Top 6 Teen Comedies of the 80’s
When it comes to movies, there are two things that the early-to-mid-1980s are best known for: slasher films and teen comedies. Here is a list of my favorite teen comedies of the 1980’s.
7- Sixteen Candles (1984)
One of the many collaborations with John Hughes and Molly Ringwald, “Sixteen Candles” [...]
Hard Target
For 20 years Hong Kong director John Woo was the driving force in film on the Pacific Rim. Following the success of The Killer, Woo’s 1989 masterpiece of operatic violence, he made out to Hollywood with his chop-socky. Hard Target. Woo’s American debut took the Belgium-born Jean-Claude Van Damme to new lows of [...]
1. The Shining
Jack Torrance only kills one person yet he is the monster of the film. No one ever questions Wendy, who not only repeatedly hits Jack over the head with a baseball bat, but also lashes after him with a knife, finally leaving him to die of hypothermia. Clearly the so-called “victim” in perpetrates [...]
5 – The Ring (2002)
Considering I didn’t find the original scary, it’s impressive that I was thoroughly creeped out by the nearly shot-for-shot remake.

Bale is known for his mastery of accents and harsh regimens of shedding and gaining weight. The primary examples of this would be seen in such films as The Machinist, Batman Begins and, most recently, Rescue Dawn.

DAVE GIBBONS
This cover stands out as an early example of how the the look and marketing of comics began to change in the 80’s. The cover is simple and effective It gives you just enough to whet your curiosity. But what makes it so great when the reader realizes that the cover [...]
Top Six Vietnam War Films
Hamburger Hill
The most remarkable traits of this realistically detailed chronicle of a crucial, bloody Vietnam War combat is that it steers clear of Stallone’s right-wing machismo in Rambo and of Oliver Stone’s metaphorical meanings (good versus evil) in Platoon.
“Emanuel Levy”
