A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge

Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton-Come back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean) moves with his family into the Elm Street House. Almost immediately Freddy Kruger shows up in his nightmares. But this time Freddy Kruger (Robert Englund A Nightmare on Elm Street) haunts more than his dreams. He wants to possess Jesse and take his revenge.

Though obviously in the pre-stages of Freddy possession, everyone, including Jesse's family, just thinks he's weird or on drugs. Gnarly things keep happening such as a bird exploding in the living room, ungodly heat creating glistening shirtless scenes, and kitchen appliances flashing up spontaneously combustion. No, nothing wrong here, it's just Jesse being weird.

Lisa Webber (Kim Meyers) is totally hot for Jesse. But she knows he's slow to pick up on her advances and totally stalks him until he finally acknowledges the love connection. However, she sees that he's not only shy, but he's got some baggage. However, Lisa's not scared, she's on a mission.

Will love win. Will Lisa get inside the heart of man who's body is possessed by a child killer? Find out in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge Rated R

Also starring Robert Rustler (Weird Science), Christie Clark (General Hospital) and many more.

Weekend At Bernie's-1989

Weekend at Bernie's is super gnarly, snarky, caper that should be watched every Saturday to wash away the strains of the working week. Andrew McCarthy (Mannequin, St. Elmo's Fire, Less than Zero, Pretty in Pink) and  Jonathan Silverman (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Give Me a Break) star as underachieving yuppies Larry Wilson and Richard Parker. That is until one fateful Sunday they discover a 2 million dollar mistake and they see their potential meteoric ride to the top. They can't wait until Monday to tell their boss, Bernie Lomax (Terry Kiser).

Bernie seems happy with the revelation and vows to reward the boys with a vacation at his place in New York/Jersey beaches. Well, Bernie has more dastardly plans. Apparently they have discovered some Bernie fraud. Not to be discovered and done in, Bernie reports to his mob cohorts and plans to have the boys killed. Of course some great 80's twists transpire and Bernie ends up on the chopping block for some acts of indiscretion against his mob boss' girl.

The witty wise cracking Wilson and straight laced Parker give this movie some well-deserved depth. The boys think Bernie died of natural causes, the mob think their hit on Bernie went bad, party goers thinks Bernie is just wasted and just plain chilling out. Parker’s love interest Gwen Saunders (Catherine Mary Stewart, Night of the Comet), thinks Parker is nuts as he tries to explain that Bernie is actually dead. It’s mayhem.

The straight panned Bernie is a dead man, but the boy's antics give him appearances of life. Kiser is the winner here playing this character with body language, dead pan facial expression, dead man hijinks, and that water skiing scene. No, this is not a ghost story, but the story of a stone cold dead man.

Weekend at Bernie's is an 80's throw back. Imagine a world of people smoking whenever and wherever they want, suit jackets and ties with shorts, big telephones, French cut bikinis, Champaign, caviar, and coke and you've just conjured an 80s movie.


How will it pan out? You’ll just have to find out by watching Weekend at Bernie's

From the Hip


From the Hip is a fast paced 1987 legal comedy which stars Judd Nelson (Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire) as hotshot lawyer Robin "Stormy" Weathers. He is supported by the lovely Elizabeth Perkins (About Last Night, Big) as the caring, loving, and friend of children Jo Ann.

Stormy is a manipulator. He manipulated his first job out of law school, his first big case and the win of said big case. But he didn't work it alone. He had the cooperation and awesome scamming from his bro's: Don Monahan (Porky's I, II and III) and David Allen Grier.

Suddenly this trickster is over his head as he is assigned a murder case, based on the results of his last scam. Can his quick wit and off the hip moves help Stormy win this case? Will his scruples give him second thoughts?

From the hip is a totally 80's movie with tons of gnarly decade references including the much beloved yuppie movement.

From the hip is rated PG.
