The Trip (Movie Trailer of The Week, Mon. April 12th, 2010)
One of the most well-known years in American history in regards to pop culture, political, and social history is the year 1967. That psychedelic year where everyone tripped during that “Summer of Love.” People flocked to San Francisco and did more than put flowers in their hair. The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club…
Happy Birthday To Me (Movie Trailer Of The Week, April 5th, 2010)
Today’s my birthday. So I wondered if there was a Horror film with a birthday theme to it. Looked up movie trailers on YouTube and sure enough, it did not disappoint. This cinematic nasty, Happy Birthday To Me was released in the year 1981. Pope John Paul II had bad luck that year, with two…
Re-Animator (Movie Trailer of The Week, March 29th, 2010)
The 1985 started on a Tuesday, as The Cold Wars continued. The Discovery Channel debuts on cable television. Children and teens played with The Nintendo Entertainment System. On radio we had to hear again…and again…and yet again that annoying charity song “We Are The World.” This was followed by the Live Aid concerts which took…
Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens (Movie Trailer of The Week, March 22, 2010)
The year of 1979. It was the end of one decade, with promises of new on the horizon. American children chowed down on McDonald’s Happy Meals while wearing Underoos underneath their clothing. The golden age of Lego’s began around this time. China began its population control with its One Child Policy that year. Meanwhile, over…
Suburbia (Movie Trailer of The Week, March 15th, 2010)
The year 1984 was anticipated but not as close as it was described in the Orwell novel. (Actually, in the year 2010 we’re more aligned with what Orwell foretold than in 1984 itself) Yet 84 was still an interesting year. The AIDS virus was identified by French Immunologist. The first Apple Macintosh goes on sale,…
Near Dark (Movie Trailer of The Week, March 8th, 2010)
Last night Kathryn Bigelow won two Academy Awards. Not only was she the first woman to win an Oscar, but she also won the coveted prize of Best Picture for 2010. However, before she directed the war drama The Hurt Locker, in 1987 she had directed a little known vampire flick titled Near Dark. I…
Foxes (Movie Trailer of The Week, March 1st, 2010)
Time for another weekly movie trailer of the week. This week, we’ll continue to stay in the year 1980. Back then, Brooke Shields whispered in your ear that nothing came between her and her Calvins. However, on the silver screen, teenagers were doing more than getting close to a pair of jeans. Check out this…
Basket Case (Movie Trailer of The Week, Feb. 15th, 2010)
Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite wishes he could relive the year of 1982. It wasn’t bad year in pop culture history, I suppose. Except for when The Equal Rights Amendment didn’t make enough votes to pass in congress. That kinda sucked as Phyllis Schlafly and the good old Christian right reveled its its defeat. Former…
