Back in the ’80s, the movie Valley Girl made girls all over the World want to be Valley Girls. They started to talk like the Moon Zappa song from the film and dress like Deborah Foreman’s character. It also helped to launch the career of some actor named Nicolas Cage. Ever heard of him?
On May 8th, 37 years after the original came out, Orion Pictures is releasing a remake on home video. This time around, Alicia Silverstone tells her daughter all about her rebellious teenage years.
Julie (Jessica Rothe) and her friends leave the Valley for Hollywood. While they are there, she meets bad boy Randy (Josh Whitehouse), and they fall in love. The rest is what most teenage based films in the ’80s were all about. It is the story of dads not wanting their good little daughters dating the bad boys.
There is one big difference with this remake, it is a musical. It will be told through the totally tubular tunes of the ’80s like a-ha’s Take On Me, and The Go-Go’s’ We Got the Beat.
I don’t know about you, but I like so cannot wait to see Valley Girl. The original movie is why I live in the Valley. I have like always like wanted to be one! Totally bitchin’ right? Just like this feature better be! Which it will be.
The movie Little Women took place in 1868, so they didn’t have things like water bottles or Hydro Flasks. However, they made their way into the 2019 film. Now, people are wondering how, and who is the guilty party?
This is the biggest Hollywood scandal since someone left a coffee cup on a table in Game of Thrones.
The guilty people need to be sent to the gallows for their crimes. Damn them all to hell!
Back in 1992, Tony Todd gave us all nightmares as the Candyman. Now, he and the hook are back for a “spiritual sequel” of the classic franchise.
The Jordan Peele take, brings us back to the Chicago Cabrini-Green neighborhood that has been gentrified for the new era. While the area might look all nice and new, they are still haunted by the old, scary legend that is known as Candyman.
Visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) has just moved into the area, and someone tells about the ghost story that has terrorized the area for as long as anyone can remember. He decides to bring the urban legend back to life with his art, and it has deadly consequences. Will he be able to stop the Candyman before someone else says his name five times into a mirror.
We will find out on June 12th. I am a huge fan of the Candyman franchise, and at first, I was hesitant about this version. Then after watching the trailer and seeing that Tony Todd is going to be in it as Daniel Robitaille , I am excited to watch it. It looks more like a horror movie from the 20th century than the over CGIed ones we have been getting in this one. Those are so fake, I don’t know how people get scared over them.
After 30 years of waiting for a Ghostbusters sequel, we are just seven months away from getting one. Today, Sony released a teaser trailer for the reboot, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. While we got to see the Ecto-1, we did not get to see Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson or Slimer. Let’s be honest, that is who we really wanted to see. I mean, who ya gonna call? The new actors or the Ghostbusters?
While we did not see them in this trailer, I am sure we see plenty of them before the film’s July 10th release. Otherwise, we won’t be calling Ghostbusters, we will be calling Sony and complaining.
Remember when Paris Hilton was the hottest thing out there? Then she was replaced by the Kardashians? Well, Reality Queen is a movie that imagines what it was like for her when she started to decline and the three sisters took over her reign.
The film is described as, “Writer-director Steven Jay Bernheim’s clever mockumentary fixes on a Paris Hilton-esque heiress named London (newcomer Julia Faye West) who is struggling to regain fame after being pushed out of the limelight by three Kardashian-type sisters named The Kims. London’s life is a self-indulgent maelstrom of product endorsements, talent managers, pet psychics, private jets, fashion shows, yachts, and a celebrity posse. Despite her wackiness, she ultimately makes it back to the top of the heap. This parody of America’s infatuation with fame raises the question: are these celebs-for-no-reason marketing geniuses, or are they just the accidental beneficiaries of the American public’s stupidity?”
I describe it as “that’s hot.” It is the spoof we have been waiting over a decade for, so it makes sense it will be the first comedy to come out in the new decade. Mark your calendars because you are not going to want to miss it when it comes out on January 10th in select theaters, home video, and digital.
