Before we get started, let me say one thing: actually, let it be two things: or maybe three things: one, Eric Robert’s hair reached its peak volume and glory in this movie; two, Adam picked this one and Aidan had nothing to do with it; three, Best of the Best is eye-wateringly bad, but it’s impossible to tear your eyes away from the damn thing. It never wavers from its mission, which is to tell the heart-stirring story of a ragtag team of American fighters going up against the Korean Tae Kwon Do

As followers of the Random Canon already know, Adam and Aidan are fans of strange ‘80s-era films in which dissatisfied protagonists angle their way out of the stultifications of adulthood by vanishing into the NYC demi-monde for a night or two. I mean, who doesn’t want to pick up and hit the road with Melanie Griffith’s Lulu, as Jeff Daniels does in Something Wild? Who doesn’t want to go on an impromptu date with Rosanna Arquette’s Marcy, as Griffin Dunne impulsively decides to do in After Hours

Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me.
