Eve’s Christmas (2004)

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

The Night before the Night before Christmas (2010)

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

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

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (2008)

Rated NR I caught this film last year and fell in love with it. It’s such a charming romantic christmas  film. Henry Winkler cracks me up and Warren Christie is ruggedly handsome. This film doesn’t have the cheesiness or forced … Continue reading

Back to You and Me (2005)

Rated NR This made-for-TV show is definitely a made-for-TV show. The acting was so-so and the script was so-so. I do love Dale Midkiff’s corky grin, though. I would definitely think of this film for a rainy or sick day movie. … Continue reading
