Earth Girls Are Easy (1988) Original Trailer Julien Temple (The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle) directed this romp about a trio of candy-colored aliens who find excitement and romance when they crash-land in Southern California. It would already be fun based on that alone, but it’s also a) a musical, and b) boasts a cast that includes Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, and Julie “Cause I’m a Blonde” Brown.

Valentine’s Day too. But Thanksgiving? That’s so silly. Or is it?Ernie Hudson | First FandomsWhile every frame of Thanksgiving, which is now in theaters, has the zest of self-awareness sprinkled on top, Roth (who co-wrote and directs) plays things super seriously. It’s like everyone involved was told, “Yes, this idea is dumb, but if…

During the 2010s, audiences watched plenty of CG armies fall, crossovers happen, and superheroes rise to the challenge. But one niche that wasn’t exactly being filled at the time (at least in the West) was the giant robot niche. The closest thing to scratch that itch was Paramount’s Transformers movies, but those didn’t quite hit the same. Spoilers of the Week | June 3rdBecause of how underserved we were in that department, it…

THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE (1976) Theatrical Trailer - Jodie Foster, Martin SheenReleased in 1976, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane came at a busy time for then-child star Jodie Foster, who also appeared in Taxi Driver, Freaky Friday, and Bugsy Malone that same year.
