When I was talking about a legendary writer, I was talking about John Hughes and today we are talking about the two Christmas movies that makes you laugh and feel the spirit at the same time.
Those two are...
Home Alone.
released in 1990, Macaulay Culkin stars in the role of Kevin McCallister as he wishes that their is no one else to bother him all because they think hes nothing but a distraction (when really they were going to France). and now, the mother is on a quest to go to Kevin for the holidays. But, Kevin has big plans on him as two bandits are planing to break into his house and steal things.
I give this film credit, it did introduce me to John Hughes and the work he did back before this like, Sixteen Candles. The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This person had some really great work but halfway in the 90's I felt like John had lost his mojo in movie making with, Flubber and Home Alone 3. Luckily, we aren't looking at the third film. the next film we are looking at is...
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Taking place 1 year after the events of the last movie, Kevin's family is this time going to Florida to spend the holidays at. But, Kevin gets on the wrong plane that's heading for New York as he has his dad's credit card and a load of cash that he decides to stay at the most expensive hotel the film can bring us. But, Marv and Harry have escaped prison and headed to New York to this time steal money from a toy shop that's giving the money to fund a Children's Hospitial as Kevin goes his uncles place and tricks it out into a trap.
For this movie, I think little bits of the first movie was rewritten into this. But is the movie bad? Well, not really. I see this movie to be an interesting sequel, not the greatest but it's something worth watching once a year.
This is where I stop on Home Alone because 3, 4 and 5 are really a waste of time and not worth the ratings the network needs.
Well, 2 days let and I reveal the final movie I watched and then I get back into watching regular movies.
