When a young boy makes a wish at a carnival machine to be big, he wakes up the following morning to find that it has been granted and his body has grown older overnight, but he is still the same 13-year-old boy inside.

    5 reasons why The Shining is a Christmas movie 1. Snow 2. Red rum 3. Hyperactive kids 4. Big snuggly jumpers 5. Huge family row ending with someone putting an axe through the door.

    My previous coffee cup post reminded me of this: During The Big Sick (a film w a lot of eating), Holly Hunter insisted we actually eat the food. No spit buckets. And she'd bring up our big eating scene constantly. "Don't forget. On Wednesday, we're eating." She's amazing in every possible way.

    I rewatched Big Trouble in Little China (1986) last night. I loved it as a kid... and it's even more fun than I remember 😀What a brilliant film. Kurt Russell is magnificent with all his bravado and one-liners, the fights are great, and Lo Pan and his crew are fantastic. 10/10 ❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️
