‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,’ Roger Rabbit Short for $22.99

THIS WEEK’S MOVIES

The surprise blockbuster of last summer comes to video today with a pleasingly surprising price. “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” which grossed $130 million at the box office, shrinks to only $22.99 on tape. That includes the Roger Rabbit cartoon “Tummy Trouble,” which also accompanied the film in theaters.

Starring Rick Moranis, Matt Frewer, Marcia Strassman, Amy O’Neill and Robert Oliveri, the fantastic comedy shows what four kids encounter as they travel across a yard after being reduced to bug size. If you don’t expect anything too profound, this Walt Disney release (rated PG) is a lot of special-effects fun for the whole family.

There’s also something special in the new-release racks for fans of the late Bette Davis. MGM/UA has come up with six more of her films from the ‘30s and ‘40s for $19.95 each:

* “Dangerous” (1935). The actress won her first Oscar for her part in this enjoyable soaper.

* “The Man Who Came to Dinner” (1941). Remarkable both for being a comedy (she made few) and for Davis’ part being smaller than usual during this period, this was an adaptation of the hit Broadway play, also starring Monty Wooley.

* “Deception” (1946). Powerful melodrama about a pianist and the jealous men in her life (Claude Rains and Paul Henreid).

* “The Great Lie” (1941). In this one, Mary Astor’s the pianist (and Oscar winner) battling Davis in a tumultuous romance-and-tragedy soaper.

* “In This Our Life” (1942). John Huston directed Davis as a woman who threatens to ruin the life of her sister (Olivia de Havilland).

* “A Stolen Life” (1946). This time Davis plays both sisters in a soap opera about twins in love with--you guessed it--the same guy.

Also just out:

“Little Monsters” (MGM/UA, $89.95, PG). Comedy for young fans of Fred Savage (“The Wonder Years”) only.

“A Dangerous Life” (J2, $79.95). Even though it stars Gary Busey, this made-for-TV film isn’t a documentary about his helmet-less motorcycle wreck; it’s a drama about the change of power in the Philippines.
