then and now

Alicia "Al" Lambert was the middle child from the Lambert clan in the TGIF sitcom, 'Step by Step.' She started out being a complete tomboy thanks to having two brothers, but upon reaching maturity, she started embracing her more feminine side. Actress Christine Lakin played Al on 'Step by Step' and was probably one of the cutest girl-next-door types to grace the small screen. But where i

In 2006, TriStar finally wizened up and developed a film based on Konami's horror classic Silent Hill. Written by former inmate and 'Pulp Fiction' co-screenwriter Roger Avary, 'Silent Hill' was actually not a bad adaptation of a video game. Shot in Centralia, PA, where an underground mine fire has been burning since 1962, 'Silent Hill' may have spent a little too much time pontificating the arcane

'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' was the first John Hughes-directed film to focus on adults, rather than teenagers. In the 1987 comedy, Steve Martin and John Candy play business travelers with the very adult problem of trying to get home during the crush of Thanksgiving travel. The mismatched pair get into a variety of misadventures during their three day trip from New York to Chicago. When they

When one thinks of ‘Say Anything...,’ John Cusak, holding a boom box above his head and serenading Ione Skye with the Peter Gabriel song ’In Your Eyes' likely comes to mind. But beyond that iconic scene, Cameron Crowe’s directorial debut is perhaps one of the most well-crafted and nuanced teen romantic comedies of all time.

'Revenge of the Nerds' is easily one of the greatest comedies of all time. Released in 1984, the film follows a group of nerdy friends as they navigate the treacherous social waters of college. It's been almost 30 years since this classic film hit theaters, so let's take a look back at the cast of the film and see what they're up to now.

'After Earth' hits theaters this week, but it's not the first time Will Smith has had to face off with aliens. 'Independence Day' was the film that made Smith a big summer blockbuster star, so we thought it would be fun to take a look back at the cast of that film and see where they are now.

'Forrest Gump' is a tale of a dim-witted but good-natured man who finds himself in the middle of many of the influential events of post-World War II America. The 1994 film was a huge hit, earning close to 700 million at the box office and winning six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Oliver Stone's 1987 'Wall Street' succeeded in teaching us all that "greed is good." The film was carried by a tremendous cast -- one that holds strong nearly three decades later.

Despite the fact that we weren't the biggest fans of cheerleaders in real life, there is something about cheerleaders in movies that earns much less of our ire. Perhaps it's that bad things happen to them. Perhaps it's that they are so mean it goes beyond cruel and straight to funny.

In film, it's rare that a sequel is as good as (or better than) the original. However 'Aliens,' the 1986 sequel to the 1979 hit, 'Alien,' managed to top its predecessor.

The 1982 classic 'Porky's' helped create the teen film genre. It also spawned three sequels -- 'Porky's II: The Next Day,' 'Porky's Revenge!' and 'Pimpin' Pee Wee' -- and even featured a future A-lister in randy gym coach Kim Cattrall. So where have the rest of the 'Porky's' gang ended up...

Since 1981, MTV has been a taste-maker, influencing teens and tweens in the ways of music, fashion, movies and social awareness. And if you're old enough to remember when MTV actually centered its programming on showing music videos, then you're old enough to feel nostalgia over the wide array of beautiful people who served as VJs over the past thirty-some years.
