Three O'Clock High is an all-time favorite. It's like somebody set out to make THE stereotypical eighties movie. Budget Matthew Broderick? Check! Bratty little sister? Yes, sir! Nerdy best friend? We got you! And don't get me started on how fantastic Buddy Revelle is. I feel like it's got way better cinematography than it should, and the acting seems surprisingly good to me.

Blind Fury (1989) was my guilty pleasure. 6.3/10 on imdb.

Contains a death scene like Darth Maul's but predating it by 10 years.

Idle Hands is a very late-90s stoner comedy... horror movie. This turns out not to be a winning combination of genres. It works, as both, but the audience is the overlap of a Venn diagram instead of both circles. It's a stoner movie you absolutely should not watch while stoned.

It's also packed with now-recognizable names. Seth Green, Jessica Alba, Vivica Fox, Devon Sawa, Elden Henson.

Absolutely bombed.

Skinamarink. It was truly terrifying for me.

It's a polarizing one for sure. Every review is either 10/10 or 1/10.

I'm firmly in the latter camp, I see the gold and white dress, and I hear Yanny. Mileage may vary.
