John Hughes is pretty much a legend to those who grew up through the 80s. He was the man responsible for coming-of-age classics such as Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller’s Day off and many more including one of which is getting a remake, The Great Outdoors which originally starred Dan Aykroyd and John Candy.
Almost twenty years after the Howard Deutch directed original was released, it has now been confirmed that a remake is in the works with the pint-sized force of silly comedy nature, Kevin Hart well and truly attached to star. In what capacity of character, we don’t know as yet, but we dread to think which character he could possible ruin.

Television executives want to party like it's 1989.
On the heels of the news that NBC is considering a TV sequel to "Say Anything" comes a report from Variety that ABC wants to turn John Candy's 1989 comedy "Uncle Buck" into a series. If it goes through, it would actually the second time "Uncle Buck" was adapted for television; CBS tried in 1990, but the sitcom quickly fizzled.
In the original movie, Candy played a gambling, ne'er-do-well bachelor who has to watch his brother's three rowdy kids. In the CBS series, Buck gained custody of the kids after his brother and sister-in-law died in a car accident.
"Uncle Buck" Is just the latest '80s-era film to be unearthed from the vault for a spin on TV. As we mentioned, NBC wanted to do that with "Say Anything," though it looks like the project will be quashed over objections from director Cameron Crowe and star John Cusack.

John Candy stars in John Hughes' big-hearted comedy as the eponymous oaf who has to babysit his brother's kids: difficult teenager Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly), cute little Maizy (Gaby Hoffman), and the perpetually inquisitive Miles (a pre-Home Alone Macaulay Culkin). Candy's trademark grown-up-who-never-grew-up act provides the perfect launch pad for domestic chaos and some cracking banter, topped by Miles' quickfire interrogation about Buck's personal life.

On Aug. 16, one of cinema's best babysitting adventures, Uncle Buck, will celebrate its 25th anniversary.
The John Hughes comedy tells the story of the Russell family; mom and dad need someone to look after their three kids Asap. Short on options, Uncle Buck – a sloppy and crass city dweller – is recruited at the last minute. Expertly played by the late John Candy, Buck tackles giant pancakes, power drills and a game of endless questions with Macaulay Culkin, proving crazy uncles have some serious skills.
A quarter of a century later, Uncle Buck still brings the laughs and warm, fuzzy feelings.

Another week in October, another bounty crop of horror DVDs and Blu-rays. This week we have home entertainment from recent theatrical releases of nightmares of the mind as well as re-releases of classic and campy horror, all with boatloads of extras.
Then there are other horror titles that are being re-released on Blu-ray or in packs for double dipping. On top of that, horror offerings from Asia, past seasons of TV shows, manga, novels, and even video games are all vying for our pocketbooks. And we still have four more weeks of October to go.
Next year October needs to begin in August.
Human Centipede: First Sequence
Directed by Tom Six
Human Centipede: First Sequence (review) was a sensation ever since its first mention. Stephen Colbert even talked about it at the 2010 Emmys Awards broadcast! The premise cannot be simpler. Two pretty American girls are on a road trip through Europe.

One of the foremost comedy writer/directors of the last 25 years has died. John Hughes, creator of such teen comedies as Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and his opus, the terrific The Breakfast Club died of a heart attack at the age of 59. He almost single-handedly defined the concept of "teen comedy" as we know it today. He wrote and directed with an ear towards teenage dialogue like no one else. Despite the cheesiness of such fare as Weird Science (I still like it despite, perhaps because of that), many of his films hold up as comedy classics. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a comedy masterpiece that launched the career of Matthew Broderick, and remains a staple of 1980's comedy. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles ranks as some of the best work John Candy and Steve Martin ever did on the big screen. There was a sensitivity to Candy's performance...
