    Tonight on 'Closer Look': Forget all the negative headlines for a few minutes — because the 1980s movie Youngblood is being remade, with a little help from the OHL's Barrie Colts.

    On tonight's episode: Some much-needed nostalgia.

    For moviegoers of a certain age, Youngblood was a cult classic — a 1980s hockey drama, filmed in Toronto, starring Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze and rookie actor Keanu Reeves.

    Four decades later, the movie is getting a modern-day reboot, with some of the on-ice filming done at Sadlon Arena in Barrie.
