Heart and soul.
It’s what Josh Baskin and MacMillan play during the memorable dance scene in 1988’s Big but it’s also what the film is infused with, making it stand up to the test of time. Yeah, its look is dated thanks to bad hair and big shoulder pads, but the story of a 13 year old’s wish to become an adult endures.
20th Century Home Entertainment has released Big 25th Anniversary Edition this week, in time for last minute stocking stuffers. It belongs under every tree because it’s just so well crafted, explaining how Tom Hanks earned an Oscar nomination for his performance. His work stems from the Academy Award nominated script by Gary Ross and Annie Spielberg.
Frustrated at being small for his age and unable to achieve his modest goals, Josh (David Moscow) makes a wish at the local carnival. The unplugged Zoltar fortune...

Brian’s sudden passing on the latest episode of Family Guy also marks the death of one of the core relationships of the series: between the loyal, family dog and the youngest and most nefarious Griffin, Stewie. We’ll miss that dynamic, but to celebrate the “Life of Brian,” here are some of our favorite Brian and Stewie buddy moments:
1) The “Road to…” episodes Harkening back to 1940s-50s buddy comedies, the “Road to…” episodes showcase the antics and misadventures of Stewie and Brian. My personal favorite is “Road to the Multiverse,” where we see Stewie and Brian animated in...

Tom Hanks is winning all sorts of new acclaim for his title role in "Captain Phillips," but it's one of his earliest and most iconic films that's getting attention today after Hanks re-created the infamous piano scene from "Big" on a UK talk show.
Hanks -- along with skilled rapper Sandra Bullock -- appeared on "The Jonathan Ross Show" this weekend to promote "Phillips," and Ross surprised him with a replica of the giant keyboard that Hanks played with his feet in one of the most memorable scenes from 1988's "Big."
A delighted Hanks played the first few bars of "Heart and Soul" with middling results, then tried his hand at "Chopsticks" with an assist from Ross. Not to be left out, Bullock -- clad in heels, no less -- joined Hanks for another round of the classic tune.
Check out the video and just try not to smile. It's impossible.
