This week I explored the antics that the class of 1999 got into. A number of iconic movies came out that year, but this week I focused on two teen-thrillers that feature evil women and the lengths they go to in maintaining their status. From prom to graduation to college applications, senior year can be deadly. I experienced the highs and lows of teenage angst in Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) and Jawbreaker (1999).
