90's Teen Love and it's Best, April 11 2012

Ahh, this movies is just pure nostalgia; they weren't the greatest films but they totally captured the era to a tee These guys weren't squeaky but at least you didn't hear about them getting drunk or wasted. They were fun; they were the perfect transition from the 1980's but it seems that w/ Y2K so went the film industry! Let's reinvent not remake and maybe we'll have fun, no brainers like She's All that!

A cute film, devoid of tastlessness like some teen flicks of the past 15-20 years, Jan 13 2012

Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook make for a very entertaining couple in this film. It's one of those kinds of films where someone is put to the challenge of turning the ugly duckling into a stunning beauty. A popular guy of the school takes on a bet that it can be done, and so Rachel Leigh Cook is the subject of transition. For being a guy in my forties, I can still feel a little of a flashback of my high school days since this film continued to be charming in it's portrayal of modern day high school kids, which some movies (like "American Pie" ishh!) chose to entertain the warped teen (problems at home type) psyche that does not interest us all.
And, why any guy could be attracted to, or how any of the other girls of the school could be aspired to, want to be just like that girl Taylor, a self-absorbed, foul mouthed, everyday mattress-back skank. That I will never know. I guess it's good casting to have that less than appealing blonde witch play the foe competing for the prom queen crown.
I am pleased too, that they have just released Drew Barrymore's "Never Been Kissed" on to Blu-Ray as well. These two make for a great double feature on Blu-Ray for me and my wife this weekend. For a triple feature, I could just add "Mean Girls".
Anyway, I hope more of our favorite "high school days" type films finally get released onto Blu-Ray someday soon. I'd still like to get on Blu-Ray: "Pretty in Pink", "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion", "The Revenge of The Nerds", "Weird Science", "Mischief" and perhaps the "Porky's" trilogy.
Well, we'll see, huh?

This Changed MY LIFE!, Jan 3 2012

I must start by admitting that this was the first motion picture i have ever seen. I grew up in a rural amish community and was never allowed any of the royalities of the average american boy. I actually just left my family's farm recently due to my yearning to experience more of the outside world. While father Samuel and I were plowing the west field in the hopes to be done before the days end, we heard a loud crashing noise. We followed the sound until we came across an automobile that had crashed into a tree. Since we did not find anyone around, we took what we could from the vehicle. while father was occupied, i noticed a strange device that was called a blue ray player. after a hearty supper, i snuck out to the barn in the hopes to satisfy my curiosity. after pressing buttons and flipping switches, a light appeared. i then realized that this must be a motion picture. what happened in the next 95 minutes changed me forever. i was so taken in by these people. mr. prinze jr. has to be the biggest hollywood star in the world! immediately after writing this review, i am going to find out how many academy awards this man has because i'm sure its at least 8. and rachel leigh cook is an angel from heaven! she makes my girlfriend Mary Hershberger look like the inside of a pig's rear end. please don't tell her i said that. both of these thespians must be making so many movies because of their unique talents! best motion picture ever! if all movies are half as good as this, then i am in for a real treat! thank you hollywood for giving me this treasure.
