Ever since i left the days of metal and hard rock behind in college, i’ve not really gone into the modern day bands much these days. I do like some of the emo bands, but it’s never the same as the fist in the air sounds of Iron Maiden or Megadeth.

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

The other i was watching the 90’s spoof comedy ‘Not Another Teen Movie’, i couldn’t help noticing the numerous John Hughes references, not least of all with Molly Ringwald appearing in one of the scenes.

In my book, John Hughes is the king of 80’s teen movies, primarily working a select few young stars he loves […]
