Ah, kids adventure films, how fondly we remember.
In an effort to ward off property developers and save the Walsh's from having to move away. Mikey Walsh, Brand Walsh and their intrepid friends, set off to look for pirate treasure they believe exists after the discovery of a dust covered map.
Fun fun fun! Treasure, pirates, booby traps, crooks, weird cellar dwelling humans, water slides, wishing wells and budding teenager romances, The Goon…

Such a classic!

Second time seeing this and while it's not quite the classic in my book, still a fun family-adventure flick with some nice production design and a nice cast along with some great talent behind the camera with Spielberg producing (and story), Chris Columbus's script and Richard Donner directing. Added bonus for me being an Oregonian and this filmed in Astoria. **3.5/5**

The music of the music was a hit on that era an…

"The Goonies" kicks off strong with a great first act that really captures the energy of being a kid in the '80s.
It’s fun watching the group of teens hanging out, pranking each other, and getting into all kinds of creative mischief around the house. It’s a bit of a throwback to when kids actually spent time together in person, unlike today, where everyone’s glued to a screen. The story flows perfectly from one act to the next, thanks to Richa…
