Steelbook for the Win
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Granted the Steelbook isn't the most beautiful one that you've seen, but it's usually the cover used in previous DVD and Blu-ray releases, so I think this is proper. Also, of note, it comes with the limited edition booklet, which I was unsure of when buying this version as it's not mentioned, so that was great. The movie has never looked better, and the additional scenes, while short, were fun. The extras I wish were longer, but this is the most comprehensive package of extras we've ever had for this movie. So, I'll take it. Great package overall - very glad I got the Steelbook!

80's classic: 2 HS boys build the perfect woman
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Love this 80's classic movie. Two nerdy high school boys who can't score girlfriends, decide to build the girl of their dreams doing a crazy science experiment. Lo and behold it works and the fantasy begins from there. Of course their parents are out of town. Their new girlfriend throws them a party and the fun doesn't stop.

Fun coming of age movie
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.A real fun movie to watch. Anthony Michael Hall is in his usual best. I had a big crush on Ilan Mitchell Smith during my teens. Too bad he retired from acting early. Kelly Le Brock is drop dead gorgeous. Imo, it's one of John Hughes best.
