Don't Go to Sleep (1982 TV Movie)

SPOOKY LITTLE GIRL

[3 December 2004]

For some reason, movies have used more little girls as a haunting figure than little boys (The Shining, The Bad Seed, Don't Go to Sleep)..and you can see why in this movie. I too have never forgotten this movie even though it has been YEARS since I've seen it...and nothing scared me more than the final scene...one of the spookiest moments I've ever seen on film.

I wasn't thrilled with the performances of the other actors, but I think the two little girls do a good job. Not a movie to spend a lot of money trying to track down, but if you do see it on Ebay for a couple of bucks, it's worth the effort.

Grand (1990)

Play it Grand

[10/10 · 8 July 2004]

I absolutely agree with Riverstone. This was a wonderful show..one I too planned to follow with high hopes. I never knew why it was pulled and I didn't even remember it being reworked...I guess by that point I was so disgusted with the network that I gave up. It was a clever, witty show that could have made T.V. history. Fortunately, most of the actors did end up with successful careers, but this certainly would have been a feather in their caps had it been given a chance. Any chance that the few shows they filmed could be found on tape?

All I can remember about the theme was, "If you want to play it, play it Grand"...
