Even though she really became a movie star with Amy Heckerling's 1995 screwball comedy, "Clueless," if you were a youngster in the 1990s, there's no way you didn't know Alicia Silverstone from those steamy and rebellious Aerosmith music videos — "Amazing," "Cryin'," and "Crazy" — first. You had to: She was drop-dead gorgeous, cute, and mysterious, and had a lot of opportunities to choose from even before "Clueless" became a hit. She had truly been the Queen of the '90s for a while, and even I know that, as a guy who wasn't necessarily well-versed in the Silverstone universe.

But even before high-schooler Cher Horowitz conquered the big screen next to Brittany Murphy,...

“Entertainment Tonight” has pulled out of its vaults several minutes of previously unseen behind-the-scenes “Clueless” footage, showcasing Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Brittany Murphy, Breckin Meyer, Stacey Dash, Donald Faison, director Amy Heckerling, and the rest of the team. In the last month, many involved with the production have appeared at 30th anniversary events, heralding the indelible mark left by the high school classic on pop culture.

The clips include one-on-one interviews with the cast members, many of whom were teenagers at the time, describing their characters. In one segment, Meyer reveals that he was familiar with being a high school student in Beverly Hills — even though the movie’s fictional Bronson Alcott High School was actually played by Occidental College in nearby Eagle Rock.

“I went to Beverly. I went to the school it’s about, oddly enough, so I know exactly what it was like being the obnoxious skater kid in school,...

Could anyone really forget about Clueless, even three decades after its debut? As if!

Alicia Silverstone and writer-director Amy Heckerling joined costars and crew at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures screening of Clueless on Saturday, marking the 30th anniversary of the iconic film’s July 1995 release — but it was Silverstone’s costars Breckin Meyer and Elisa Donovan who shared the biggest bombshells of the night.

Meyer, who portrayed laid-back skateboarder Travis Birkenstock, was eager to work with Heckerling, having been a fan of her earlier films such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Johnny Dangerously, and Look Who’s Talking. He also recalled some of the other actors who auditioned for the role.

“All the other guys I knew — Seth Green, Jeremy Renner, and all these cats — were auditioning for it,” Meyer said.

Donovan, who played Amber, the high school rival to Silverstone’s heroine Cher Horowitz, recalled one of...

Image Source: Paramount Pictures It’s shaping up to be a notable year for the iconic 1995 comedy Clueless. The film will celebrate its 30th anniversary later this summer, and as Cher Horowitz would famously say, “As If!” Since its release, Clueless has cultivated a dedicated fanbase and continues to find new audiences through home entertainment and streaming. While a Clueless television series did air from 1996 to 1999, it notably did not feature the film’s star, Alicia Silverstone, as Cher. However, nearly three decades later, Silverstone is set to return to the role of the beloved Beverly Hills high schooler. According to a report from Variety, a sequel series is in development for Peacock, brought to you by the creative minds behind hit shows like The Oc, Gossip Girl, and Dollface. Silverstone will not only star but also serve as an executive producer on the project. Alicia Silverstone’s portrayal of...

Cary Elwes has joined the cast of new Peacock thriller series M.I.A. Elwes will be appearing in the upcoming show alongside stars from Narcos and Fear the Walking Dead as series regulars.

According to Deadline, Ozark co-creator Bill Dubuque's series has added Maurice Compte (Narcos and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Danay Garcia (Fear of the Walking Dead and Prison Break), along with Saw star Elwes, to its expanding cast. The streamer has yet to reveal the character names of its three newest cast members.

Cary Elwes Joins New Peacock Drama Series M.I.A.

Previously, Peacock cast Shannon Gisela (Her Study of a Killer) and Brittany Adebumola (The Other Black Girl) in leading roles as Etta Tiger Jonz and Lovely, respectively, while Dylan Jackson will be playing Stanley.

M.I.A. – which stands for the airport code for Miami International Airport – revolves around Etta Tiger Jonz's drug-running family,...

At a quick glance, the 2013 film Crush looks to be a rehash of the Alicia Silverstone-starring thriller The Crush, except now with a teenager on the receiving end of stalking. However, despite their surface similarities, the two films ultimately diverge in story. Also sweetening that pot of low genre pleasures here is the various depictions of infatuation. For this reason, Crush is more perceptive than its familiar pitch might suggest.

