Tim Burton siphoned the sentiment of his oddball childhood into the fairytale of Edward Scissorhands: a teenage creation with scissors for hands who struggles to fit into a suburban world that is both amazed and frightened by him. The star power of Depp and Winona Ryder could fuel any 90’s film, but aside from the hairdos and topiaries, does Ed still make the cut? The Brains know!

More aptly titled “Weekend at the English Professor's," this deadpan comedy is also a quirky drama satirizing the literary sphere within academia. It's held together by the star power of Michael Douglas, Frances McDormand, Tobey Maguire, and Robert Downey, Junior, but . . . what is it? Plot line defiance and genre pigeonhole-dodging give the Brains food for thought. Join the feast.

Paul Newman was more than just a salad dressing, at one point he was a hockey player-coach for a rowdy Midwest minor league team about to go skates up. With a Disney plot build up and more F-words than Webster’s, did this sports dramedy have a fighting chance?  It’s the Brain’s goal to find out!

Gone to Texas are the Brains, so follow along little doggies to find out if you're a maverick or part of the adoring herd.

Come back to 1982 when high school was totally awesome and the only thing people bothered "liking" was the restaurant where you worked. Fast Times set the stage for a slew of 80's teen films and helped define the Gen X mindset. Is it still gnarly? Or just explains why your dad scalps tickets? Bell has rung, Brains in session.

While the directing credit goes to Tobe Hooper, it was Producer Steven Spielberg who had the Midas touch in the 1980's, but does a zero-body count horror movie that has been endlessly parodied and imitated still deliver the scares? Or has this become a shocker documentary explaining why home-buying disclosure packets are now three inches thick? Catch a steak and take a break with the Brains. We're herrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.
