...back, scoring their first goal at the 6.03 point of the first as Dinny Start took the puck from team mates Genie Simmons and Amy Spalding and put it into the Cornell twines. And a minute into the second period, Diane Hurley rocketed the puck past Cornell goalie Diane Greaser to knot the score...
...spent the 1979-80 school year undercover at "Ridgemont High" in Southern California, then sculpted his observations into a book. Crowe's screenplay reunites his familiar cast: Brad (Judge Reinhold) is the lazily macho chef at the best fast-food joint in town.

EVERY FRIDAY and Saturday nights, the entrances of hundreds of theaters across America are clogged with people who are there to see an obscure low-budget movie that features a mad scientist transvestite alien named after a hot dog (Dr. Frank N.