Director Malik Bader and writer Sonny Mallhi combined the tangibility of horror with the psychological intrigue and criminality of thrillers, as is evident from their film’s opening scene. To show it wasn’t playing around, Crush does something that even most horror films would shy away from; it bumps off a child in the first few minutes. Murders him, in fact. The death in question follows a casual chat between young friends, whose adorable activity of “penny for your thoughts” turns deeply ugly.

The official series description states that Fiona’s “path in life is earmarked by her father, Declan, who seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday. After...

Her boyfriend has just cheated on her, leaving her wronged and distraught. Now on her own for the first time in who-knows-how-long, the girl will commit every act of rebellion she can think of: tattoos, belly button piercings… But being the victim to nearly every man she has encountered is too much, and she soon takes to the edge of an overpass, ready to end it all. Then, as the asshole ex approaches, she jumps… only to reveal it as a prank on the man who jilted her. And this was how Alicia Silverstone was discovered: dangling from a bungee cord and flipping off the viewer. Let’s find out: What Happened to… Alicia Silverstone?

But to truly understand what happened to Alicia Silverstone, we go back to the beginning. And the beginning began when she was born on October 4th, 1976, in San Francisco, CA. Alicia Silverstone fell in love...

Thrillers like Miller's Girl captivate audiences with forbidden romance and moral ambiguity, sparking conversations and creating suspense. American Beauty weaves together lies and desires in a man's life, celebrating complex storytelling which led to its Oscar success. Saltburn and The Crush explore deceit and revenge themes in unexpected ways, showcasing subversive storytelling and talented casts.

Miller's Girl caused a lot of controversy due to the age gap between the stars, Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega, but it's not the first thriller to make people squirm. Thrillers are popular for a variety of reasons, from captivating the audience and putting them on edge, to causing a stir and sparking conversations. As a result, many movies in this genre get a lot of attention for better and for worse.

However, Miller's Girl is, at its core, a story about forbidden romance, attraction, and blurred lines of morality. Freeman plays a teacher, who...

The highly anticipated “Sonic the Hedgehog” TV series spinoff, “Knuckles,” is here and it includes a smashingly great cast that’s ready to hit you with your favorite Sega characters.

The six-episode live-action series made its premiere on Friday, April 26. According to Paramount+, the series “follows Knuckles (Idris Elba) on a hilarious and action-packed journey of self-discovery as he agrees to train Wade (Adam Pally) as his protégé and teach him the ways of the Echidna warrior.” The show takes place between the films “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” and was made by many of the same people involved in the films.

The series was created for television by John Whittington and Toby Ascher, who also serve as showrunners during production.

Here’s a complete “Knuckles” cast and character guide. All six episodes are now streaming on Paramount+.

No one sets out to be an object of obsession.

On Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer” when Martha (Jessica Gunning) enters the pub where down-and-out comedian Donny Dunn (show creator and writer Richard Gadd) works, she is looking downcast, like she’s trying to disappear. One simple cup of tea opens her up. It’s an act of kindness (or pity), but that’s all it takes for Donny to become her new fixation. Her interest in him unfolds in a montage of colorful outfits, badly applied pink lipstick and lies. She sends him tens of thousands of emails, ranging from the randy (“myy curtains r waitinfro yu they r readyy”) to the ranting (“i just had an egg”). She follows him home and sits outside his window for hours, pretends to be a hot-shot lawyer with politicians’ names in her phone and to own a penthouse in Belsize Park. Martha...

Kristen Stewart Once Broke Silence On Cheating Scandal Involving Robert Pattinson & Rupert Sanders!(Photo Credit –IMDb)

Kristen Stewart turned into an overnight sensation with her role as Bella Swan in the Twilight saga. She was paired opposite Robert Pattinson, who played Edward Cullen in the romance fantasy film.

In 2012, pictures of Kristen kissing her Snow White and the Huntsman director went viral on the internet. He was married to model Liberty Ross at that time, who filed for divorce shortly after the affair came to light. Stewart was only 19 years old but received massive backlash for her act.

