    Classic Comedy

    Comedic Legends Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor have been paired together numerous times, but this is quite possibly the most memorable of all their comedies as a duo. The plot is actually quite simple, they both flee New York to find a small peaceful town, then while finding work they are framed for a bank robbery and placed behind bars, then in the thick of it all they plan an escape while Wilder’s character participates in the Prison Rodeo. All in all it is a classic comedic performance from both Wilder and Pryor. Wilder’s character brings probably some of the biggest laughs of all time. His film career is legendary, but these laughs are truly memorable from him. Pryor also is a very hilarious friend sort of character. This has truly the makings to go down as probably one of the greatest comedies of the 1980’s.10/10

    “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” Movie Review

    “Home Alone II” Plot Summary

    Kevin McCallister is back. But this time he’s in New York City with enough cash and credit cards to turn the Big Apple into his very own playground…

    A very good sequel

    ‘Home Alone 2: Lost In New York’ is a sequel to the classic ‘Home Alone’. A very nice sequel, let’s face it! If the first one is hilarious, this one is hysterical! I consider this superior to the original. Both are great holiday films

    The basic plot is similar to the first one’s, but it’s not a carbon copy. There are many things that make this a different film and a more rich and complete one. It’s a movie with more heart either, with touching scenes such as Kevin and a kid in the hospital waving at each other

    The first one basically takes place in Kevin’s house and that zone. This time Kevin is not forgotten at home. Instead of Paris, this time his family is going to Florida and they nearly take Kevin… but he’s accidentally left at the airport. Kevin sees a guy who wears a suit equal to his father’s and confuses him with his father. He enters in the wrong plane and goes to New York City! Like in the original film, Kevin wishes to be lonely after another fight with Buzz. This time the fight is not about a pizza, but because Buzz humiliates Kevin in public when it’s his solo singing of the song ‘My Christmas Tree’, making many laugh. Of course that Uncle Frank, who has no respect for Kevin at all, laughs out loud with this

    How come Buzz and Uncle Frank always seem to get away with everything I don’t know… but at least this time Kevin gives a deserved punishment to Buzz. Besides, Buzz isn’t even being sincere when he apologizes. In fact, he whispers Beat that, you little trout sniffer. When Kevin says to his Uncle Frank Oh, wouldn’t wanna spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate!, it’s a well deserved reply as well. Indeed, Uncle Frank is a cheapskate, besides being a jerk

    The booby traps are more violent comparing to the first movie, but somehow they’re more hilarious, although sometimes they overdo it. The ‘wet bandits’ are no longer nicknamed like that. Now Marv nicknames them as the ’sticky bandits’ after stealing some money from a Santa Claus

    The Plaza Hotel is beautiful, with stunning architecture and decoration, not to mention that it’s an extremely luxurious, refined hotel

    Cedric is a likable chap, but the Concierge not so much because he dislikes Kevin from the very first moment, although this guy is hilarious at times. Lots of hilarious moments happen in the hotel, mostly with the Concierge and Cedric. One of my favorite parts is when Kevin fools the Corcierge with that cool song ‘Cool Jerk’ – that is hysterical! And what to say about when Kevin fools and scares the hell out of all those hotel’s professionals with a gangster’s movie named ‘Angels with Even Filthier Souls’? That is incredibly funny!The most hysterical part is when Kevin is about to throw a 4th brick and Marv is trying to warn Harry with a strange and almost cartoonish tone of voice, so much that it’s impossible to understand what is he saying

    Harry swears the same phrase from the original film – ‘ratcha fatcha freckin’ fracha’ or something like that. But this time he swears that over and over. I wonder how many times he swears that. To this day, I still wonder what is he saying. Maybe it’s almost as if he’s saying the ‘F’ word?Duncan’s Toy Chest is the most beautiful and wonderful toys’s store I’ve ever seen in my whole life. It is absolutely amazing! It is huge and full of everything when it comes to Christmas decorations. It’s almost like a world of fantasy or something from another world. Christmas decorations are also very present in this movie, as well as lovely Christmas carols and good messages about Christmas, allowing us to feel the Christmas magic and spirit

    As for the soundtrack, there are plenty of nice Christmas songs, such as ‘All Alone on Christmas’, ‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’, ‘My Christmas Tree’, ‘Christmas Star’ and ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ (too bad it’s not on Brenda Lee’s version). Not a Christmas song, but ‘Cool Jerk’ is awesome

    Once again, Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern steal the show in their roles. Eddie Bracken is also great as the kind hearted Mr. Duncan. Macaulay Culkin is even more cute in this film and he has a beautiful smile. Plus, he could be a singer too, he had a beautiful voice to sing and sings beautifully in this film

    That sequence with Kevin at the top of the World Trade Center is spectacular and nostalgic, but also painful and depressing to look now because it brings back memories of the tragic date 11th September 2001. Who could possibly imagine back in 1992 that, some years later, such horrible thing would happen?This movie always gave me the urge of spending a Christmas in New York City. It makes Christmas seem so beautiful in that city

    This should definitely be on Top 250.

    “Backdraft” Movie Review

    “Backdraft” Plot Summary

    Two Chicago firefighter brothers who don’t get along have to work together while a dangerous arsonist is on the loose. add synopsis

    Good firefighter movie

    Backdraft was actually not a bad movie. The plot wasn’t amazing mainly because it never really gets suspenseful and it just seems kind of stupid how trained firemen keep getting killed by the same type of fire. But I don’t think the plot is what made the movie interesting. The relationship between the two brothers (Baldwin and Russell) keep the viewer watching. This is actually one movie where I said ‘gee, Kurt Russell can actually act’. Possibly the only time I’ll say that. This was a stretch for him and I really liked it. Baldwin’s character is OK for me, nothing amazing, but decent. I really liked Donald Sutherland too. Even though he was thrown in as a rip-off of Hannibal Lectar (crazy criminal who tells them who the killer is if you talk to him about your past blah blah blah). Even though he led them toward the wrong people, possibly on purpose, and it was almost meaningless to have in the plot, I like Sutherland no matter what he’s in. Robert De Nero as always is too cool. You have to like him, even though his part wasn’t as big in this one. All in all, decent flick, worth watching, and possibly better than Ladder 49, as far as firefighter movies go.

    “Ice Age” Movie Review

    “Ice Age” Plot Summary

    Set during the Ice Age, a sabertooth tiger, a sloth, and a wooly mammoth find a lost human infant, and they try to return him to his tribe. add synopsis

    Ice Age is coming…

    I watched ‘Ice Age’in the movie theater and I liked the movie. Spite of the fact that ‘Ice Age’has many flaws and scientific errors,like humans,sabers,dinosaurs and mammoths living at the same period, and even the location of where the story passes(looks North America,but has some characteristics from Iceland for example) we can have fun even so.(unless you are very severe!) The planet is entering an ICE AGE, and many animals are immigrating to the south where is warmer. Sid is a stupid Sloth that is left behind by his own family, that can’t stand him any longer

    Walking in his way, he meets Manfred,or how he calls ” Manny” a moody mammoth who does not care about extinction or immigration and is going to the north. Worried that he can easily be captured, Sid decides to follow Manfred, and in the middle of their journey, they found a human mother with her baby. The mother dies but Manfred and Sid decides to take him and return the baby for the humans. Diego, one of the sabers, decides to follow and help them to go to a shortcut to the human’s camp. What Manfred and Sid does not know, is that Diego is from a saber clan who hates humans and wants to kill the baby, and also pretend to betray they both to make they become saber’s food. What will happen, will depend of Diego’s behavior and conscience…aka ‘A Era do Gelo’ – Brazil
