This Little Love of Mine (2021)
Terrible and bad are the nicest words I can use to describe this movie
This is a waste of time. The colors are off, the lighting is weird, and there is too much use of a green screen to add a backdrop. I can put up with predictable movies, but there has to be more than a half-hearted attempt to put together a movie. When the water along the shore does not move, you know someone did not do their job. Save yourself the agony.
Hot Chocolate Holiday (2021)
Save yourself the time, watch another movie
Slow moving, no spark between the leads, some good acting, but does contain a few scenes in which the acting is bad enough your eyes will roll into the back of your head. The story line is rediculous, the script needed a rewrite, and the acting was uninspired.
Even for someone who has low acceptability threshhold for holiday movies, this is not worth the time.
Mistletoe in Montana (2021)
When you need a distraction
Yes, there are flaws, but when I need a distraction I don't focus on the negative. Duane Henry did well in this role and I look forward to more of his movies.
As far as the mistakes, I don't take them seriously and have to laugh when the clothing, makeup, and hair don't reflect what would happen in real life. Ditto for the indoor and outdoor decorations. Of course, if they did reflect real life, there would be complaints.
The snow, or lack thereof, is a glaring error and I am not certain why the decison was made to film a Montana winter without snow.
If you need perfection in your movies, this is not for you, but if you like Duane Henry or you want to just escape the pressures of the season, this is a good choice.
Never Wave at a WAC (1953)
A hidden little gem
This may not be the Picture of the Year, but most films are not. It is a nice movie to watch day or night. The actors show up to do their job, they do it well, and it shows.
Christmas She Wrote (2020)
Get cozy for a cute holiday movie.
There is not a lot of variety in movie story lines and this movie falls in line with many others. That said, the movie is enjoyable and delivers a pleasant story to the viewer. Grab a cup of hot chocolate, a comfy blanket, and put your feet up and enjoy the movie.
A Gingerbread Romance (2018)
This is better than the harsh reviews
This is the typical Hallmark movie. The soon-to-be couple meet with an insntant dislike, but over time, they discover they should be together.
Boring? No. Hallmark is not know for intellectually stimulating movies and this movie falls in line with other Hallmark movies.
Poorly written? The channel is known for movies with implausabilities and plot holes. Again, this movie falls in line with other Hallmark movies.
If you are not judgemental, you will enjoy this movie.