When Jennifer Lopez & Will Smith Were Set To Appear In ‘A Star Is Born’ Instead Of Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga ( Photo Credit – IMDb; Instagram )

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper starrer A Star is Born impressed the critics and left the viewers mesmerized. But did you know that Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith were allegedly in talks for the film before Cooper and Gaga? It was a different project. There have been several other versions of this same story, and the first one dates back to 1937.

The House of Gucci star and Cooper received Oscar nominations for their remarkable work in the romantic drama. Gaga even won an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song) for the song Shallow. For the unversed, the film was directed by the Hangover star himself.

According to Jennifer Lopez’s interview with Extra, she and Will Smith were in...

Netizens Claim Jenna Ortega & Martin Freeman’s Miller’s Girl Is Similar To 90s Movie ‘The Crush’ ( Photo Credit – IMDb; YouTube )

Jenna Ortega starrer Miller’s Girl’s first trailer is finally here, and people just can’t have enough of the young star. The film will feature Jenna and Martin Freeman opposite each other, and the trailer hints at a complex relationship between the leads. It is set to come out next year, and the trailer has reminded the netizens of a 90s movie, The Crush. Scroll below to know the deets.

Jenna has been in the limelight ever since she appeared in Netflix’s Wednesday series, based on the character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. The actress will be back in season 2; meanwhile, this film has again brought forth the actress’s talent in this horror genre. She looks pretty mature & quite the young seductress in the latest trailer.

We all make moral decisions when we engage with art, consciously or not. For some, an element of a film’s moral makeup crosses a line and makes it reprehensible. This can be in relation to the fiction of the piece or the real world events that took place surrounding the movie. If you, Dear Reader, have such strong moral convictions and/or are sensitive to taboo topics in your movies, then The Crush is not going to be the ‘90s horror flick for you.

Because The Crush is pure sleaze on the screen and even ickier behind the scenes.

The story alone will likely draw a line in the sand for more than a few potential viewers. Journalist Nick Eliot rents a guest house from a well-to-do family and runs into (almost literally) their 14-year-old daughter, Adrian. Adrian becomes smitten with Nick and his behavior doesn’t exactly discourage...

Alicia Silverstone's breakout role in "Clueless" remains her most notable to date, showcasing her talent as a leading actress in a culturally impactful teen comedy. Silverstone's filmography spans across various genres, including horror, comedy, and romance, demonstrating her versatility as an actress. While some of her films have received mixed reviews, her recent work in "Reptile" has garnered success, reaching the top spot on Netflix's Top 10 movie chart.

Despite Alicia Silverstone being known for her iconic 90s movie roles, the popular actor has appeared in several other films ranked here from worst to best. Silverstone got her acting career started with the 1993 thriller titled The Crush which she won the 1994 MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance. Silverstone gained more prominence through her star performances in two Aerosmith music videos for their songs "Cryin" and "Crazy" which began to cement her status as a 90s teen idol and pop influencer.

Los Angeles, May 28 (Ians) Hollywood actress Alicia Silverstone recently remembered a day when she apparently was less than impressed with having to do a photoshoot.

The ‘Clueless’ star, 46, shared a hilarious picture to Instagram, taken from a 1990s shoot that she admittedly wasn’t really feeling, reports People magazine.

She captioned the picture: “I wish I could say I was giving baddie energy here (is that what the kids say today!?) but if I’m being honest, I think I just was over this photoshoot. Who knows.”

The image featured the actress, seemingly during her teenage years, as she squatted in front of a camera and posed in front of a brick wall.

As per People, the pose was of her looking a little “over” the whole thing, as she rocked a leather jacket, combat boots and a pair of blue jeans.

Many fans pointed out in the comment section...

One can only imagine how many times a week someone shouts “As you wish!” at Cary Elwes. The role of Westley from The Princess Bride is easily the signature role of Cary Elwes. But he spent years avoiding any movie featuring a sword and/or a pirate, partly because of the restrictions it put on him as an actor.

“I try to look for roles that push me as an artist,” Elwes told The Independent. “Certainly after The Princess Bride I was offered a ton of medieval comedies. I can’t tell you how many scripts I got where I had to pick up a sword or was a pirate. I turned them all down.” Well, almost all of them. “The only one I was willing to accept was Robin Hood,” he said, citing 1993’s Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Mel Brooks’ parody of the legendary character.

