Escape from Alcatraz (1979)

From The Shawshank Redemption to The Great Escape, stories of innocent or righteous people scratching together the means to regain their freedom is both captivating and emotional. Unlike most films, Escape from Alcatraz doesn’t “cheat” by giving us a softie of a protagonist. Without a doubt, the people in this film deserve to be jailed. Ultimately, you don't care because of the ingenuity in their plan and the fact that it’s based on a real-life story. Tense all the way through and with a terrific ending, it’s one of the best prison escape films.

In early 1960, Frank Morris (Clint Eastwood) is sentenced to the maximum security prison on Alcatraz Island. Having escaped capture many times, Frank is undeterred by the exceedingly high security measures and strict warden (Patrick McGoohan) who assures him no one’s ever made it out.

Alcatraz isn’t merely a prison; it’s a hell hole. While there are some who certainly deserve everything the guards and warden throw at the inmates, such as a rapist called Wolf (Bruce M. Fischer), many of the prisoners are sympathetic; victims of an unfair system (Paul Benjamin is serving dual life sentences for killing two white men in self-defence) or clearly reformed by the time we meet them. Alcatraz doesn’t see it that way. The objective is not to rehabilitate. It’s to make lives miserable. In fact, the warden makes a point to punish those he oversees based on how he feels about them rather than the way the justice system sees them. He’s not a cartoon but his smugness means he deserves to be knocked down a peg. That’s where Morris comes in. The odds are stacked against our protagonist. It’ll take inhuman levels of ingenuity to escape from the prison. Some of his tactics are so wild, it’ll make you feel like a moron. You think the operation will be as simple as Morris, his accomplices John and Clarence Anglin (Fred Ward and Jack Thibeau) and the fourth conspirator, Charley Butts (Larry Hankin) stealing a power tool to break through the bars at night but no. They’re going to have to MAKE the tools they need - out of nothing.

The space the escapees have to maneuver in is so tight, you’re constantly wondering what will go wrong. Clever as it might be, their plan is literally put together with bits of loose paper, paint, and mud. It just barely crosses the line into doable and the tiniest detail out of place will make the whole thing fall apart. While there might not be anything that prevents them from trying again should they fail, so much effort is being put into this attempt you can’t bear the idea of it failing. You want to see the phases work just so you can see what to see what comes next.

It’s probably better that you don’t know beforehand what actually happened on the night of June 11, 1962. The FBI’s position on the events are clear and unfortunately, they don’t make for a cinematic ending. This is where the film proves to be as ingenious as its protagonist. It’s a terrific final note.

Escape from Alcatraz deftly maneuvers over the obstacles it might’ve faced to deliver wall-to-wall thrills. Against all odds, you like the characters. You like them even more when you see what kind of plan they’ve got cooked up and you can’t wait to see it executed. It's one of these stories that's so wild it HAS to be true, which makes it a real nail-biter. (March 27, 2020)

HOME ALONE 1990

Ma'am, I'm eight years old. You think I would be here alone? I don't think so.

HOME ALONE (1990)

You may be asking why is a horror blog reviewing Home Alone? Because the premise is terrifying! An eight-year-old being left Home Alone for the holidays and two (2) grown burglars coming in to do nefarious deeds? And how about from the perspective of the burglars who get bested by this child? They go through a living hell because of Kevin! Either way it felt more than appropriate to be reviewed here. This movie is very fun and very heartfelt. Worth a watch each holiday season or just whenever you want a bit of Culkin family fun.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

Our film starts with a horror story about how the McCallister family live next door to a crazy killer (he is just a kindly old man but the kids don’t know that yet). Kevin is the runt of the family and isn’t having the best time being treated poorly by everyone. Things get even worse when he is left Home Alone when everyone else leaves for the Christmas vacation! At first Kevin is very excited about this but that excitement fades quickly when he meets our next two characters (and are they ever characters) Harry and Marv who plan to burgle Kevin’s home! This is very scary for him but he wants to be the man of the house so he staves them off by tricking them into thinking the family was still home by hosting a fake party.

Kevin is able to keep up his charade for a little but Harry and Marv are hungry for the house and are not going to let some snot nosed little brat stand in the way of them and treasure so they make a plan to break in. Kevin hears this plan and makes his own plans to thwart the burglars. Icing the stairs was a devastating blow to both men, he set Harry’s hat on fire, dropped an iron on Marv, honestly it was a house of horrors for those two men. And not to mention the tarantula! Kevin's brother, Buzz, had a pet tarantula that Kevin used to scare Marv and it worked like a charm. Kevin is caught momentarily but is saved by the man he thought was a killer in the beginning. It just goes to show what you really know, especially since Kevin and his neighbor are now friends. The family comes home and everything ends up okay!
