10 Reasons Why Helen Hunt Is The Real Hero Of The 80s

By Tanya
The movie Girls Just Want To Have Fun was one of those amazing dance movies of the 80s that just made your heart happy. There were so many classic hits and iconic looks that were shown off in the movie, but none were more important than Lynne, the character that Helen Hunt played. Helen Hunt brings to life the amazing enigma that is Lynne. A rebellious teenager who takes innocent little Janey (Sarah Jessica Parker) under her wing and helps her achieve her goals. She is apologetically unique and wonderfully hilarious. Everyone should look up to her, and here are

It Seems Like Kids In Every Generation Had One Of These, Did You?

By Tanya
There are some toys that are passed through the generations as though they are a precious relic that should be treasured forever. The See N' Say is of course one of these toys. They first became popular in the 1960s and have just been remade year after year so kids will always know exactly what the cow says (spoiler, it's moo). They've changed a lot over the years, and each and every one will bring back a special memory to someone. We all had different versions, but they all were perfect. Take a look and see if yours is in

The Trailer For The New Dirty Dancing Movie Is Here And We Are Not Okay

By Tanya
So the new Dirty Dancing is just around the corner and now that the promo is out I am not any less afraid than I was before. Seeing the pictures of the movie made me a little anxious, but now that we get to see everything in motion I am still concerned.  The movie was 100% perfect as it was back in the 80s, but no one can let a good thing go, so they of course are trying to remake it. The cast is a mix of unknowns with some really big name actors so it's kind of

Mannequin Was One Of The Best Movies Of The 80s, But Where Are They Now?

By Tanya
The 1987 classic romantic comedy Mannequin proved that love is enough to perform some pretty impressive magic, at least in a Hollywood movie. The story is a bit bizarre (like all 80s movies) but it's still amazingly wonderful and hilarious even though it makes almost no sense. Gladden EntertainmentTo try to explain the plot is a bit tricky, but I will give it a try. Emmy is a young woman who travels through time. She finally turns up in the body of a mannequin being made by Jonathan. She comes to life when only he is around and they get

Did You Know This Crazy Movie Is Getting A Sequel?

By Tanya
Everyone remembers the odd-ball movie Twins right? Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito play twins who were the result of a genetic experiment but were separated at birth. Their mother didn't even know they were alive. The movie did really well even though it had a very bizarre plot and while it's been almost 30 years they are still planning a sequel. What's the premise of this sequel? Well apparently it is currently called "Triplets". That's right, the two unlikely twins have a third brother and who do they want to play him? Eddie Murphy. There isn't a lot known about

Who Remembers The Outrageous And Insane Plot Of This Amazing Movie?

By Tanya
The 80s made some of the best movies ever. Are they cheesy? Sure. Are they goofy? Of course. But are they amazing in every possible way? Absolutely. The romantic comedies of the 80s were just so wonderfully ridiculous with the most outrageous plots and I love them for it. Overboard was a fantastic movie starring none other than Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Now, the premise was a bit unusual but try to follow along. Goldie Hawn plays a rich woman who is rude to contractor, Kurt Russell, and refuses to pay him. She is unbelievably privileged, I mean, she

Grease Stars Reunite On Stage, And It Was Electrifying

By Tanya
There are some movies that will just live on forever, and Grease is most definitely in that category. The John Travolta and Olivia Newton John musical about teenagers in the 50s is just the quintessential high school movie and probably will never be topped.Its been nearly 40 years since Grease came out, but the cast is still pretty close. At the DVD release party back in 2002, Olivia Newton John was having performing when she decided to invite her good buddy John Travolta up on stage to sing with her. Clearly they still know all the words to their
