an idea or a person. However, when a modern-day version of the story was released in theaters back in 1995, that is exactly what the main character, Cher (Alicia Silversto... Read More

Ghost

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/15/2020 10:49 AM EDT
Oh my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch…If you are over the age of forty, chances are you associate those lyrics with one particular scene in a 1990 film called Ghost. The love scene between Sam (Patrick Swayze; Dirty Dancing) and his wife Molly (Demi Moore; G.I. Jane) while sitting at a pottery wheel was loving, sensual, ... Read More

FFFRREEEEDDDOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!! That one word in an iconic scene made Braveheart a memorable movie. Released in 1995, the film earned director and star Mel Gibson (the Lethal Weapon series) two academy awards.

Pretty in Pink

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/16/2020 8:46 AM EDT
If you were a teenager in the 1980s, there is no doubt you were in some way influenced by writer/director John Hughes. He wrote and sometimes directed hit movie after hit movie, dealing with those awkward high school years when one is trying to discover who they are and how they fit into this world. More often than not he tackled... Read More

He was part of a successful television show, Welcome Back, Kotter, and proved he could handle leading man status as Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever and Danny in the film adaptation of the musical, Grease. In 1980, he decided to star in another movie called... Read More

Disney Channel has a long history of creating wonderful movies made for television despite still being considered to be in its relative youth as a channel. Always evolving, they had great success with 2006's High School Musical and its two sequels followed by Camp Rock and its sequel and then Descendants and its sequel (Disney is big on seque...

Forty-five years ago a twenty-six-year-old, up and coming director named Steven Spielberg (E.T.: The Extraterrestrial) took Peter Benchley's novel titled Jaws and made it into a major motion picture. Considered one of the greatest films of all time, it was the highest-grossing movie until the release of Star Wars two years later. A ... Read More

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/29/2020 11:49 AM EDT
Almost thirty years ago, Midway games created Mortal Kombat, a Fantasy fighting game that paid homage to actor Jean-Claude Van Dam (Double Impact). Known for its high level of graphic violence, it not only became one of the highest-grossing gaming franchises of all time but also was the reason for the creation of the video game rating system,...
