Teen Witch (1989)
Perfect 80's time capsule

Warning: Spoilers
Okay, so the 80's were evil. We can all agree on that statement, right? But Teen Witch is still a fun movie to watch, if only for looking back and laughing at the decade. Pink socks on the fellas, acid wash jeans, Madonna attire...what the heck were we thinking? Aside from the chance to cringe at the fashion trends, Teen Witch has some amusing and truly original moments. Here they are, in no particular order:

1. I'm pretty sure Teen Witch is a musical, even if the movie won't admit it. Who can forget these songs? There's "I Like Boys," where cheerleaders prance around the locker room in neon leotards and treat towels like dance ribbons. And there's "Top That," a rap cession between Acid Wash Boy and Madonna Gal that's hilarious.

2. There's a scene where the Teen Witch and her 'popular' boyfriend explore a lighthouse or something while peeling off small articles of clothing. We leave with them kissing, but its kinda suggestive for a teen movie. Did Teen Witch get herself some action??

3. I like the ending. The cool guy could have turned out to be a jerk, trying to make out with her or something, but Teen Witch doesn't go on that familiar route. Instead the 'geek' manages to nab the cool guy without her powers, showing that she just needed confidence. Way fab.

See Teen Witch. It's like, totally mackadacious. 3 out of 4 stars.
