A boy's family leaves for Christmas vacation in France, but forget to bring him. While they are away, burglars try to break into the house. Then he gets on the wrong plane and ends up in New York City while his family are in Florida. The same burglars show up.
When I began taking college video production classes, I realized how cool the original Home Alone was. Everything is done straight up, by the book. Every shot is identifiable and everything is planned for clear communication. Casting did a great job. On an interesting note, Catherine O'Hara (Mrs. McCallister) voiced Malicious in Witch's Night Out (1978) and played Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice (1988). The second film was not as good as the first and buggered belief even more. I rate the original best and the sequel adequate.
An American romantic comedy directed by Chris Columbus, starring John Candy, Maureen O'Hara, Ally Sheedy, Kevin Dunn, Anthony Quinn and James Belushi.
A Chicago cop has a bitch mother. He falls in love with a woman and has to choose between the 2 women in his life.
Stupid, vapid and stereotypical. I won't go into this much because an American romantic comedy from 1991 is made in a cookie cutter manner. The only parts that I found interesting were John Candy's nightmare premonitions of his mother's demise. She falls down a manhole and gets in a car wreck, among other things. To get straight to the point, this is just not worth watching. I rate it tolerable because I've seen so much worse. You're probably better off not watching this.
A science fiction drama directed by Chris Columbus, starring Robin Williams and Sam Neill.A family buys a robot and by some accident, he has human emotions. The family encourages him to learn new things and to be more human and eventually the father grants the robot freedom. He goes to search for any robots like him, but finds none. What he does find is a robot modification expert who upgrades him to be more human. He then resumes contact with the descendents of the family who originally bought him.This is a surprising turn for Robin Williams, in that he is not working for the Disney corporation on this film. It is, however, what I like to call "new movie perfect" and very sentimental. The term "new movie perfect" describes that attribute of newer films that is so emotional and seemingly epic that it must be fake. The characters and plot are too good and the style and pacing are immaculate. This film was made this way for a reason! That reason is to indoctrinate! When the father gets into his car, it greets him and tells him weather conditions. The family is super-rich, but the father is what? A clock maker? It doesn't make sense. Time is the one thing that we are supposed to believe to be static, but people have been screwing around with it for ages. Roman emperors created months to glorify their names for Christ's sake (the church effed around with the calendar too). Robots become human and humans become robotic (the judge has a robotic liver). Look up transhumanism for examples of this. These are signs of the coming new world order! This is what we call predictive programming. You see these movies all the time with subtle hints at Orwellian concepts and dismiss it as fiction. After enough hinting in fiction, when it really happens, nobody is surprised and nobody reacts. The Illuminati LOVE this! When they want to kill 95% of us, we'll all say "oh, I saw that in a movie. It's o.k.". WAKE UP! IT'S FUCKING REAL! Back to the movie, I'm rating it adequate because the entertainment value is good, but the implications of the ideas within are evil.

When she gets to the house, a friend calls for a ride from the city train station. Our lovely heroine takes the children with her and gets a flat tire on the highway. This sets into motion a complex string of events.The audio and video show their exact age. It's all very 1980s.check out: Thor!This is one of those classic 80s movies that will never stop being cool, no matter how cheesy it is. Also, if you liked the concept of "After Hours", you might like this.
