Friday fun: National Lampoon's Vacation Trailer

For the last seven days I have been on vacation, and this trailer for "National Lampoon's Vacation" seemed appropriate for this weeks Friday Fun:



It is especially appropriate given the road trip I took today. I will post about the trip later.

Friday fun: 'It Came From Outer Space' Trailer

Sorry I wasn't able to post last Friday, but I was on the road all day and got just home too late to post. Right now I am watching 'It Came From Outer Space' featuring Richard Carlson, Barbara Rush, and Russell Johnson, and that's the inspiration for tonight's Friday Fun post:

Friday fun: 'The Goonies' Trailer

Believe it or not it has been 25 years since the 'The Goonies' was released. Take a trip back in time and check out this trailer featuring the adventures of Mikey, Brand, Chunk, Mouth, and Data:



So where are they now? Well Mikey became a Hobbit, Brand became Jonah Hex, Chunk is now a lawyer in LA, Mouth lived the "The Surreal Life", and Data is now working as a stunt coordinator.

Friday fun: 'Zombieland' Trailer

For this weeks Friday fun I thought I would post the trailer for Zombieland featuring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, and Bill Murray. A nerd, a redneck, lots of zombies, and even more laughs. What else can I say except I love this movie

Friday fun: The Last Starfighter Theatrical Trailer

It's Summer movie time, and I thought you might enjoy this trailer from another one of my favorite 80's movies, "The Last Starfighter" featuring Lance Guest and Catherine Mary Stewart:



If you haven't seen this movie before, then check it out. It's a great flick!

Friday fun: Movie Trailer - The Straight Story

While it may not be the fastest road trip movie ever made, The Straight Story directed by David Lynch is still an excellent movie and I recommend you give it a watch if you haven't already. The movie which features the late Richard Farnsworth is based on the real life story of Alvin Striaght who drove his lawn mover from Laurens, Iowa to Mount Zion, Wisconsin so he could visit his ailing brother:



Because of health issues Alvin was unable to drive and he did not want to take the bus, so instead he decided to drive his lawn mower for a trip that took a total of six weeks. As I said above it's an excellent movie with a great story and interesting characters, which is something that all good road trip movies have so check it out.

Have a great weekend ~ Jim
