I was watching Pitch Perfect the other night and Skylar Astin’s character, Jesse, was bragging to Anna Kendrick’s character, Beca, about movies with great soundtracks and he mentioned The Breakfast Club. The song, “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds, is awesome, and I love the part in that movie when Judd Nelson triumphantly thrusts his fist up into the air as the credits began to roll. This same song was “mashed up” with another song in Pitch Perfect and was performed by Beca (Anna Kendrick) and the Barden Bellas. I won’t reveal any more details in case you […]
Take Me Back to the 80’s (Movies, that is)
What better way to spend time with your friends and family this summer than to watch some classic movies from the 1980s. Most people my age remember some of the classic movies of our generation, especially the ones from the 80s. Those were some classic movies! Of the some 31,000+ movies that were made between 1980 and 1989, here is a short list of some of my favorites. We had the John Hughes movies, such as The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Some of my other favorite movies include The Princess Bride, Dirty […]
All Grown Up
I often watch movies and think of the actors or actresses, “They are the same age as me.” Then I think about other movies I’ve seen them in and realize that the movie I’m thinking of is 20-something years old… And that makes me feel old. I was watching Argo the other night and was really impressed with Ben Affleck. He has matured as an actor and has become a wonderful director/producer. I remember him as the tough Boston kid who played opposite his best friend, Matt Damon, in the award-winning movie Good Will Hunting. It got me to thinking […]
Movie Remakes I Want to See

Famous Celebrity Siblings
Dakota and Elle Fanning. Jake & Maggie Gyllenhaal. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Chris and Liam Hemsworth. Ben and Casey Affleck. Donnie and Mark Wahlburg. The Wayans brothers. Famous siblings, just to name a few. They have been in some of my favorite movies, and some of them are just nice to look at (thank you, Hemsworth brothers)! Here’s a look at a few of these famous siblings. (All photos are from Pinterest, but I did site the original source, when possible.) John and Joan Cusack have appeared as geeks in Sixteen Candles, Say Anything, Grosse Pointe Blank, and High Fidelity. He has been one of […]
