by Cookie N Screen I can’t find anyone who disagrees with this, but kids movies of the 80s and early 90s were amazing. In fact, I don't want to know anyone who disagrees. Because the 80s brought us imagination beyond our years, it shaped our curiosity and family fun films became crucially important and wonderfully enigmatic in this period. I mean, The Goonies, The NeverEnding Story, E.T., Back to the Future and The Princess Bride all encapsulated adventure and fantasy. But nothing ever came close to accomplishing that scientific knowledge, crazy mad-cap inventors, beasts and adventure all in your own back garden. Yes, it’s Honey, I Shrunk The Kids... right in your back garden. by Cookie N Screen If you’ve been on the internet for more than five minutes (insert laugh here), you’ll find that a lot of videos or memes are bouncing around about humanity's reliance of technology. The irony is not lost here. After all, people whose noses are permanently stuck next to the screen are the ones who are re-blogging, ignoring that the advancement of digital items have become a gateway to limitless knowledge, human connection and, despite the rudeness, pulling out several smartphones during dinnertime (do not ever do it!), for the most part, it is great. While many movies depict our reliance on technology to be a bad thing, Her is a poetic love song and a rightful winner of Best Original Screenplay. by Gloria Daniels-Moss It would be easy to place Scarlett into the category of actresses that just get hired because of the way they look. Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, Jolie…the list goes on, yet over the last decade Johansson has proved to us she is much more than just a pretty-faced, sultry-voiced blonde on screen. With the release of Her coming out on DVD on today, we thought it was time to take a look at some of this lovely lady's best work. |
