Michael Bolton Joins Honest Trailer of WILLY WONKA to Put a New Spin on "Pure Imagination"
For the month of January, ScreenJunkies has switched from parodying big wide-release movies with new Honest Trailers to asking its fans to vote on older movies for them to tackle, resulting in videos poking fun at Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Princess Bride, and Space Jam.
