We're going to need a lot more hemp before we're through

Hello I am the movie encyclopedia and if no one else will see it, I will.

This should be enough proof right there. If you can sit through this with a straight face than power to ya.

But Reb Brown is here in his first starring role in a film. Too bad it had to be this one. Reb Brown is a B movie actor with a knack for yelling and screaming, having large muscles and an inablility to say cool catchphrases after he kills someone. He hasn't really made any good movies but some of them have become great cult classics. Well this is not one of them. I know Noah Antwiler (Spoony) loves this movie but it is a total waste of film only saved by HOW bad it is.

The story follows Yor, a prehistoric hunter who fights off dinasaurs and evil blue cavemen. When Pak (the village leader)'s daughter Kala is kidnapped by the blue cavemen, Yor sets out to find them. He finds her and commits a double mass genocide by killing all of the blue cavemen and accidently killing all the other kidnapped people from the village. Yor, after countless battles, arrives on an island only to find out that they are in the present and that there was a nuclear holocaust that ressurected the dinosaurs.

The films ends with the line "Yor returns to the primative tribes on the mainland. He is determined to use his superior knowledge (aka that this IS EARTH after boom boom) to prevent them from making the same mistakes as their forefathers. Will he succeed?"

That's it. The plot is paper thin and full of bad homages, horrible action sequences, crazy over the top music and a head scratchingly bad ending.

The only redeeming thing I can say about this movie is that it is short, its so bad its funny and the effects were decent for its time. Its one of those films that is long out of print but that you can find on youtube. But seriously, even for laughs, I don't reccomend seeing this movie. Its boring and laughably bad. Ive seen MST3K films better than this.

MY VERDICT: AVOID IT

I knew this was gonna be the best Christmas ever

Screw it...you know Im the movie encyclopedia and if no one else will see it I will...but this is pathetic. Honestly I wish my catchphrase wasn't true. I wish I hadn't seen this abysmal piece of crap. But it came in my Home Alone collection so sadly, like the Next Karate Kid, I own this one.


What happened? I'll tell you what happened...John Hughes and Chris Columbus stopped helping out after the third movie. Chris Columbus helped with the third although he didn't direct it. John Hughes wrote and produced the third one and helped make it the second best in the series. But with Home Alone 4, two novice writers took over, slapping John Hughes name on it to make it look legit but it was just the "Characters inspired by" thing if you actually sat through this movie, if you wanna call it that. Then they got the director of Teen Wolf (AHHH!!) to take over as director for this movie. And, as if to slap fans in the face, they brought back Kevin but screwed up the story and replaced the original Kevin with some unknown, brought back Marv but with a different actor and brought in Missi Pyle. This is nothing but a Missi Pyle of crap.

The story focuses on greed this time. Yay messages! Kevin's parents are divorced and the house is totally empty (hello? other characters?) Kevin decides that since his Dad's new girlfriend is filthy rich that he would rather spend Christmas with her because Christmas is all about material things and however much money you have equals how much someone loves you RIGHT?! NO...well explain that to them. Oddly enough, for somewhere that's supposed to look suburbian, snowy and cold...IT WAS SHOT IN AFRICA!!!! What's next? The Sun People shot on Antarctica?

But basically that's the plot. All the acting is cheap, dull, phoned in, boring, lifeless and I almost couldn't even finish the movie. There is SOO much eye rolling going on you'd think I was possessed by teh satan.

And to top it all off this movie lacks any moral fiber and lacks any good family values. Its all about the shopping, the money and the spending in this one. Christmas is turned commercial in this one. I mean I didn't like Home Alone 2 much but at least it had good values. This one lacks any of that.

Please avoid watching this one. Even if you got suckered into buying this one because it was in a box set, just throw this one out...you'll thank me later.

MY VERDICT: ABOMINATION TO CINEMA

Hey, Alex, could you pass me the false alarms? I mean, the peas

Hello I am the movie encyclopedia and if no one else will see it, I will.

Usually if you are doing a series of movies and you completly switch the entire premise, characters, and everything else it gets booed for being a really bad movie. This one was pretty much booed too. But believe it or not, in my opinion, I think this was really good for the series. While the first Home Alone will always be the best, the second one felt like a total case of deja vu and almost totally ruined the experience for me. I mean its one thing to be simalar, another to be totally unoriginal. Well Home Alone 3 answered my problems and honestly is the Home Alone that I have seen the most times. It changes enough to make it fresh but keeps that Home Alone spirit alive.

The story follows that of Alex, a small boy living in a suburban neighborhood. He has a good family and a good life but things go awry when a group of terrorists go looking for a dangerous computer chip that they hid in a remote control car. A remote control car that was given to Alex. When Alex becomes sick with chicken pox and the thieves come after him, and with the police not believing a word he is saying, Alex takes matters into his own hands and unleashes booby traps onto the thieves.

The acting isn't as good as the original but they all do quite a good job with Alex D Linz doing a great job as Alex. Its a sweet movie with original traps, a cute story, good Christmas morals and an interesting plot that kept me interested for 102 minutes. I reccomend seeing this one.

MY VERDICT: SEE IT