Despite the hesitance,...

Judging from the marketing of The Tutor, you’d be forgiven for mistaking the film for a contemporary queer update of a film like The Crush (1993). While not exclusively the purview of the 90s, a film like The Crush – in which an underage “sexpot” with a malicious streak ensnares an older man in her web of sexual intrigue – prospered in the era of Erotic Thrillers, Dtv and Vcrs.

Films in which adults are tempted into sexual relationships with minors are considered taboo for mainstream contemporary audiences. This is why the marketing of The Tutor was intriguing: the trailer suggests that rich, privileged teen Jackson (Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp) unfairly accuses his working class tutor Ethan (Garrett Hedlund) of improper behaviour. The young man then begins to stalk and effectively ruin the life of the older man, jeopardizing his reputation and the status of his relationship with pregnant girlfriend, Annie (Victoria Justice...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Goldbergs season 10, episode 15. While The Goldbergs season 10 is understandably struggling to address the exit of Jeff Garlin’s Murray, the family sitcom has so far failed to fix this issue. The Goldbergs season 10 will be the show’s final outing and this makes sense for numerous reasons. For one thing, The Goldbergs is set in the ‘80s and sees its narrator Adam Goldberg narrate his experience of growing up during the decade, so it doesn’t make sense for the series to last over a decade when its story only chronicles ten years in Adam’s life. Meanwhile, the recent departure of series star Jeff Garlin is another factor contributing to the show’s ending. Garlin played Murray in the first nine seasons of the series, and The Goldbergs season 10 struggles to cover up his absence. Murray was a pivotal part of The Goldbergs ensemble,...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Goldbergs season 10, episode 15.

While The Goldbergs season 10 will be the show’s last outing, the family sitcom just squandered a golden opportunity to fix one canon plot hole. The existence of sitcom spinoffs can sometimes mess with the continuity of the original show. The Conners retconned Jackie’s son from Roseanne, while Young Sheldon changed the personality of Sheldon’s father George Sr until he scarcely resembled the character described in The Big Bang Theory. However, some events are too major for a show to simply ignore, such as the eventual fate of its main characters.

In this regard, The Goldbergs season 10 faces a problem. The short-lived spinoff of The Goldbergs, Schooled, only lasted two seasons. However, in that time, the ‘90s-set sitcom managed to establish that The Goldbergs supporting character Barry would eventually end up reunited with his first love interest, Schooled heroine Lainey.

Alicia Silverstone had given up on acting because she “wasn’t happy” in Hollywood. The 46-year-old star launched her career appearing in 1993 movie ‘The Crush’ as well as part of videos for rock band Aerosmith and later became a household name after starring as Cher in hit teen movie ‘Clueless’ in 1995.

But, the actress has admitted she wasn’t “comfortable” with fame, reports Female First UK.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: “When ‘Clueless’ came out, it really shifted. I had been the girl from ‘Crush’, then I was the Aerosmith chick, and then, after that, I was Cher. It was very complicated and I don’t think I knew how to manage it: I didn’t have the foundation, the good tools to deal with it, I wasn’t prepared for it in any way, shape, or form. I really had no idea what was happening, and it didn’t feel comfortable.

Alicia Silverstone was on a roll in the mid-1990s, going from an Aerosmith music video catch to showing her range as both dramatic seductress in The Crush and fashion icon in Clueless. But as the decade progressed quite quickly, Silverstone ran into a bat-shaped issue that could have cost her her career. Now, Alicia Silverstone is reflecting on her time as Batgirl and how it marked a certain end to her allure during the decade.

Following the dismal reception and Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress (“beating” co-star Uma Thurman), Silverstone had some other poorly received movies in Excess Baggage and Blast from the Past, resulting in stepping away from lead roles for some time. “I wasn’t happy and what I did was really extract myself a bit from my acting career and went more into my activism,” she said. “I went to Africa. to help the elephants,...

Alicia Silverstone is happy about where she’s ended up.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the “Clueless” star opened up about the current stage of her career and how she got to where she is.

“In terms of my work, I’m having nothing but fun now,” she said.

“I had a ball in Amsterdam, making a film with these amazing interesting filmmakers,” Silverstone added, referring to her upcoming film “Krazy House”, from Dutch filmmakers Steffan Haars and Flip van der Kuil.

