"Hey you guys!" A line that is possibly the most recognizable and quoted movie line ever heard, The Goonies is all about adventure and excitement in a family friendly romp. A natural classic that bewilders the minds of those who love it, and hardly ever not liked (although there are some out there who don't seem to like it as much, but to each their own).

On the same page, if a person were to look at that same picture with some form of music playing in the background, they might find that not only are those words changing more freely, but also that the picture is starting to generate feelings within the viewer that might not be found otherwise.

You may not have some cute space-dog to guide you like the wind, but stay with me and find out.
Read MoreWillow is one of these grandiose movies, the original "Lord of the Rings" spirit of movies (albeit one told in much less time) with plenty of heart, adventure, and daring. Clocking in at 126 minutes (roughly two hours), it weaves a wonderful tale full of interesting characters, diverse locations, and magic. Stay with me, and let me take you on an adventure through the movie that is Willow!
Read MoreSince times long forgotten, things have been better when combined - peanut butter and jelly, ham and turkey, sunny days and beaches - and movies, comics, and games have even been known to launch titles that crossover between them. Sometimes, we find out that even when we add two great things together, they come out less spectacular then we originally thought. Alien vs Predator has been around for quite some time (since 1989) and has notably done quite well in many of its comic, video game, and novel forms when Paul W.S. Anderson got the idea that it should in fact be time to combine these two great things (now having spanned to successful series of movies singularly) into one wonderful sandwich of awesome.
