Home Alone

Happy Holidays!!!! So the holidays have started and to continue the theme I am doing my blog about Home Alone. Not just the first one but all three. So the Home Alone trilogy is probably one of my favorite movie trilogies. I have loved watching all the movies ever since I was a kid. If you haven't already seen the movies I really recommend them. It is a fantastic, holiday spirit, trilogy.
The first Home Alone movie is about the McCallister family around Christmas time. So it's the holidays and the family is going on a trip to Paris. How nice and peaceful? Right...... Well no, in this family's case they have to make it to the airport in not enough time. Kevin (the guy the picture) is left home alone while the family is on their way to Paris. Kevin thinks this is going to be lots of fun eating pizza and jumping on his parents bed. Later he then finds out that there are two burglars, Harry and Marc, about to rob his house. Due to this knowledge he wired his own house with traps he built to stop the burglars. And finally bring the burglars to justice. 


In the second movie, Kevin is back.... Yay! If Kevin is back then something is going to go wrong. As the whole family (including Kevin) is at the airport, Kevin seems to have found himself on the wrong flight. Instead of going to Miami, he wound up on a flight to New York. He is in New York but he is not alone. He, yet again, has to defend himself from the "wet bandits" Marc and Harry. Kevin finds out they are planning to rob a toy store. Yet again he plans another set of traps for them. This time they will not forget their experience with Kevin. 

 
In Home Alone 3, their are four crooks trying to disguise a secret computer chip in a toy car, but the car ends up to take them on a detour. After the crooks picked up the wrong bag at security they go on an adventure to Chicago. The crooks follow their misplaced bag to a neiborhood of Christmas. The toy car gets handed to one of the neighbors as a present. As the crooks try and catch the toy car, they aren't as secretive as they hoped. As Alex (the guy in the picture) sees the crooks and calls the cops, the crooks are gone before the cops get there. This happens 3 days in a row, until they get to Alex's house. At Alex's house there are a series of traps and then the crooks get caught. If you want full details of these wonderful movies, I would say they are wonderful to watch at Christmas time.

It's a Wonderful Life

Hello lovely people, welcome back to my blog. I hope you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving, that's why I didn't post for 2 weeks. Well, now to start of the December month and Holiday spirit I am doing this blog about the fantastic movie "It's a Wonderful Life." Starring James Stewart, Donna Reed, and Lionel Barrymore.


This movie is about a man named George Bailey (James Stewart) and how he had always wanted to travel, ever since he was a little kid. As he got older his pa' started to get very ill and had George take over the family business. George had no other option or else the company that wants to take over the Baileys family business will do so. So George takes over and sees his travel wishes fly by him. As he starts his business, the business starts to go down hill. Then George takes his travel money, that he was going to use with his wife on their honeymoon. That money made the business better then ever. After his partner/uncle misplaces 8,000 dollars and he realizes he will be thrown in jail. He is now suicidal. All of his families worries about him cause a guardian angel named Clarence to appear. As they are talking George wishes that he had not been born. To prove a lesson to George the angel grants his wish. As they walk around town everything has been treated poorly and changed. Even the towns name changed. He realizes that everyone he loved are either dead or miserable. He noticed that he has touched so many lives in a positive way that he has one of the best lives.
