A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin in San Jose | Metro Silicon Valley | Silicon Valley's Leading Weekly

With the exception of Elf and A Christmas Story, Home Alone is the funniest Christmas movie ever. The 1990 comedy about a little boy who's mistakenly left home by himself while his family goes out of town for the holidays and has to fight off two bumbling robbers is a must watch this time of year. But this isn't just a regular old viewing of the classic film.

I also consider her the greatest movie actress from the thirties to the fifties, if only for a handful of performances-indeed, for a handful of scenes.

Displaying both the most extreme artifice in self-presentation and the most authentic emotion in performance, she exemplifies Hollywood's paradoxes in concentrated form.
