I found him entertaining to watch in the film. Jonah Jameson in the ‘Spider-Man’ 1990s animated TV series as well as the film ‘Up’ and its sequel series ‘Dug Days’ it was nice to see Ed Asner in this ‘Home Alone’ film. Having seen Ed Asner in ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’, the film ‘Elf’ and heard him as J. There’s also a special appearance of the late Edward Asner as Mr. The three criminals attempt to steal a painting from a safe in the Baxter’s home. He’s joined by two accomplices, including Debi Mazar as Jessica and Eddie Steeples as Hughes. The criminals featured in this film include Malcolm McDowell (who I’ve seen in ‘Star Trek: Generations’) as Sinclair. I found this film a lot of fun to watch and it’s another one of those films that was first shown on TV. It features Christian Martyn as Finn Baxter who moves into his new home from California to Maine with his family, including his sister Jodelle Ferland as Alexis Baxter, his mother Ellie Harvie as Catherine Baxter and his father Doug Murray as Curtis Baxter. It doesn’t feature Kevin McCallister and it’s more in line with ‘Home Alone 3’ with it featuring an original cast of characters. The fifth ‘Home Alone’ film called ‘Home Alone: The Holiday Heist’, which was released in 2012 (whereas ‘Home Alone 4’ was released in 2002), is a standalone film. All in all, ‘Home Alone 4’ was very entertaining for my parents and me. Gideon Jacobs plays Buzz McCallister, Kevin’s older brother (originally played by Devin Ratray in the first two films) and Chelsea Russo as Megan McCallister, Kevin’s older sister (originally played by Hillary Wolf in the first two films). And there’s Joanna Going as Natalie Kalban, Peter girlfriend in the film. There’s Erick Avari (who I’ve seen in ‘Daredevil’ and a couple of ‘Star Trek’ episodes) as Prescott the butler, Barbara Babcock as Molly the maid, Jason Beghe as Peter McCallister (originally played by John Heard in the first two films) and Clare Carey as Kate McCallister (originally played by Catherine O’Hara in the first two films). There’s also Missi Pyle (who I’ve seen in Tim Burton’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and ‘Stormbreaker’) as Vera. The film also features French Stewart as Marv (originally played by Daniel Stern in the first two films). The film was directed by Rod Daniel, who also directed ‘Beethoven’s 2nd’. I know it’s wrong in terms of the viewing, but I couldn’t help be entertained. The new actors also playing the characters from the first two ‘Home Alone’ films don’t match to their original counterparts. Oh yeah, Kevin’s parents happen to be divorced in this film, which I couldn’t help be put off by. It’s also worth noting that ‘Home Alone 4’ was the first film in the series to be shown on TV instead of at cinemas, The film focuses on Kevin attempting to defend his future stepmother’s house from his old nemesis Marv and his wife Vera. Yeah! Instead of Macaulay Culkin, it’s Mike Weinberg playing Kevin. It features Kevin McCallister who’s played by a different actor. I believe ‘Home Alone 4’ takes place in an alternative universe. ‘Home Alone 4’ (or ‘Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House’) is a strange instalment in the film series. It’s also good to have all six ‘Home Alone’ films to watch on Disney+. Even though we watched the films in November, we were really getting into the spirit of Christmas. My parents and I had a fun time watching from ‘Home Alone 6’ to ‘Home Alone 4’ to ‘Home Alone 5’ over one weekend. □įor now, let me share with you what I think of ‘Home Alones 4’ to ‘6’ in general. I can’t say the latter four films have been great movies, but I’m looking forward to when I get a chance to do in-depth reviews on each of the last four ‘Home Alone’ films on my blog. With that said, I have enjoyed each of the six ‘Home Alone’ films with varying measures of entertainment. This is understandable as the original ‘Home Alone’ film is the best and it’s quite pointless to do remakes of the same thing. Not many people like ‘Home Alones 3’ to ‘6’. One of the things I’ve noticed about the ‘Home Alone’ films is that most people regard the first two films more highly than the latter four. ‘Home Sweet Home Alone’ was released exclusively on Disney+ recently. These include ‘Home Alone 4’, ‘Home Alone: The Holiday Heist’ and ‘Home Sweet Home Alone’. Recently, I’ve seen the latter three films of the ‘Home Alone’ series. I saw ‘Home Alone 3’ on Disney+ last Christmas in December 2020. Last year, I shared my in-depth reviews on ‘Home Alone’ and ‘Home Alone 2: Lost In New York’. Over the years, I’ve shared my thoughts on the ‘Home Alone’ films. Well, I can safely say, I’ve seen all of the ‘Home Alone’ films. Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
