Mystery on Mistletoe Lane (2023 TV Movie)

One of the best ever

[10/10 · 11 November 2023]

I don't generally watch the Movies and Mysteries channel because I don't believe in murder for entertainment. The teasers look promising so i decided to give it a shot. So happy to watch one that was an engaging movie that had no murders. We need more like this!! Evidently I have to write more characters so I'm writing more. So what else can I say? I still have to say more so here I am. I didn't want to give away any of the story just that it is really good. Still more to write. If you like Hallmark movies I highly recommend this one. Of course there are the usual tropes of romance but the mystery is quite different.

A Maple Valley Christmas (2022 TV Movie)

Is it wrong that I hate everyone?

[4/10 · 12 November 2022]

My wife and I watch every darn movie these channels put out and this is one of worst. I genuinely don't like any of the characters and especially hated all of the lead characters. Yes I expect the ones on the movies and mysteries channel to be more dramatic and schmalty. But this one has presented very two dimensional characters with no redeemable qualities. I normally like Andrew Walker but his stunted development and lack of warmth is terrible. Honestly I have not even finished watching the movie yet but I had to get this off my chest. I'm sure everyone will live happily ever after but in the meantime I feel like yelling at the tv every two minutes.

Raise a Glass to Love (2021 TV Movie)

Very disappointed

[4/10 · 19 September 2021]

We watch every stinking one these movies and I never post reviews. The premise of this one is really sticking in my craw. The boyfriend of the female lead won't hire her because she isn't a Master Sommelier. I googled it and there have only been 269 worldwide who have obtained it since the certification was created in 1969. So the statical possibility of his hiring requirement is beyond ridiculous.

Paris Is Burning (1990)

Incomplete Documentary

[6/10 · 15 August 2021]

While I was riveted by the people & portrayal of the grit of NYC at that time this movie lacked depth. I felt like the producers were trying so hard to cram in as many aspects of this culture, they skimmed the surface too much. A couple of minor interviews where the subjects were clearly only given softball questions or no questions at all. I think opportunities were missed.

Little Women (2019)

Lovely version but....

[8/10 · 2 January 2020]

Why do they insist on having the women's hair down??? This would NEVER HAVE HAPPENED at this period in time. No women or girls would not have their hair in a braid or in a bun.

Breakthrough (2019)

Excellent

[10/10 · 4 May 2019]

I don't ever review but the 5+ stars is BS. It is a true story of what can only be viewed as a miracle. Excellent acting to boot. If this is not your thing - DON'T GO SEE IT. Otherwise go see a movie about real flawed people put in a heart wrenching situation. You will not be disappointed.

Dog Days (I) (2018)

Better than expected

[8/10 · 12 August 2018]

I really liked it. The acting was sincere and I enjoyed the ad libbing. Yes the plots are predictable but didn't seem forced.
