Jolly Good Christmas (2022)
Good Chemistry
Overall, refreshing to see a Hallmark movie with a few new twists.
Love the character of Anji, her parents and David's work friend and partner. A majority of the cast have good chemistry together and not just the leads.
The movie has a lot of sweet and memorable moments. Anji's parents were among my favorites. They had good dialogue and came across as very genuine and you would believe they were a real couple. Their warmth, giving spirit and life lessons made me really enjoy this movie.
However the scene where they run from the police and store security should be cut. It is not necessary and is a Bad lesson for kids and not very Christmassy behavior.
This movie needs a sequel next year! Maybe set in the countryside.
A Castle for Christmas (2021)
Good chemistry and charming Christmas movie
I loved that the leads were not just young actors and that they were allowed to be their age. Romance is not just for the under 30 crowd. I felt that the leads had good chemistry as did the supporting actors.
I loved that there were some new and unexpected character skills, like the author (Brooke Shields) being skilled at doing hair and yet wise about contracts. I also liked her being down to earth and not uppity about hanging out with the locals. You would expect a big city character to be overly polished and hardened.
Her character was not stereotypical and that was refreshing.
This movie also had beautiful scenery and made me want to visit Scotland.
For those judging the movie harshly, it is a Christmas movie, if you want to watch serious and Oscar worthy go elsewhere. Christmas movies are to get away from reality and enjoy a break from reality.
This one was one of my favorites this year.
Put on your PJ's relax and enjoy.
Travelers: Protocol Omega (2018)
Amazing Series Finale
Even though the show was canceled, it leaves the door wide open for some Travelers movies!!
Christmas Coach (2019)
Watch longer, it does get better.
Yes, the main character initially comes across as annoyingly cheerful. But, in time as she finds ways to connect with the male lead her character is toned down and they become relatable. Also, if you think about it when someone's whole job is about Christmas they would have to be over the top cheery, while everyone else is stressed out.
Remember it's a HM movie, not meant to be Oscar Worthy. Relax and sip some hot chocolate and escape reality for a while.
PS: The actual snow and frozen Rideau Canal, just beautiful. Almost as good as Whistler or Big White, BC
Growing Up Fisher (2014)
Great Show
Warning spoiler within: Great show, fresh idea, relatable characters, family show and a lighthearted comedy.
The Dad is a blind lawyer who has a seeing eye dog and is dealing with normal family challenges, recent separation from his wife, raising teenagers and re-entering the dating world. The characters have that quirkiness that makes you root for them. You know you can watch this show and feel good afterwards.
It is just too bad that NBC could not see it's potential and cancelled it. That's the spoiler. Hoping another network will pick it up. If About a Boy was renewed, which is not as good as Growing Up Fisher one really hopes that another network can see the potential.
