Boy, there sure were a lot of family films in ‘96 to spark young Jenny’s imagination!
Michelle is already leaving for college and Jenny is going to middle school.
Jenny’s face when she deliberately misbehaves, only to get detention instead of the iron maiden…
Jenny, for the second time (or is it third?), you can’t get powers just by thinking about it. You have to get bitten by a radioactive spider, drink a magic potion, or be the subject of a villainous experiment.
I was big on Roald Dahl as a kid. Matilda was my favorite book of his.
Ah,Matilda. Never read the book and I hated the movie.
Damn, Michelle’s already packing up for college. Ah, the days when college wasn’t insanely expensive and most people could actually afford dorms.
