Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Excellent 80s comedy!
Two nerdy high school students inadvertently create the perfect female through an experiment. With her charm and her powers, she helps the two gain confidence in approaching women and being affirmative and outspoken with bullies, such as big brother Chet, and the post-apocalyptic road warrior from Mad Max. Hilarious and entertaining! Easily in my top 20.

Rating:

- The Holy Grail of Teen Movies
This movie has all the essentials of a great teen comedy: a hot model(Kelly LeBrock), a bully older brother (Bill Paxton), a guy with three names(this one has two, Ilan Mitchell-Smith and Anthony Micheal Hall)and it's directed by John Hughes. Wierd science is a must have for anyone interested in a movie of this genre.

Rating:

- She's into malakas, Dino!
I've seen this movie time and time again over the years. Quotable, comedic brilliance. This is one of Hughes' classics and to be honest, I'm more of a fan of this flick than The Breakfast Club (High School Reunion Collection) (which as we all know is argued as the best of the 'Brat Pack' collection).

It's safe to say that any guy who has used a computer after seeing this movie has wanted their own Lisa, I know I still do.

Highly recommended for a rainy weekend with a few beers.

Rating:

- Its A Fun Kind Of Weird
I remember when this movie first hit cable television. I loved it! Now, 20 some odd years later, it has lost some of that magic for me but I still enjoyed watching it again and it is a welcome addition to my DVD collection. Fun, light hearted and slightly politically incorrect (the way comedy should be), this is one that will be a hit at your next 80's flashback party.

Rating:

- 80's Classic
Definitely a classic 80's movie, always good for a little nostalgic entertainment. Really brings the advances in computers and computer animation in the last few years into sharp focus.

Sun in Trouble

Sun Microsystems has announced plans to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs — that's between 15 and 18 percent of its workforce.

"It blamed the cuts on the global economic downturn, but I think that like many other companies, Sun is using the downturn as an excuse for what were pre-existing problems, foretold by its stock price, which seems to be in an unending swoon," suggests GigaOM's Om Malik.

"How much has Sun spent to develop Solaris or Java?" asks InfoWorld's Neil McAllister. "How much must it continue to invest in maintaining other products, which, despite being open source, have no appreciable development community? To say these products are not loss leaders suggests something akin to Hollywood accounting."

The answer? "Spin off Java," McAllister added in a later post. "Just get rid of it — farm it out to an industry consortium and let the companies that depend upon it manage it..."
