A tiny scientific glitch in one of Wayne's projects causes Wayne, his brother, and their wives to shrink big time!

August 6—Matilda (1996) 102 mins.

Matilda is a child of wondrous intelligence. Unfortunately, her stupid parents can barely tolerate what little time they do spend with her. When Matilda's parents send her to boarding school, it's to Crunchem Hall, an institution
ruthlessly ruled by the principal, Agatha Trunchbull, a hulking woman as awful as her name. But Matilda's fortune turns when Miss Honey, her first grade teacher, begins to believe in her.


August 13—Free Willy (1993) 112 mins.

Jesse, a troubled 12-year old, befriends Willy, an orca whale recently captured by the seaquarium. When the owner of the seaquarium plots to kill Willy for the insurance money, Jesse risks his life to free Will in this touching family adventure.


August 20—Problem Child (1990) 81 mins.

He's been called a three-foot high wrecking ball, a mischievous creep and a cross between Dennis the Menace and the devil...he's Junior age 7--a walking nightmare pawned off on unsuspecting couples by the Brutus Orphanage. Anyone who's ever been seven will enjoy
this uproarious tale, starring John Ritter, as Junior's latest father who hilariously tries to adjust his adopted kid before he destroys everyone and everything in his path.
