Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)

From Walt Disney Pictures, this sci-fi adventure film stars Rick Moranis as inventor Wayne Szalinski who accidentally shrinks his kids and his neighbors’ kids to the size of fleas with his newly invented shrinking machine. Not only that, but the kids are forced to make their way through the thick jungles of the backyard after they are swept up and thrown out with the trash.

The supporting cast includes: Matt Frewer as ill-tempered next-door neighbor “Big Russ” Thompson Sr., Marcia Strassman as wife Diane Szalinski, Kristine Sutherland as Mae Thompson, Amy O’Neill as typical teenage girl Amy Szalinski, Robert Oliveri (who also played Winona Ryder’s little brother in Edward Scissorhands) as young science nerd Nick Szalinski, Thomas Wilson Brown as insecure “Little Russ” Thompson Jr. and Jared Rushton (who also played the best friend of Tom Hanks’ character in Big) as sports-loving Ron Thompson. A crucial animal character includes the Szalinski family dog named Quark.

Of all the performances in this movie, Rick Moranis takes center stage in a lead performance that distinguishes him from his previous roles. What’s more, he still maintains a nerdy image whilst playing a bumbling father/nutty scientist who goes on a microscopic search for the kids.

In terms of analyzing the dynamic between the two neighbors, the Szalinskis are a dysfunctional family living under scientific misfortune. Meanwhile, the Thompsons are under the strict patriarchal discipline of Big Russ, who pushes his older son to follow in his footsteps and neglects his younger son despite the latter’s outdoorsy style. Both families, particularly the kids, start out hostile toward each other (with the exception of Little Russ, who has a secret crush on Amy), but gradually learn to cooperate along the way.

The film takes a huge step forward in creating a spectacular variety of special effects involving state-of-the-art illusion that combines miniaturized children with oversized props that appear terrifying. Examples include: a giant bee flying swiftly around the yard (with Nick and Little Russ forced to hang on for dear life), torrential splashes of water from the sprinkler system and a runaway lawn mower. On the upside, the kids befriend a juvenile ant (given the nickname “Antie”) that helps them on their journey. They even come across a huge Oatmeal Cream cookie from Little Debbie (a personal favorite snack of Antie) that resolves their growing hunger. Another magnified food item depicted in the movie (but instead serves as yet another life-threatening hazard) is a bowl of Cheerios.

This movie has just enough physical and sci-fi comedy to convey a sense of family-friendly fun. In other words, this film has the right ingredients for an amusing Disney motion picture classic as opposed to an old-fashioned sci-fi B Movie.

Although the movie doesn’t have much of a soundtrack, one scene (prior to the shrinking mishap) features Amy dancing to Nick Kamen’s “Turn It Up” while mopping up the kitchen.

Finally, the significance of this film is not just a matter of neighborly appreciation, but no matter what size you are, the great outdoors can be quite mysterious in the sense that you never know what you might encounter in your own backyard. In closing, even if you’re not sure what to think of this particular story, I’m positive you’ll have a scientific blast as I recommend this hugely entertaining movie to every sci-fi fan.

WARNING: this Disney movie may be too scary for younger children with one scene regarding an attack by a monstrous scorpion.

Big (1988)

No conversation about the "body switch" genre would be complete without mentioning the king of the hill: Big. Even without Tom Hanks’ excellent performance and endless charms, this would be a great film. It has the big laughs and the right amount of sweetness to make it an everlasting classic.

At a carnival, Twelve-year-old Josh Baskin (David Moscow) inserts a coin into a fortune-teller machine and wishes to be “big”. The next morning, he’s grown into an adult (played by Tom Hanks). Unable to convince his mother of who he is, Josh moves to New York City to search for the machine, getting a job at the MacMillan Toy Company to make ends meet.

As a pre-teen in a grown-up’s body, Tom Hanks is perfect. He captures the giddy excitement and awkwardness of a child so well he makes it look like the easiest role an actor could play. The film makes it clear, however, that childlike innocence and wide-eyed wonder easily disappear - even among the people who work at a toy company. The story naturally lends itself to many funny moments. Josh and his best friend Billy (Jared Rushton) piecing together a resume for a job application, the two of them “living it up” now that they have access to the things only adults can normally get their hands on, several misunderstandings that happen as Josh navigates the grown-up world, etc. Just thinking about any of those moments is sure to bring a smile to your face even years after you’ve finished the movie. What you might not remember and don't expect to see are the more sensitive moments, the ones that prove this movie is more than a big piece of cotton candy.

For every scene of pure joy and wonder - the best of which features Josh meeting with his boss (Mr. MacMillan, played by Robert Loggia) in a toy store - there is another that… I don’t want to say cuts deep, but reminds the adults watching of everything they’ve lost between now and the time they were twelve. It’s uncanny how so many of Josh’s co-workers can be so childish and so unlike children at the same time. Anyone who remembers what it’s like to play with toys should be able to tell Paul (John Heard) that the plaything he’s proposing is lame but it took a literal child to put the company on the right track. Once his idea has been shot down (for all the right reasons), what does Paul do? he acts like a child and a bully. The fact that everyone sees right through him shows how juvenile he is. He's not the only character who passes through the thin barrier separating children and adults, reminding us quite elegantly that while the years can bring a lot of changes… some things always stay the same.

