Teen Thrillers

Sorry the 2nd post is later this week; I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :)   For ages (at least a year!)

So for now, I thought I'd write a shorter post about some teen thrillers (which happen to all be from the 90s) instead! :) Althoggh they may not techinically classed as teen films, I've called this post Teen Thrillers because the main characters are teenagers. Since a couple of these are based on true stories, they could also be included in a true movies post ! Unless otherwise stated, the videos are trailers. Poison Ivy (1992) Lonely teenager Sylvie (played by Sara Gilbert , best known for the 90s American sitcom Roseanne , which was revived in 2018) meets Ivy ( Drew Barrymore ) and becomes friends with her.

Today's video is Taste by American singer Coco Jones . It's from her upcoming album Why Not More? which is due out on 25th April. Why Not More? will be Coco's debut album (she has previously released 6 EPs, the most recent being the Christmas themed Coco By The Fireplace , which came out last November). Other singles from the album include singles Here We Go (Uh Oh) which was released last May and newest single You, which was released earlier this month. Taste is a smooth, sexy R'n'B song (and sexy video too!). The chorus is inspired by Britney Spears' hit 2004 single Toxic . It came out in February.  Please note that the video is quite "adult"! :)   Watch the music video for Here We Go (Uh Oh) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ2nxrPHHe0&list=WL&index=28   And watch the visualiser for Coco's latest single You (which premiered on 28th March) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ2nxrPHHe0&list=WL&index=28     Visit this link ...

More John Abraham Videos

Last summer I wrote a post sharing some videos from Bollywood actor and film producer John Abraham's films. You can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2024/07/john-abraham-videos.html I had planned to do a follow-up post because I'd only featured his movies up to 2013. So here it is, although not "soon-ish" as I intended!" lol .   Nas Nas Mein from Welcome Back   In 2015 John starred in crime comedy Welcome Back , alongside Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar as criminals gone straight Uday Shetty and Sagar (Majnu) Pandey. He plays Ajay (Ajju) Ghungroo, a "goonda" (local goon), who falls in love with Ranjana ( Shruti Haasan ), the half sister of Uday. The video for Nas Nas Mein features John and Shruti. The playback singers are sibling music duo Meet Bros Anjaan featuring Shabab Sabri and Rani Hazarika . There's also a rap by Deane Sequiera .      Rehnuma from Rocky Handsome Note: May contain a slight spoiler. The following year, John play...
