Madonna: Blond Ambition World Tour Live (1990)
Madonna's best tour
This tour was arguably Madonna's best stage performance. Anybody who was able to attend one of the shows during the four months of 1990 that Madonna toured is LUCKY!!! If you're like Me who was at least able to see the video, well, you see how artistically inclined Madonna is. Many people rejected the show saying it was a sex circus, but it all meant something. Madonna, without the support of anyone, was out to be heard, to make a statement, to express herself. And that she did - at ANY expense. This show captures Madonna's views on racism, religion, sex, and more in 18 earth-shaking performances. If you get a chance and FIND IT, watch this concert video. The documentary of the tour is available as TRUTH OR DARE.
The Breakfast Club (1985)
My favorite movie of all time!
I was only 4 years old when this movie came out, but ever since then I have loved this movie. I hadn't seen it in about 10 years and then last summer (1998) I saw it and I fell in love with it again. It is, by far my favorite movie. It is a must for any 80s child, or teen... Each character from Mr. Vernon to Allison ("the basketcase") play their role in perfection. It is a humourous, yet clever depiction of adolescence in the 80s and even now. Current movies like American Pie and Varsity Blues have come close to creating such a wonderful depiction, but the Breakfast Club is (and probably always will be) at the top of my list.
American Pie (1999)
A take-it-or-leave-it look at sex in America's modern youth.
I absolutely love this film! Whether America was ready or not, a movie with this much likeness to the concept of sex in today's youth was LONG overdue. While many recent teen films such as VARSITY BLUES, JAWBREAKER, and even the happily-ever-after SHE'S ALL THAT have touched on sex in their movies, it has been only the tip of the iceberg of how us teens really are when it comes to sex.
I am an 18 year old male, recently graduated from a small town high school where sex is an important focus of adolescents. For most of us, sex doesn't come that easy or smoothly, so people indeed needed somewhat of a reality check, which is adequately portrayed in this film. I highly recommend this movie to any adults who want a sufficient glance at sex in high school, teens who want a night of laughter (and a new topic of discussion), and children who desire their first peek at what's to come in the next few years.
Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991)
The truth whether you want it or NOT
This is probably one of her finest works and that is because it is THE TRUTH. Not a character role, like critics and nay-sayers seem to assume her as. This is Madonna, whether you want her or not. People are always trying to bring her down and criticize her career moves, but through it all she has had NO REGRETS. At the conclusion of her movie, she makes it clear that she cares not whether unimportant people approve or disapprove of her lifestyle. While many may say that it's easy to act differently when you KNOW the camera is on you, she is an experienced and confident enough actress and entertainer to be herself at ANY cost - something MANY people need. This is her, and if you don't like it, then change the channel to something you can handle.
