Movies

Home Alone
I saw some movies in my summer vacation. Especially, I liked ‘Home Alone’. I rented that DVD from the rental shop. This is a 1990 Christmas movie.

Plot
The McCllister family planned to go Paris as a Christmas trip. On the day of the start date, they slept late, because they had a black out. They set for the trip and go to an airport hastily. Kevin McCallister who is the youngest of the five children in the family was left in a home alone, his parent very panicked. However Kevin didn't panic, rather, he was very pleased at to be alone. He enjoyed living alone, but two thieves came in the house. Kevin set many traps to guard them house.

Macaulay Carson Culkin
He played Kevin McCallister who is the leading character in this movie. Culkin was born in New York City (August 26, 1980). He became a world-famous child actor by Home Alone. He was recognized to The Guinness Book of World Records as the most famous child actor.

Home Alone series
Home Alone has fore series. I wrote about the Home Alone（first）.There are Home Anole 2, Home Alone 3 and Home Alone 4. Home Alone 2 and 4 are also Kevin’s stories, but only 3 isn’t Kevin’s story. In Home Alone 4, Alex played the leading character. It’s also funny!

Diet&Exercise

Diet

Today, many people eat junk food. It is vert convenient, but not good for our health. There are many reasons. For example they are very high calorie (McDonald’s). "Mege Mac"is over 700 calorie. The calorie which general people should take for a day is about 1800～2200kcal. 700kcal of Mage Mac is about 1/3 of it, alone. Before, there is “Mega Teriyaki”. It was over 900 calorie!

Exercise

Exercise is good way for diet. I recommend jogging. It is aerobic exercise, so you can burn off fat effectively. It is also effective in preventing life-style related disease. If you want to diet, you should set up your goal. When you start jogging, to take much water is very important. You must take a glass of water before you go jogging. Breathing way is also important. You should breathe through your nose twice then breathe through your mouth once. I think jogging is the best way for diet, because it doesn’t need much money, and it can do alone comfortably.
