Day by Day (1988–1989)

It's cute, but so corny

[19 July 1999]

I saw a rerun of this on TV Land. It was a reunion episode where, my favorite actress, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the main character. This was her pre-Seinfeld show & I've got to say Seinfeld is better by a landslide. It's very corny, but if you're in the mood to relive the 80's, this is a good show. No wonder it only lasted two seasons.

Jawbreaker (1999)

Eh, okay

[12 July 1999]

This movie was not as cool as it seemed in the commercial ( movies do that all the time), but it was worth the 91 minutes. The plot was good & the characters were good (Rose McGowan does a great bitch-on-wheels performance) but the storyline was too shaky. It was funny then sexy then funny, etc. Plus after a while, you can guess the ending. This isn't a movie you'll be talking about a long time after, but it's enough to make you say WOW.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves! (1997 TV Movie)

Talk about bad sequels!

[15 May 1999]

This movie was really boring. First of all, the only character from the original one is Rick Moranis. If Marcia Strassman, replaced by Eve Gordon, was the mother, I would've enjoyed this movie a little more. There wasn't even Nick & Amy mentioned, except in the two minute camp discussion sequence. There were the new family included, Gordon, Wayne's brother & his family. This movie was starting to bring me down, when they got totally off-subject when Jenny's party went underway. This movie I would not suggest to anyone who's looking for a good movie (because it's not), loves sequels (because this will be the first one you don't like) & anyone over the age of ten, either sex. (because it will amaze the little ones, but it's tetious for the older ones)

The only good thing was that it was a little over an hour, so if you really got sick of it, there wouldn't be much more. I own this movie, but I got it for a gift. I only watch it as a last resort.
