Forbidden Zone, movie (1982)
We each have our favorite cult classic. But, there is one for me that stands as the best one. Nothing for me can match its style or zaniness, be it Buckaroo Banzai or Toxic Avenger. The blending of 80’s new wave with the vintage styles of …

Movie Major Movie Star
I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …

Pledge This movie