A lesser film would’ve latched onto Paul and made him a villain but Big doesn’t need a villain. The obstacles are everyday things, like emotions. We often look back fondly at their childhood, but would anyone REALLY want to go back to that time? Kids dream of growing up. Do grown-ups dream of becoming kids again? That question gets a lot more complicated once Josh experiences the emotional growth that comes with his exposure to the "real world". As a twelve-year-old, Josh was interested in girls but it’s not like anything was actually going to happen. As a man, his friendship with Susan (Elizabeth Perkins) could turn into a relationship, and then what? a marriage? a family? He’s still a boy; too young for that kind of thing… or is he? This movie isn’t playing by real-world rules. That makes you unsure of where it’s ultimately headed.

Big checks all the boxes. The performances are terrific. If I had to single out a top three, I’d have to hand it out to Hanks first, then a tie between David Moscow and Jared Rushton. Elizabeth Perkins, John Heard and Robert Loggia are all excellent as well. The screenplay is fantastic, with so many wonderful little details that make these characters feel real. The emotions are powerful and cover the complete spectrum - from heartbreaks to big, memorable laughs. Penny Marshall (who teamed up with Hanks again in 1992 for A League of Their Own, another great film”) has made an instant favorite that will stand the test of time. It’s hard to imagine anyone watching Big and not falling in love with it. (Theatrical version, February 18, 2022)

Big

Doesn't every young child wish they were grown up? That is exactly what this movie is about. It is directed by Penny Marshall, and stars Tom Hanks, alongside Elizabeth Perkins and Robert Loggia. and there is also an amazing performance by Jared Rushton, who was around 13 years old during the movie.

Tom Hanks character, Josh Baskin, is disheartened because he was not allowed to ride a carnival ride on account of him being too short. He then stumbles upon a Zoltar machine, and makes a wish that he was big. To his surprise, he wakes up as a grown man in the morning. The movie continues from there as he tries to locate another Zoltar machine to reverse his wish.

I thought the movie was pretty funny, and the story was engaging. The great part of this movie, however, is Tom Hanks' acting. His performance as a 12 year old in a middle-aged man's body is very believable, and is why I recommend the movie.

Will they cover the line once again?

Match preview, predictions and latest team news

Leeds will play host to New Zealand’s clash against Ireland on Friday night BST. Ireland will need to put in a miracle effort to keep their tournament alive, while Maguire’s Kiwi side will be confident of locking in their spot at the top of group C – and a likely quarter-final rematch against Fiji.

New Zealand were a touch disappointing in their opening game win as the Kiwis worked hard to defeat Lebanon 34-12.

They were frustrated for periods of that game and will need to be much better with the ball in hand throughout the tournament.

New Zealand were far more impressive – albeit against weaker opposition – when dispatching Jamaica 68-6 last weekend and Michael Maguire’s are moving in the right direction as the tournament enters the key phase.

LADY IN WHITE (1988) – Episode 217 – Decades Of Horror 1980s

“I really liked your story, Frankie. I wish I was as weird as you.” You are. Trust us. Join your faithful Grue-Crew – Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, Crystal Cleveland, and Jeff Mohr – as they travel to upstate New York on Halloween for this quirky independent ghost story, Lady in White (1988).

Decades of Horror 1980s Episode 217 – Lady in White (1988)

Join the Crew on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel! Subscribe today! And click the alert to get notified of new content! https://youtube.com/gruesomemagazine

An author tells the story of how, as a young boy growing up in a 1960s small town, he was haunted after witnessing the murder of a little girl.

Writer/Director: Frank LaLoggia

Cinematographer: Russell Carpenter (director of photography)

Visual effects supervisor/Second unit director: Ernest Farino

Selected Cast:

Lukas Haas as Franklin J. “Frankie” Scarlatti

Len Cariou as Michael Phillip “Phil” Terragrossa

Alex Rocco as Angelo Rodolfo Scarlatti

Katherine Helmond as Amanda Harper

Jason Presson as Geno Scarlatti

Rose Weaver as Matty Williams

Henry Harris as Harold “Willy” Williams

Rita Zohar as Mrs. Agnes Cilak

Renata Vanni as Mama Assunta

Angelo Bertolini as Papa Charlie

Joelle Jacobi as Melissa Anne Montgomery

Jared Rushton as Donald

Gregory Levinson as Louie

Karen Powell as Anne Montgomery (Melissa’s mother/”Lady in White”)

Bruce Kirby as Cabbie

Lady in White is Jeff’s pick and he loves the family dynamics depicted in the film coupled with a ghost story that includes racism and a serial killer. Crystal sees traces of A Christmas Story (1983) in the use of a narrator and a young boy who sends away for a prized possession, this time a typewriter instead of a decoder ring. She also lauds future Oscar winner Russell Carpenter’s cinematography and the cast’s acting, singling out Lukas Haas for his cuteness factor. Finally, for her, the combination of child murders and racism coats Lady in White with a patina of sadness.

Bill describes Lady in White as being good in a lot of ways but just missing the mark of being a great movie. Each element is fine by itself but the humor makes a weird mix in a film featuring a child-molesting serial killer. He also singles out Ernest Farino as a frequent provider of quality visual effects in independent films. It comes through, for Bill, that Lady in White is made by someone who loves the material and loves movies.

As of this writing, Lady in White is available to stream from Shudder. Unfortunately, the Scream Factory Blu-ray is currently out-of-print.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Bill, will be Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye (1985), an anthology film starring James Woods and Drew Barrymore, just in time for Halloween.

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or leave a comment on the gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected].
