Christmas Vacation (1989)
December 19th
Directed by: Jeremiah S. Chechik
I don't know if I ever saw this entire movie, but what I did see as a kid I really hated. I hated it for being mean-spirited, unfunny and boring. I wasn't wrong. I'm surprised but I agree with my young self, this is no great film. I don't HATE it, but aside from around 3 moments it's not unique, it's not creative and it's just not funny. I guess you could call it the quintessential Christmas movie just because it has all the tropes (maybe it created the tropes, I don't know) but I think all of the love for this movie is entirely based around nostalgia.

Home Alone (1990)
December 19th
Directed by: Chris Columbus
I haven't seen this movie in at least 15 year so whatever I'll put it on this list. This is a weird movie, most people remember it for the home invasion but that's like, 15 minutes of it. Not that the pacing is bad, it's never like, boring, but a large focus of the movie is on the family trying to get back home and I don't remember any of that really. It's not exactly compelling and I don't think the scenes with the mom travelling with the polka band would be missed. This movie is a classic though and I find it hard to judge under that lens. A lot of moments are memorable due to them being burned into your brain from whatever causes that. A lot of moments are due to Macaulay Culkin's screen presence being fucking incredible. This kid was a star. Anyway, like I said, it's a classic.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
October 21st
Directed by: Samuel Bayer
Honestly, this one's a banger. There's so many fantastic ideas in here, not one of which being making Freddy Kruger a super pedophile but I mean, it's something. The pacing is super fast but never annoying, it's actually tense at times and Jackie Earle Haley's performance is incredible. I'm really impressed, I think this is better than the original.

Friday the 13th (2009)
October 21st
Directed by: Marcus Nispel
So this is what I meant by "the trappings of horror remakes of this era". But yet again I'm pleasantly surprised. On one hand it does feel soulless and way too slick, but on the other hand they do Jason justice. I appreciate the energy of this movie.

Directed by: Rob Zombie
Rob Zombie isn't a bad director. Halloween doesn't seem to fall into the trappings of other horror remakes of this era, but it does fall into the Rob Zombie trappings. It's hard to judge this movie because I feel like it's fundamentally wrong to tell the story the way it did, but it could have been executed so much worse. On a re-watch, I might even like this movie.