“I’m really happy with my life,” she continued, “Just seeing Benicio Del Toro again on the set of ‘Reptiles’. We haven’t worked together for 27 years [since the Silverstone-produced ‘Excess Baggage’ in 1997]. I thought: ‘it’s been an incredible journey’.”

Of course, Silverstone has come a long way from her days in the ’90s,...

“I once thought that there were no second acts in American lives,” F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote, in his notes on The Last Tycoon. To which Cher Horowitz in Clueless would say: “Ugh, as if!”

Nearly 30 years after she spoke those iconic lines, we are witnessing the second act in the career of Alicia Silverstone.

Her Super Bowl ad for shopping platform Rakuten, where she slipped back into Cher’s yellow tartan skirt to recreate the Clueless debate scene, went viral (as did her first TikTok appearance, again as Cher, spoofing the “as if!” scene with her son Bear), returning Silverstone to the top of the pop culture conversation.

In the independent film world, Silverstone has never been hotter. With roles in The Lodge —the 2019 Sundance chiller from Goodnight Mommy directors Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz — and Jennifer Reeder’s new meta-horror film Perpetrator, which premiered in the Panorama section...

If a script involves the antichrist, gruesome deaths, and one spiraling towards insanity as they question whether or not their child is evil, it's safe to conclude the film can be categorized as horror. However, director Richard Donner took a delicate approach when he asked renowned actor Gregory Peck to be a lead role in his 1976 film "The Omen," the fourth film in Donner's directorial career. Donner's filmography is filled with successful and treasured films like "The Goonies". "Scrooged", and "Lethal Weapon." While his work has comedic elements, "The Omen" was far from a feel-good film and yet Donner desperately wanted Peck on board. In order to convince the highly sought-after and acclaimed actor to accept the role, Donner took a grey-area approach and tread lightly about how the film would be categorized.

We'll Never Call It A Horror Film

In an interview with TheLipTV, Donner explains that he went...

The Movie: "The Crush"

Where You Can Stream It: Hulu and Peacock

The Pitch: Two years before Alicia Silverstone would become teen queen royalty for her performance as Cher Horowitz in "Clueless," she made her feature film debut opposite Cary Elwes in the evocative "Lolita" thriller, "The Crush." 

The 1990s were a golden era for erotic thrillers, but few were willing to tackle the taboo nature of a sexually-forward teenage girl and a grown man who certainly knew better. Elwes plays a writer named Nick Eliot who moves to a new city for a magazine job, and rents the back house of Cliff (Kurtwood Smith) and Liv Forrester (Gwynyth Walsh), whose 14-year-old daughter, Adrian (Alicia Silverstone) becomes enamored with him. Nick...

When Alicia Silverstone started filming Clueless in late 1994, she had just turned 18, but she’d already been in high demand as an actress. Though her feature film debut had come just two years earlier with The Crush, she had already made two other feature movies and three TV movies before Clueless came along. Speaking on a panel at Steel City Con, Silverstone recalled that she loved playing the character of Cher Horowitz but, because of the workload, didn’t have as much fun making the movie as she’d hoped.

When Alicia Silverstone debuted on the scene with 1993's "The Crush," audiences knew immediately that they were witnessing a superstar in the making. A certifiable teen queen thanks to her beloved performances as Cher Horowitz in "Clueless" and as Batgirl in "Batman & Robin," Silverstone has continued a wonderful career as an actor, activist, and vegan cookbook author.

Nearly three decades since her debut, Silverstone is wading into new career territory, starring in the shark survival thriller, "The Requin." We sat down with Silverstone to chat about rethinking the way we view shark movies, breaking new ground for women's representation in survival thrillers,...

The Notebook Primer introduces readers to some of the most important figures, films, genres, and movements in film history.Body Double (1984)Born of film noir and Alfred Hitchcock, erotic thrillers began to flourish in Hollywood in the 1980s, with Dressed to Kill (1980) and Body Double (1984) from Brian DePalma, and the knock-out success of Adrian Lyne’s Fatal Attraction (1987). Although nudity in film had been acceptable for a couple of decades, mainstream American cinema didn’t quite know how to do softcore cinema the way the European’s had managed to. So it’s almost as if erotic thrillers provided a solution—sex can be shown as long as it was presented with a threat, and usually, a punishment. In the hands of crafty screenwriters, bold stars, and directors who were not bashful, the genre stands out for its ability to titillate, taking audiences on a wild ride where sex can undo marriages and careers.

