Dark of the Moon expanded the cast to bring the action sequences to the next level.
Titanic Joined Paramount+ on Nov. 1
Titanic is an epic romance and disaster film created by James Cameron that rocked the world with its initial release. The movie was the highest-grossing film of all time from 1994 until 2009 when Cameron’s other film Avatar took the title. The premise follows Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), an orphan with artistic talent who won tickets to Titanic in a poker game, and Rose (Kate Winslet), a high-class young woman forced into an engagement with a snobby rich man. They meet and form a romantic attachment to one another before the tragic event rattles their worlds.
Clueless Was Added to Paramount+ on Nov. 1
Clueless is an iconic coming-of-age teen comedy that stars Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy and Paul Rudd. The premise is loosely based on Jane Austen’s Emma set in Beverly Hills. Cher (Silverstone) is a rich girl who befriends a new student (Murphy) and decides to give her a makeover. Rudd stars as her ex-stepbrother and the only logical and supportive influence in her life, helping her recognize the immature ways she approaches the world. The film is funny, with many quotable and iconic moments. Clueless could be a fun movie to watch with the girls this weekend.
Footloose is a musical drama about a teenager moving to a small town where dancing is banned. Kevin Bacon stars as Ren McCormack, the cool new student with a talent for dancing. A local minister attempts to protect his daughter from Ren’s ways, but he and the town eventually realize that dancing is one of the many joys of life. The most memorable scene worth revisiting is when Bacon travels to a warehouse to dance dramatically alone. The soundtrack was unforgettable and a strong representation of the 1980s.
