DVD & Blu-ray: FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982) - Criterion Collection

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: The frank teen comedy that became a pop-culture touchstone and launched to stardom almost an entire cast The wild world of adolescence has rarely been captured with as sharp an observational eye as in this refreshingly smart, frank spin on the teen comedy by director Amy Heckerling and screenwriter Cameron Crowe—for each of whom it kicked off a hugely successful film career.

Based on Crowe’s experiences going undercover as a student at a Southern California high school, Fast Times at Ridgemont High blends hormone-fueled hilarity with an almost sociological examination of the 1980s teenage experience: the shopping-mall hangouts, fast-food jobs, buzzkill teachers, awkward dates, and first experiences of love and sex.

This pop-culture touchstone launched to stardom practically an entire cast of unknowns—including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Phoebe Cates, Judge Reinhold, Forest Whitaker, Anthony Edwards, Eric Stoltz, and Sean Penn as stoner icon Jeff Spicoli—and broke new ground in its raw yet sensitive depiction of the realities of coming of age.

First Images from the BEVERLY HILLS COP TV Series

One of the more interesting propositions in television this year is the upcoming "Beverly Hills Cop" TV series. For now we only have a few behind-the-scenes images, which you can check out after the jump. The show's creator is Shawn Ryan ("The Shield", "Last Resort"). He wrote the pilot episode, which will be directed by Barry Sonnenfeld ("Men in Black"), and will also serve as executive producer for the series. The focus of the show will be Axel Foley's son, played by Brandon T. Jackson. Aaron Foley is struggling to come out from under his father's shadow in Detroit, so he moves to Beverly Hills to fight crime. The show will also star Kevin Pollak as the police department's lawyer, an "incredibly risk-averse, a stickler for the rules, and a loud-mouthed bully". Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold will reprise their roles from the films, but only for the pilot episode, it seems. Murphy might stay on the show as a recurring character, if CBS orders more episodes.
