John Hughes

Hughes — best known for his ’80s cult classics including The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off — was the master of teen angst, a theme he played out in many of his films [starring Molly Ringwald].

Though Hughes’ notoriety may have diminished over the past two decades, his contributions to the film industry continued as he wrote/directed many of our favorite family films including Uncle Buck, Christmas Vacation, the Home Alone and Beethoven films, and 101 Dalmatians to name a few.

Hughes will be greatly missed, but his films will continue to inspire and entertain generations to come.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Trailer

I’m a child of the 80s, so of course I was thrilled when they announced that Transformers was coming to the big screen in a huge Michael Bay spectacle.  But did we really need a sequel? 

Picking up where the last film left off, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen reunites Shia LaBouf, Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel as they team up again with the Autobots in an epic battle against Megatron and the Decepticons. 

The film opens nationwide today, and is sure to be one of the biggest summer blockbusters of ’09.  Bypass the long ticket lines by visiting Fandango.com where you can score tickets, photos, fan reviews and more.  And if you missed the first trailer, watch the newest cut now by clicking below.
