This is the first official post for my blog, but it is not a normal post. Today, we remember an important member of the film/acting community. This morning in New York, John Hughes died. He was 59 years old. He was the director of the iconic 80's films "Sixteen Candles," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club." In the 90's he wrote and produced the "Home Alone" movies. His work has endured through the decades and has a number of memorable quotes.
The television show, "Psych" has dropped more John Hughes references that probably any other show to date. In their third season, their episode, "Murder?...Anyone?...Anyone?...Bueller?," was a tribute to a number of his films. So, I think in honor of all his work, we should bow our heads and take a moment to reflect on his life....now go to your video store, get on Netflix or just view some clips off of YouTube of his work. If you are not sure where to begin, check out a list of his work on the Internet Movie Database.
What is coming up next on my blog? I will be going out to see "Julie/Julia" and "G.I. Joe," so look for reviews within the next week!
