Hello everyone, welcome back to our blog. Today, I will be reviewing the famous family comedy classic of 90s called Home Alone. I believe most of us have grown watching Home Alone series. But it will be a great treat for your kids who have not watched it yet.

Home Alone is basically a movie about an 8-year-old boy named Kevin McCallisters who is accidentally left behind in Chicago by his family who flees to Paris. When Kevin wakes up later in the following morning, he finds  the house empty and starts to take advantage of the situation.

Although if this would have happened to us in real life, then I bet each one of us would have cried and made a huge deal out of it. However, in this movie Kevin seems to be quite happy regarding the fact that he is alone.   

Meanwhile the story develops with Two burglars Harry and Marv, who are breaking into houses in the neighbourhood where Kevin lives. They somehow get to know that Kevin is the only member present in McCallisters’house, so they plan to break into his house on Christmas Eve.

When Kevin overhears Harry and Marv, he soon rigs up his house with booby traps for them. Then the plot unfolds with how Kevin manages to knock the two burglars out and hands them to the police. Afterwards, during the Christmas Day Kevin’s mom comes to Chicago, they both reconcile and fly to Paris to join their family there.

This movie deserves a 4 out of 5 stars. I think the young Macaulay Culkin, who played the character Kevin did a wonderful job as he had to carry almost the whole movie by himself. I will recommend you watch this movie and if you guys have spare time, then do watch the other movies of Home Alone franchise. Lastly do share your thoughts in the comment section below and stay tuned for the next update from your very own Kazi.

"Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious." -Peter U. Let me start off this post by explaining as to how happy comedy movies make us. That's the main reason I chose this genre of movies and would like to keep updated you about really good picks when it comes to comedy so that people can have a good laugh!  These kinds of movies have the main intention to make people happy though comical situations presented in movies. It always keeps you on your feet and isn't restricted to any age group, whether old or young. Everyone likes to have a good laugh and there are some really good actors out there who specialises in this genre. Let's kick things off by talking about one movie which was quite a hit and was enacted by the ever famous Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The movie was such a big hit that's they had to make two parts for it. Daddy's home (2015).  Image Sourced from IMDB  (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1528854/?ref_=ttmi_tt) This movie...

Xtro (1982)

Hello everyone! Hope you have enjoyed out content this week. Today’s movie is Xtro (1982) written and directed by Harry Bromley Davenport. A horror/science fiction schlock film.   (Image sourced from IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086610/mediaindex?ref_=tt_pv_mi_sm) It follows a young boy, Tommy, who's father, Sam, was abducted by aliens but returns three years later. Sam isn't the same and starts to have a disturbing negative affect on Tommy. Xtro is one of my favourites of Schlock cinema, mainly because it doesn't try to pretend it is a big budget blockbuster. The film knows it is a B-Grade movie and capitalises on its standing. The film's low budget is obvious with poor acting and below average special effects, except for the alien which looked surprisingly good. However, rather than making the film unwatchable, these flaws add to the character of the movie and make it quite enjoyable to watch. So despite its Schlocky standing, Xtro is a f...
