'Heathers' Reboot Pushed Back "Out Of Respect"

By Meg
The 1988 movie Heathers was basically the original Mean Girls. Winona Ryder, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, and Kim Walker played a clique of high school girls who were the epitome of terrifying teens.

I mean, had she never eaten ice cream? Ice cream tastes better than anything feels. Anyways, we're getting off track. The fact was, we all had

Time To Get Back To Work Because '9 To 5' Is Getting Remade, And You'll Actually Be Excited For It

By Tanya
Watching 9 To 5 as a young woman was always a fun experience. There was something so satisfying about watching these three smart women work together to take down their corrupt boss .Sure, we could argue about the legalities of them holding their boss captive, but what's the fun in that!
