We follow and watch Jo, a working class girl who lives with her semi-alcoholic and careless mother. Jo goes to school and falls in love with a sailor, their relationship has the sweetness of teenage love and it's amusing to watch. Later on, the ship leaves and Jo is left alone, she then discovers she is pregnant and things seem hopeless until Geoff comes along, a nice and good spirited young man who will become Jo's BFF. A british movie that entertains while showing some of the harsh realities of society at that time.

#Pops from Little Fugitive
Pops being an abbreviation of popsicle, ice cream on a stick, a delicacy much appreciated by the children in this movie. It tells us the beautiful, innocent and whimsical tale of Joey, a young boy who is tricked by his brother and friends into thinking he has killed his brother. He then escapes to Coney Island and even though he is petrified he starts to adapt and does things naturally and casually. He plays games, eats a whole lot of snacks, rides poneys and collects empty soda bottles in the beach to get money. The soundtrack is excellent and so is the cinematography, the child actors while being amateur look so real that it feels like they reach outside the camera. I'm really glad I've found this movie because it shows a lot of snacks and because all in all this movie is a treasure.

#Sausages from Basketcase
It's not a very charming movie but it has the proper 80's cheesy horror appeal, and even though it's a low budget it manages to be both scary and interesting at the same time. This is about Duane who is separated at birth from his mutant and deformed siamese brother, Belial. They didn't appreciate that so now Duane carries Belial in a basket so that they can kill the ones responsible for their separation. The special effects were good considering it was a low budget, the acting was adequate for a b-movie but those hamburgers seemed to have no ketchup on them? Enticing, anyway.
