Lost and Found: Private Resort

In which we visit the raucous Private Resort for one last fling before summer ends. Teen sex comedy Private Resort (1985) was a late eighties cable television staple, which explains why I watched it approximately one-hundred times during those years. Those years, by the way, coincided with my junior high school years, and rarely has … Continue reading Lost and Found: Private Resort →

Survivor: Dona Speir, Queen of Bullets, Bombs, and Babes

If you’re a certain type of B-movie lover, the name Andy Sidaris is synonymous with a series of sexy action films he made from 1985–1998, often referred to as a collective by the appropriately saucy sobriquet, “Bullets, Bombs, and Babes.” For years before his foray into making B-movies though, Sidaris was a legend in sports … Continue reading Survivor: Dona Speir, Queen of Bullets, Bombs, and Babes →

Don’t Mess with My Comfort Films

Recently, I fell down an internet rabbit hole about one of my favorite movies, Jonathan Demme’s Married to the Mob (1988).

With July 4th having come around again recently, I was reminded of one of Michelle Pfeiffer’s more forgotten films, Sweet Liberty (1986). Written and directed by the great Alan Alda, Sweet Liberty Is best described as a middle-age/midlife crisis film. Alda plays college history professor Michael Burgess, whose historical novel about the American Revolution is … Continue reading Have a Little Faith →

Michelle Monday

While I would normally advise against covering up Michelle Pfeiffer’s mesmerizing baby blues, there’s no denying she looked pretty rad in these sunglasses, which she wore as Elvira Hancock in Scarface (1983). Michelle looks positively delectable in this glamorous ensemble. If the white jacket/slit-skirt combo is the sundae, then the shades are the cherry on … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Michelle Monday

Grease 2 (1982) turned forty-three back on June 11. To celebrate (a little late, I know), here’s Michelle in all of her majestic resplendence as Stephanie Zinone, a character I just adore. Michelle’s charisma in in the role is off the charts! Guh! She so freakin’ dreamy.
