An Ode to Movie Proms
My TV prom slideshow put me in the mood for even more prom fun — this time in the movies. Often the prom is the setting for a climactic moment, whether climatically romantic or, well, the climactic moment when everyone dies. Either way, watching these scenes can be cathartic, depending on your own personal experience with the teenage ritual.
In Praise of the TV Prom
Many of you felt my pain when it came to this week's episode of Gossip Girl. Thanks to the Lily flashbacks, just a few Upper East Side prom scenes got squeezed in between trips back to '80s LA — and that means an entire generation of GG fans got cheated out of the kind of episode that can be the highlight of a teen TV show's lifespan. So I've gathered up some memories of favorite proms from TV shows past.
Buzz In: Did You Have A Prom Song?
The horror remake Prom Night, opening this weekend, doesn't look like the kind of movie I'd love, but it did get me thinking about my own prom (which was, thankfully, free of blood and guts). There was a vague Dirty Dancing theme to mine, and the prom song was "I've Had the Time of My Life," which seemed a little presumptuous to me. As Rayanne from My So-Called Life would say, I had a time, but I certainly wouldn't call it the time of my life.
It's Pop Culture Prom Week
Break out the wrist corsages and sparkly tiaras — it's prom week! Yes, I know it's only January, but the pop culture universe has brought everyone's favorite spring formal back this week, big time. Consider:
- We kicked off the week with the new trailer for Prom Night, the remake of the '80s horror flick that makes your own prom night, no matter how heinous, seem tame.
- Then, NBC Entertainment Co-Chair Ben Silverman invoked the memory of the formal in an interview with E!

Law Abiding Citizen: Deserves a Death Sentence
Oh, Gerard Butler, what were you thinking? You might be able to forgive the 300 actor for starring in this horror flick disguised as a meaningful thriller, but he also served as producer to help finance the train wreck. Did he not even read the script?
New York, I Love You: A Jigsaw Puzzle That Doesn't Quite Fit
As a city with so much personality and penchant for possibility, it's no surprise that the follow-up to Paris, Je t'aime heads to New York. New York, I Love You is a tale of the connections and personal missteps that occur every single day in the city that never sleeps. It plays out like a movie version of a song mash-up: some story lines are linear and independent of the rest while other characters wander in and out of each other's lives.
