Posted on January 6, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This is, by far, my most favorite of the adaptions to A Christmas Carol. I loved it. Reginald Owen is the best Scrooge ever! To find out later that he wasn’t even suppose to have the role makes … Continue reading →

The Christmas Card (2006)

Posted on December 29, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The Christmas Card was a delightful Christmas romance. The story seems real, like it could actually happen. The characters are real and entertaining to watch. I could watch it again and again. Of course with most of the … Continue reading →

Eve’s Christmas (2004)

Posted on December 18, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated PG The inconsistencies in this movie are too many to count. One minute Eve remembers something and in other she forgets-like lasagna night-how does one forget lasagna night when it’s a family tradition. I will say even though the inconsistencies … Continue reading →

Christmas Town (2008)

Posted on December 13, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Christmas Town was a stretch for me. Everything about it didn’t seem probable to me. It couldn’t hold my suspension of disbelief. It was too sweet, there wasn’t anything real about it. Maybe that’s the magic of Christmas but … Continue reading →

The Night before the Night before Christmas (2010)

Posted on December 5, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This Christmas film was a little over the top with sugariness of it. The sweetness of it could not cover how poorly done the movie was. The first thing I noticed was no snow and the story takes place in Wisconsin on … Continue reading →

Saint Maybe (1998)

Posted on December 2, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I love Hallmark films, they are well done and the stories are very good. Usually. This film was based on the book Saint Maybe by Anne Tyler and the story lacked a lot. I felt that the main … Continue reading →
