At our house we love music. We love good music and not that crappy repetitive baby garbage. Eva is growing up with the tunes of Jack Johnson, Jimmy Buffett and the Bare Naked Ladies to name a few. But she really really enjoys Ellis Paul. So when I heard that my friend Lisa was doing a contest to give away That Baby CD and DVD I had to enter. This is a set of songs from known artists that are great for baby and parents. So no Barney and I Love You, You Love Me for us.
With that simple innocuous question came a world of hurt for David Lightman, Matthew Broderick’s character in the 80s movie WarGames“>Wargames. I can hardly imagine that it has been 25 years since that movie came out. It is now a classic, literally 25 year old is a classic. The movie is going to be back on the Big Screen for one night only, Thursday, July 24th. If you go you are not only going to see the original movie but also interviews with cast and crew, and that means Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. Not only those great features but you will be the first to get a sneak peak at sequel – WarGames: The Dead Code.
I grew up in the 80s and 1985 was the best year ever for movies, in my opinion. For one thing you have Back to the Future, the highest grossing movie of 1985. This was so groundbreaking and innovative, it brought time travel to the masses in a hip and fun way. Spielberg created a world of color, humor and fun that has yet to be duplicated in my opinion. And lets face it even though the Delorean was a failure as a car it is just so dang cool to watch. And what little kid didn’t dream of owning one. This movie above all others from the 80s should get its time to shine back on the big screen. Now that would be an event especially if it could be tied to a charitable fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox foundation.
