133: Home Alone

Published: Dec. 8, 2015, 8 p.m.

b'This year, we\\u2019re celebrating Christmas a little early (there\\u2019s a small, indie sci-fi coming out on 17 December, don\\u2019t know if you\\u2019ve heard?) with a look at a family Christmas classic that has just celebrated its 25th birthday. Home Alone manages to capture lightning in a bottle, featuring an astonishing script from John Hughes, one of the best directors of children in the business, Chris Columbus, and a perfect score from the master John Williams, not to mention wonderful performances from some brilliant comedic performers and a 10 year-old Macaulay Culkin at his impish best.'
