Just Then

Do you still remember the movies you grew up with? Watching Now and Then (1995) sure did help me remember. Although I was not able to see it (Now and Then) back in the days, but the actors in it brought me quite the nostalgia (Oh, sweet childhood.). Particularly, Christina Ricci and Devon Sawa (in that context, if you are a nineties baby).

Ricci is still very famous today. But Devon Sawa is not in the limelight as much as he used to be back in the nineties (he still has movies, as well as television series, but you get what I mean) So if his name still does not ring a bell yet (or if you haven't googled him yet), maybe this photo (along with its very well-known line) will:

It's a still from the movie, Casper (1995). Sawa played the real-life boy, Casper. Despite having only about five minutes of screen time, it was his career's big break. I assure, most kids (or most girls) my age would still remember that scene. Aside from Casper, I also swooned over fetus Sawa in Little Giants (1994). And getting to watch his fetus self again (and sharing a scene with Ricci) in Now and Then further take me down the memory lane. How about we savor and appreciate that magical moment again (because I miss childhood and fetus Sawa)?



Anyway, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids (1989) and its sequel Honey, I Blew Up The Kid (1992), Home Alone (1990), Richie Rich (1994), The Santa Clause (1994), The Little Rascals (1994), and Space Jam (1996) are just among the several nineties films that kind of bring me sudden wistfulness.
