It's Chunk!

If you were a child in the 80s, or had a child in the 80s, or even just knew a child in the 80s, you must have seen The Goonies. As a person raised in the 80s, it feels strange to even try to review a movie that was such a huge part of my childhood. Movies really do have a hand in shaping our lives, and I think every movie fan has a few movies that they have watched many times throughout their lives and can't imagine life without them. The Goonies is one of those movies. For the few of you living under a rock, The Goonies is about a group of kids who set on one last adventure before their neighborhood is bulldozed over.

Anyway, GREAT MOVIE, still to this day I'm caught up in the tension when they are trying to play the organ and not "b flat", I feel the excitement when they find the artifact "key" in the map, I love childlike honesty when Mikey (Sean Astin) has a …

I remember the first time I saw this movie in the theater, it was one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. Of course anything with skeletons, and shootouts was the coolest thing that any 8 year old could have seen. Ann Ramsey was the most frightening woman I think I had ever seen, and she put on one of the best performances ever as Mama Fratelli. Mystery, comedy, and the adventure in search of One-eyed Willy.
The best quote from the movie is Chunks confession: "Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat …
