BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

The Goonies Turns 25 Today- A look Back

The Goonies Turns 25 Today- A look Back

Goonies turns 25 today so I thought I would share with you all why this movie holds a place in my heart..  I have yet to meet someone that doesn't like Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner's The Goonies. This movie was released on June 7th 1985.  It's amazing that after 25 year of watching The Goonies over and over again I still enjoy it every single time! I still get that same feeling of when I was a kid, it totally takes me back to the good ol' days. I've been able to share this movie with my kids, and they love it just as much as I do!

Here are a few reason why we all love Goonies so much:

Sean Astin as Mikey


The 1980s were the zenith, or perhaps the nadir, of "sassy" kids in movies and on TV. Hands on hips, dripping with designer whatnot and Day-Glo fashions, with soundbite-friendly comebacks and bad attitudes. Astin's performance is surprisingly thoughtful and deep—given the wackiness of the plot, Astin's understated performance as the stalwart Mikey gave the film a grounding in realism. These same attributes made Astin a wonderful Sam in the Lord of the Rings trilogy two decades later.

The Truffle Shuffle

Chunk's ritual humiliation is the sort of thing that sticks with people, and in these days of YouTube and inexpensive nonlinear editing systems, it allows for the creation and promulgation of this horrifying remix:



"The Goonies 'R' Good Enough"



The music video—TWO music videos, actually, and it was billed as the first "two-part" video—for the theme to the film is an epic. Cyndi Lauper, most of the cast of the film, various World Wrestling Federation superstars from the era and Steven Spielberg himself appear in this 12-minute tribute to '80s cheese.

Nikolai Volkoff milks a plastic cow for some reason, Andre the Giant appears in a puff of smoke and saves the day in a furry diaper, Cyndi tangles with a giant octopus tentacle, and someone chained Martha Plimpton to a giant cauldron. (Good.) Also, the ladies from the then-unknown Bangles play pirates!


 

Jonathan Ke Quan 



The 1980s were a backward time—it was nearly impossible for an Asian character to be introduced in an American comedy film without a gong going off in the distance. Jonathan Ke Quan's "Data" is a bit of a step forward. Hell, he's the one who corrects an Anglo character's pronunciation ("Dahta" "Dayta!") and how many times did he save the Goonies with his wacky inventions?

Lots, according to this best-of video:



Eight-Bit Immortality

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
