Cult Classic Grease Turns 35 Years Old Today!
We know right! Where does that time fly? It's true though guys, this cult classic flick is blowing out an impressive 35 candles on their retro cake as it celebrates another anniversary since it's first US release.
Full of classic songs, amazing dance moves and all round love story goodness featuring an insanely handsome Travolta and ever gorgious Olivia Newton-John, it's east to see why this film took the world by storm and is as much loved now as it ever was.
Every guy wanted hit moves and every girl wanted that style and figure, this icon is based on Warren Casey's and Jim Jacobs's 1971 musical of the same name about two lovers Danny and Sandy in a 1950s high school. Danny, leader of the greaser gang "T-Birds" of Rydell High, falls in love with a goody two shoes girl Sandy from Australia over the summer but when the summer ends, the two think they'll never see each other again. However they're both wrong! When the two later discover that they attend the same school, there is a lot of ideas over whether they can still be together since it's pretty uncool for hard man Danny to be in love with a goody goody like Sandy. However the two, against all odds, manage to stay together. Then there's THAT graduation! Sandy changes in a way no one expected and becomes some super cool hot chick who falls into the arms of her dream man Danny.
So ever wonder where they all are now? What they look like? Check out below as we catch up with the cast and see just what happened to those guys...

Jurassic Park Turns 20 Years Old!
Now in just hearing that news, you're probably feeling like a bit of a dinosaur already huh...you're not alone! We couldn't believe our eyes and ears when we discovered that amazing 20 years ago (ahh stop mentioning it!) Jurassic Park first hit our screens and roared it's way into our hearts, minds and collection.
Now some movies are well known, some are huge, and a select few are just monstrous! Jurassic Park certainly falls in this latter category as it blitzed all other competition at the time and was a simply mammoth success leaving it's muddy footprint in the movie world forever (spotted the dino references yet? Keep up!).
For those not in the know, the story follows a select crew as they visit a remote island where a wealthy entrepreneurs' scientists have begun breeding dinosaurs from the stored blood in preserved insects. Harmless fun so far right? One of the parks' own workers (the annoying geeky guy) attempts to steal the dinosaur embryos for his own gain, and has to shut down critical security systems in the process, essentially allowing all the creatures to escape and create havoc over the entire island! It's then a fight for survival.
