The success of young adult television shows like “Beverly Hills 90210,” “Dawson’s Creek,” and “Party of Five” paved the way for a slew of fright flicks that were packed with beautiful young stars and set to hip modern soundtracks.

Coming Soon: ‘American Reunion’

Remember in 1999 when a little comedy came out called American Pie?  A film that made the previously simple act of eating pie into a sinfully hilarious masturbation option.  The same movie introduced the world to the “MILF”, or “Mom I’d Like to F*ck,” thanks to the semi-iconic character of Stifler (Seann William Scott).  Well, the boys, and the girls, of the original American Pie have returned in this year’s American Reunion, out April 6th in theatres.  Reuniting the entire cast from the original film, and the sequels, it is definitely going to be quite the reunion, and one that inevitably will involve pie.
