80's Movie Weekend



Happy New Year and welcome to 2011!

Since I haven't featured any of today's trilogy of movies I decided there was no time like the present... or maybe there's no time like the future. The first in this series actually came out in 1979 and featured the relatively unknown Mel Gibson long before he went crazy. Released in April of 1979, here is "Mad Max"...

the trailer...