Hollywood star Alicia Silverstone says people have been pronouncing her first name wrong all along. In a social media video that she has posted, the actress not only insists her name is wrongly pronounced, but she also actually demonstrates the right way to do it.

Alicia's contention came when a fan asked for the correct pronunciation of her name. "Tell me what your name is and then tell me what people mispronounce it as," the user asked on TikTok, according to a report in femalefirst.com.

"My name is Ali-see-yuh. Ali-see-yuh. Not Alee-shya," the 44-year-old actress replied in the video.

Alicia then added a caption that read: "Just an Fyi… It's Ali-see-yuh."

Written by Dan O'Bannon and based on Philip K. Dick's short story "Second Variety," Screamers is coming to Blu-ray on January 29th from Scream Factory, and the full list of special features has now been revealed, including a new interview with Rubin.

From the Press Release: "Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, the science-fiction thriller Screamers will make its Blu-ray debut January 29th, 2019 from Scream Factory.

"Ugh, As If!" After The Crush and before Batgirl, there was Clueless, the catchphrase packed 1995 high school rom-com that somehow made us all love Alicia Silverstone even more than before, with a supporting cast of future stars including Stacey Dash, Donald Faison, Breckin Meyer, the late Brittany Murphy, and of course, Paul Rudd. Here, we look at 10 things you never knew about Clueless.

Clueless began as a TV series.

No, we're not talking about the spinoff TV series, which ran from 1996 till 1999, with most of the cast reprising their roles, minus, of course, Alicia Silverstone. Amy Heckerling, who directed National Lampoon's European Vacation, Johnny Dangerously, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and a few episodes of its short-lived TV spinoff, initially pitched Clueless as a teen soap series in the vein of Beverly Hills, 90210. The show would have been called No Worries. Heckerling figured Jeff Spicoli was so popular because he was always so positive,...

Alicia Silverstone and Breckin Meyer held a mini-reunion at a screening for Clueless at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. The duo showed up unannounced, shocking everybody in attendance on Sunday night. Silverstone and Meyer starred in Clueless, a movie based on Jane Austen's novel Emma, a fact that Silverstone has recently revealed she did not know at the time of filming the movie in 1995. Silverstone portrayed Cher Horowitz, a well intentioned, but somewhat superficial rich girl based off of the title character Emma, while Myer portrayed Travis Birkenstock, a skater who is based on the Emma character Roger Martin.

Alicia Silverstone, now 40-years old, was 17 when the movie was made. She shared some of her stories while introducing the screening of Clueless at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. TMZ reports that Silverstone seemed to be taken aback by the audience's intense reaction to her crashing the screening. The...

‘The ’90s were ripe with sexually charged thrillers featuring scheming femme fatales. With the genre-defining classic “Basic Instinct” turning 25 this week, here are the era’s best villains. Alicia Silverstone, “The Crush” Before she was “Clueless” as Cher, Silverstone made her feature film debut in this tawdry thriller as a 14-year-old who goes ballistic on a journalist (Cary Elwes) after he refuses her sexual advances. Word to the wise: Don’t cross Alicia. Drew Barrymore, “Poison Ivy” Barrymore ditched her good girl “E.T.” personae in this slithery tale about a seductive teen who schemes her way into the lives of her friend’s family.

I had seen and enjoyed The Crush before viewing Scream Factory’s new Blu-ray release of the film, but this movie was released in 1993, which is three years before I graduated high school. This means that I was around 14 years old, which is the same age as Alicia Silverstone’s character in the movie. I’m going to assume that because of this, a lot of the creep factor was lost on me. That I know of, I haven’t seen it since it hit home video, so this would be my first time viewing it as an adult. And wow, does that age difference matter. The first time I saw it, I just liked it. It was a well made movie, I liked the actors, and the story was engaging. However, as a 38-year-old man, I found myself screaming at the TV. “No! Don’t walk down there and talk to her!
