Production Executive Bill Ireton Departs Sony Pictures to Launch Indie Banner in Japan
DeJonge and Miller give fantastic performances, particularly the latter who was clearly enjoying the role. It's well shot, with technical inventiveness, and includes a rather funny screenplay, but above all it is fun. Frequently, the pacing does dip and takes some time for the thrills to build back up. Also, as elaborate as the conclusion was, it just wasn't believable. A disposable thriller that injects some blood-soaked holiday spirit into Christmas.
Our eclectic dirty dozen, including a French murder mystery, a Canadian horror classic and an anime retelling of the Christmas story, are the perfect counterprogramming for anyone looking for new ideas this festive season. "There is no holiday without "Home Alone". When and where to watch the cult movie?". In 2017, about four million people (11.6% of Poland's population) were watching it on Christmas Eve and in 2018 again in Christmas Eve the film recorded the highest viewership with 4.51 million viewers. Home Alone was first released by Fox Video on VHS and LaserDisc in the United States on August 22, 1991, their first video to go direct to sell-through rather than to the video rental market first.
Better Watch Out
Luke has romantic feelings for Ashley and unsuccessfully attempts to seduce her while watching a horror film. Strange happenings outside put Ashley on edge, but it ultimately appears to be just Luke's best friend, Garrett, who has arrived to visit. Hearing a window break upstairs, the trio find a brick inscribed with "U leave and U die." Garrett panics and runs out the back door, but is apparently killed by an unknown shooter.
But the production was good enough that I came back for season 2, and I’m glad I did. Instead, the second season of Borrasca doubles down on the first season’s ending, and in doing so redeems and justifies it. What started out as a campfire story becomes instead a focused character piece, a revenge thriller about the long shadow your childhood and family can cast over your adult life.
My Southern Family Christmas
The McCallister family is preparing to spend Christmas in Paris, gathering at Kate and Peter's home in a Chicago suburb on the night before their departure. Kate and Peter's youngest son, Kevin, is the subject of ridicule by his older siblings and cousins. Kevin inadvertently ruins the family dinner after a brief scuffle with his oldest brother Buzz, in which Kevin's airplane ticket is accidentally thrown away, resulting in Kate sending him up to the attic. Kevin berates his mother for allowing the rest of the family to pick on him and wishes that his family would disappear. During the night, heavy winds create a power outage, disabling the alarm clocks and causing the family to oversleep. In the confusion and rush to get to the airport, Kevin is accidentally left behind.
Valley Heat is podcasting at its most gleefully independent, with the kind of premise that would be very difficult to pitch to an executive, but that is impossible to stop listening to. Our hapless but endearing narrator finds himself in a series of increasingly difficult dilemmas with his neighbors and family, almost always as a result of his own stupid choices. Give it a try and you too will become heavily invested in the dramas of the Rancho Equestrian neighborhood of Burbank, and all the weirdos who live there.
In this fresh and gleefully twisted spin on home-invasion horror, babysitter Ashley must defend her young charges when intruders break into the house one snowy night – or so she thinks. Holiday horror movies are relatively common, with at least one releasing every year. They commonly fall under the umbrella of B-rated flicks, and usually don't make much of an impact on the genre.Better Watch Outis a very special case, as it is a home invasion movie with a major twist alongside its holiday flare. Its current rating on Rotten Tomatoes is much higher at 89% than one of the most popular home invasion movies of the 21st century, Bryan Bertino'sThe Strangers,which sits comfortably at 78%. With its high ratings, inventive storytelling in two horror sub-genres, and an impeccable ending, it's astounding thatBetter Watch Out 2hasn't happened yet.

Non-American Hanukkah films are few and far between, and, admittedly, it is stretching the definition of the holiday movie to include Luca Guadagnino’s romantic classic in our list. You could argue that scene embodies the holiday’s themes of endurance and belief in a brighter future. Anyway, it’s a great film, and it’s got Hanukkah in it, so it stays in. Bruce Willis managed to solidify himself as one of the greatest action stars of the time in one of the best Christmas movies ever made. Now, many will disagree with this being called a Christmas movie, but they'd be wrong, as the holiday is intrinsic to the plot.
However, things take quite a turn as this isn't a normal home invasion. In Shane Black's directorial debut, Robert Downey Jr. plays Harry, a thief who gets an acting job after accidentally entering an audition. He meets a private investigator named Perry who is hired to give Harry on-the-job experience for his role. From there, a murder happens, and Harry ends up investigating it to impress a girl . After an unassuming school teacher and single mother begin having unexplained memories of a violent past, as well as the acquirement of some new skills, she learns that there's so much more to her past than she could have ever imagined.

Most of these movies follow similar paths, with funny or heartfelt events taking place, but sometimes, things aren't so friendly. This Soviet-era screwball romantic comedy set on New Year’s Eve involving a nutso plot, gallons of booze and some pretty catchy songs , The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! Has been a holiday staple in Russia since it was first broadcast on Jan. 1, 1976.
By the time the film had run its course in theaters, Home Alone was the third-highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, as well as in the United States and Canada behind only Star Wars ($322 million at the time) and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial ($399 million at the time), according to the home video box. Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold over 67.7 million tickets in the United States.
Better Watch Out takes place exclusively in an upscale family home that, like the house in Home Alone, witnesses incredible brutality and horror. The difference is that Better Watch Out is supposed to be the disturbing tale of a deranged child who lives to cause unimaginable pain while Home Alone is supposed to be a nice slapstick Christmas comedy for children. Miller is the perfect combination of precocious moppet and remorseless mass murderer, the cross between Kevin McAllister and Patrick Bateman we never knew we needed. There’s something inherently creepy about child stars and children in movies. But before Better Watch Out becomes a fiendishly clever twist on Home Alone it toys with being a lean, economical home invasion thriller.
I say that because there's a twist that happens in the story and it goes in a direction that was quite brave and I'm sure even Hitchcock would have tipped his hat. Peckover paints a pretty disturbing picture of what happens when heavy paint cans smash into a person’s face even when you don’t quite see it. The sound and implication, as well as the bloody aftermath, is enough for our minds to fill in the blanks. For the curious, though, the actual science behind Kevin McAllister’s booby traps has been a source of curiosity for years now, and this article and this video make it explicitly clear the toll this “trap” takes on a human face. The Wet Bandits got off miraculously, but poor Ricky did not go gentle into the good night.

It was an Average / below average movie for me, and most of the others who I know. There was some good acting from the cast, and it was clear that the people here were enjoying what they had to work with.
