Home Alone 3 (Film)
Raja Gosnell directs this third film in the successful comedy series, written by John Hughes, who directed the first two. Alex D Linz plays Alex Pruitt, stranded at home with chicken pox. His dad's away on business and his mum's out all day. By a series of coincidences, a top secret US air force microchip comes into his possession and four crooks are out to steal it to sell to the enemy. But they haven't reckoned on Alex's ability to improvise deadly booby traps from everyday household items. As with the first two films, once the plot is in place, there are a series of satisfying set pieces, with the baddies outwitted by Alex in this fun-filled film.

Grave of the Fireflies (Film)
From Japan's Studio Ghibli, Isao Takahata's moving film looks at the effect of American attacks on the Japanese civilian population. The film opens on the day of Japan's surrender, as a young boy, Seita, dies alone. Then in flashback, it shows the death of his mother from burns inflicted in a ****ing raid, his attempts to look after younger sister Setsuko and their struggle against hunger, increasing attacks by the Americans and the abandonment of compassion and caring by the rest of society. An openly anti-war film, it shows that the suffering of the innocents in war happen both to the victors and the losers and despite its country of origin, could apply to any around the world.
Director: Isao Takahata
Starring: Tsutomu Tatsumi, Ayano Shiraishi, Yoshiko Shinohara, Akemi Yamaguchi
(Editor's Choice, Widescreen, Subtitles, Subtitled, In Japanese with English Subtitles, 1988, 12, 4 Star)
