The bosses of U.S. department store J.C. Penney have brought The Breakfast Club back - more than 20 years after Brat Packers Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy spent a Saturday in detention together.

The chain has shot a series of TV and cinema ads, in which young actors recreate scenes from the hit John Hughes 80s movie.

The ads promote five new teen clothing brands on sale at the company's stores, and target parents kitting their kids out for the new school year.

The commercial also features a new cover of Simple Minds' hit Don't You (Forget About Me), which was written especially for the 1985 movie.

This week finds the U.S. Army bringing war games to a whole other level, a '60s sex icon getting an exposé, Ron Perlman returning as the defender of small fluffy kittens everywhere and Eddie Murphy taking cinema egotism to new heights.

Not many movies have a hero who receives a lap dance and participates in a climactic go-kart race. But not many movies revolve around a 13-year-old who resembles and acts like a middle-age man - Jason Alexander's George Costanza, if you want to get specific.

T. Sean Shannon's "Harold" features a funny title performance by Spencer Breslin, older brother of the ubiquitous Abigail and a one-time child star himself (he played Bruce Willis' younger self in Disney's "The Kid"), more

One of the pioneering wagon-train movies of the inaugural, New York-based independent film movement, predating Jarmusch's "Stranger than Paradise," Bette Gordon's "Variety" (1983) comes off in retrospect as a veritable time capsule of post-punk downtown coolness. Just read the credits: screenwriter Kathy Acker (experimental novelist), star/photog Nan Goldin (famed shutterbug and model for the Ally Sheedy role in "High Art" 15 years later), soundtrack composer John Lurie (of Jarmusch movies and The Lounge Lizards), cinematographer Tom Dicillo (director of "Living in Oblivion," etc.), producer Renee Shafransky (Spalding Gray's longtime girlfriend), co-star Luiz Guzman, bit players Spalding Gray and Cookie Mueller (veteran of John Waters's universe), production assistant Christine Vachon, and so on. Where is Cindy Sherman? The grungy vibe of "Variety" is itself a window on the past . only at the nascent launch of a Diy indie wave in the post-'60s period could you,
