\"\"<\/a>Even though I was born in the eighties, I don\u2019t have a particular connection with \u201cThe Goonies\u201d as while it\u2019s mostly considered a masterpiece, I\u2019ve only ever considered it just pretty good. Director Richard Donner\u2019s adventure film is the Hardy Boys Meets Indiana Jones and for the most part it\u2019s an entertaining call back to fodder like \u201cThe East Side Kids,\u201d which keeps in line with Spielberg\u2019s ode to his childhood cinema.<\/p>\n

Mikey and Brand are told that their house will be demolished and a brand new country club erected in place of their neighborhood. The brothers share the terrible news with their best friends, Chunk, Data, and Mouth, who suggest that they find something valuable to sell. Nicknamed The Goonies, the boys discover an old map supposedly pinpointing the exact location of notorious pirate One Eyed Willie’s hidden treasure. They decide to give fate a chance and see if there really is a treasure waiting to be uncovered. On their mission they have to face off against dangerous obstacles including a murderous family of mobsters that also want the mythical treasure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Goonies\u201d is the banner eighties kids film with a slew of great kids actors from the decade getting in to a harrowing adventure that begins on good intentions. The movie can be a bit grating and loud at times, but it\u2019s saved by the performances, including Sean Astin, Jonathan Qe Kan, Martha Plimpton, Joe Pantoliano, and Corey Feldman, respectively. It\u2019s also tough to beat the theme song from Cyndi Lauper which plays throughout the film. All in all I much prefer the knock off \u201cMonster Squad\u201d when all is said and done, but I respect the legacy put down by \u201cThe Goonies.\u201d<\/p>\n

In either case, \u201cThe Goonies\u201d garners a special edition upgrade from Warner, as well as various other editions including a Steelbook and deluxe box set for fanatics. Are you good enough?<\/p>\n
