Christmas Vacation

With Christmas approaching, it’s time to pull out one of my favorite movies, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. This is a great comedy to spread the Christmas spirit and make fun of family gatherings. Whether it is hooking up the Christmas lights, or Cousin Eddie dumping the RV sewage into the drain, this movie is hilarious.

Christmas Vacation was made in 1989 and 22 years later it is still making people crack up. Chevy Chase appeals to all guy’s humors because of his jokes and the hilarious scenes he does. He is truly an amazing actor and his humor is tough to beat.

I think everyone can relate to this movie. It shows just how hectic family gatherings really can get. I love seeing my family but everyone knows how tensions build when an entire family is under the same roof. Sometimes it is that funny family member just like Cousin Eddie who makes everything more interesting. Family gatherings may cause some people’s lives some stress that is not needed, but it is having the whole family together that makes Christmas special. This movie teaches this lesson well. They may all not get along, and things might not go as planned, but as long as everyone is together everything is just perfect.

So if you haven’t had a chance to watch this Christmas classic, you and your family should sit down and watch it together. You will enjoy all the humor and be reminded of how important family is.

Toy Story

One movie that always brings back memories from my childhood is Toy Story. I absolutely love this movie. Pixar released Toy Story in 1995 and since then there have been two sequels. However, in my opinion, the sequels will never be as good as the original.
Toy Story brings every kid’s dream true. Could you imagine if our toys really did come to life when we weren’t paying attention to them? When I was a kid, I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I still remember going to Disneyworld when I was young and I thought I was so cool because I bought the Buzz Lightyear and Woody toys. Watching movies from our childhood bring back great memories of a simpler time when we had no worries except for what toy to play with. What movies do you watch that bring back good memories from your childhood?
I love watching old classic movies like Toy Story. I feel like the movies made during the nineties and early two thousands were by far the best. The movies made today aren’t as good. I still can’t believe how amazing the animation is on Toy Story even with the movie being sixteen years old. The cast for the movie is also awesome. Tom Hanks plays Woody in the movies, and Tim Allen plays Buzz Lightyear. Toy Story is a classic and if you have never watched it, you must. I am eighteen years old and I still will watch it whenever it is on TV. If you want more information on the movie, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story.
