Sometimes in Life<br />

Starring: Sara Stepnicka, Eric Morrison,<br />

Jon E. Livernois<br />

When what you’ve been doing is no<br />

longer working, where do you go from<br />

here? Such is the question<br />

of Sometimes in Life, an<br />

<br />

two very different people<br />

– fashion designer,<br />

<br />

photographer, Rob –<br />

<br />

at an impasse in<br />

their personal lives.<br />

Jill (Stepnicka)<br />

has begun to feel an<br />

unwelcome cooling in<br />

her romantic relationship and<br />

Morrison) father<br />

recently passed and the reality gives<br />

<br />

self-destructive behaviors. As both run<br />

from pillar to post in their confusion and<br />

frustration, their paths serendipitously<br />

cross and a new, surprising friendship is<br />

formed – one that gives Jill the strength to<br />

acknowledge what she’s known all along<br />

and stand up for herself, and gives Rob<br />

the moral support he needs to make some<br />

very important changes in his life.<br />

The Facts of Life Go<br />

to Paris & Season2<br />

Starring: <br />

Welchel, Nancy McKeon, Mindy<br />

<br />

This is my second attempt at writing<br />

a review for this movie, because<br />

<br />

“OMGWTFBBQ!?!” After ION’s<br />

publisher told me he doesn’t pay me to<br />

DVD Movie Review<br />

write crap, I had to go back to the drawing<br />

board. But seriously – OMGWTFBBQ!?!<br />

When I was growing up in the 1980s, I<br />

never once watched The Facts of Life.<br />

I was too busy dressing like Punky<br />

Brewster and hanging out my father’s<br />

basement in Toledo trying to build<br />

my own Small Wonder to give<br />

a crap about the adventures<br />

of Squinty, Blondie, Butch,<br />

Brace-Face, and their<br />

headmistress, Ginger Midget<br />

(The correct character name<br />

and actor is listed in the<br />

order referenced by the writer:<br />

Natalie/Cohn, Blaire/Welchel,<br />

Jo/McKeon, Tootie/Fields, and<br />

Mrs. Garrett/Rae. – Ed.) But now<br />

that I’m all grown up and have learned<br />

the hard way that you cannot make a robot<br />

using a mannequin and two AA batteries,<br />

<br />

spent.<br />
