Review: Career Opportunities (1991)

Image
This John Hughes story about a rich girl and a geek who get locked in a Target store overnight feels like fantasy on many levels, and the movie is in service of fulfilling as many of these fantasies as possible. What would YOU do if you were placed in a similar situation? The film ticks every box: eating food from the shelves, using the department store as the world's coolest skating rink, and capitalizing on the near-endless library of music that can be found in the stereo section. Dance party! As with most characters from the pen of John Hughes, we have archetypes that bleed outside of the boundaries. Frank Whaley is a geek and a liar, but he's also sweet, and his loneliness is apparent. Jennifer Connelly has perhaps NEVER been more loved by the camera than she is here, and her bombshell qualities are on full display, yet she's also not just one thing.

Movie Reviews: Ready Player One, Supergirl, and Don't You Forget About Me

Image
In this video, we dig into the movie collection to talk about two new releases and one catalog title! Supergirl was just released on Blu-ray from Warner Archive and contains the fan-favorite "International Cut" on Blu-ray as well as an even longer "Director's Cut" in standard definition on a second disc, which is a DVD. Ready Player One was also just released and is an ode to the pop culture of the late seventies and all of the eighties, but we're struggling with how we feel about it. Finally, we dig into a documentary about the films of John Hughes called "Don't You Forget About Me."
