One glove! As most would know by now, the 80s king of pop has raised the glove for the very last time today. I don't think there is anybody that isn't shocked and surprised about this news and certainly any 80s fan would be pretty saddened. The dude broke all the records there were to b...

In truth, this probably isnt one of the best movies ever made, but it is an 80s classic. Tom Cruise was riding his wave to mega-fame after Top Gun and could basically do no wrong in terms of box office gold. Top Aussie export Bryan Brown co-stars alongside Cruises Flanagan as they try ...

Heavy law enforcement I must say that I havent seen Robocop for some time. Its one of those 80s movies that looks kinda cheesy and cutesy from the iconic images and themes that always accompany the film, but when you actually see it again, you realise it was rough, gritty and a little har...

Too tough to die John McClane kicked some serious damn ass back in the 80s. I don't know about his latest affair, but when the Nakatomi building was under siege back in 88, you know who took it to the man single handily and won back his wife in the same sweep. As if it wouldnt have bee...

Dark muppets This was one of those awesome 80s kids movies that was dark and deep as hell for the intended age group. We're not talking highschool musical here folks, this was immersing stuff back in the day. When I was a kid, I didn't know whether to be scarred or excited by this thing, eit...

Man about the house Ah, Tony Danza what an actor. Even though he has gone on to greater things (ahem) none of us can forget his 80s sitcom staple Whos the Boss? Obviously, the greatest thing about this show was its effort in introducing Alyssa Milano to the world. Sam, as she was know...

Off with the fairy's If I told you that there was a film starring Tom Cruise called Legend, you could be forgiven in thinking that it was autobiographical However, those who can barely remember this little movie will recall it well. It was always a strange project for Ridley Scott an...

Neo Tokyo For a young white kid living in an 80s Western world, Akira was as weird as hell. When I was told that there was this cool Japanese cartoon that was like an adult action movie with bikes and guns and other futuristic garb, and that it apparently looked close to real life, I was ho...

Love and marriage Ahh, the Bundys. A model family for every thriving family in the western world. Some say it was the bottom of the heap for a huge piling mess of 80s crap that built up in the later decade, or some say it was pure white trash brilliance. Although it did have plenty of ...

Gorilla radio This is one of those films that was really big back in the day, but the sands of time have pretty much swallowed it up. I still vividly remember the commercials with Robin Williams screaming Good morning, Vietnam! before breaking into James Browns I Feel Good. William...

Ongoing mission Amid all of the fanfare of the new movie I thought it was time to go back and look at Star Trek in the 80s. I have never been a Trekkie or Trekker or whatever the hell you guys call yourselves, but I have had a look here and there and I used to watch TNG on a fairly re...

Get ready to jump Before he was the toast of the art-house film world and before he was mega-pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp was Officer Tom Hanson and he was just one part of the crack squad of youth police down at the old Jump St chapel. Yes, in the 80s, when the youth went wild...

Rad Were you a kid in the 80s? Did you have a BMX? If you answered yes and then no, then I honestly pity you my friend, because the kind of fun that could be found on a BMX in the 80s was the kind of fun that you will never find again. BMX was so good, I didn't even realise how good i...

Winner takes all Lets just put this out there Sly Stallone is one hell of a film maker and actor, I mean, top notch, the guy is a beast. How could anyone be both beautifully articulate in his acting, but then be so great on paper as well? He does his brilliant best here again with both ac...
