Welcome to the 23rd edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts! Last fortnight, I reviewed Frozen (2013) and Frozen II (2019). This fortnight, I’m reviewing:
- Home Alone (1990), rated PG for mild violence and coarse language
That, of course, is the Australian rating; in the United States, it’s rated.

Cool. It’s nostalgic for me as well, having first seen the movie on TV when I was young. Not to mention fun! (And heartwarming.)

lol yeah. I want to watch it again since I haven’t watch it as a kid. Thanks also for your comment on my latest refutation of an alleged Bible contradiction. You’re right to say it is cringe worthy

Great review. Home alone is my favorite Christmas movie. My children and I watched it every Christmas.

It’s one of my favourites – alongside The Nativity Story, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Finding Father Christmas.
