I'm Not Ready for Christmas (2015)
Alicia Witt was annoying
While the concept was cute,(main character not being able to lie) the writers went overboard with "Holly" explaining everything in detail. If the character is going to tell the truth, then tell the truth and move on. Alicia Witt constantly going into longs explanations made the movie, in my opinion, tiresome to watch. Also, the character of Drew (George Stults) was one dimensional with not much meat. It seemed all he did was react with a blank face at Holly's "truthful" comments. This also became boring and tiresome to watch. It seems the writers follow a particular writing pattern but maybe they should change it up a bit.I'm a huge fan of Hallmark and their Christmas movies but "I'm Not Ready for Christmas" was definitely at the bottom of the list. Not one of Hallmark's best Christmas movies.
Daniel Boone: A Bearskin for Jamie Blue (1969)
Direct Ripoff of The Virginian (1963)
This story line is a direct ripoff of The Virginian with Robert Redford (1963) "The Evil That Men Do". Daniel Boone was a good episode but it was pretty much word for word with Israel in the Betsy Garth role. If you get a chance, check out The Virginian episode. Young Robert Redford was really good as the prison born convict. I have seen copying A LOT with Little House on the Prairie copying Bonanza story lines. I usually would not write something like this but being a fan of Bonanza and Little House its become a bit irritating. Maybe John Meston from Gunsmoke should have been the writer. The writing on that show was always new and fresh.
