  1. I read the synopsis and thought, that is nothing like the original! I watched the original again yesterday afternoon and it was quite terrifying but it wasn't so campy. It actually made sense, crazy dude falls in love with normal girl. I'm not planning on watching it now since it had nothing to do with the original at all! Just remake it. And it's a shame James Franco is so weird because I just finished watching 11.22.63 on hulu (excellent and would recommend!) and I thought he was good in in (not great but very good).
  2. Thank you! That's what I liked! They actually kissed and went for it before the very end. I loved it! They were sexy without being over the top. They liked each other and then they kept doing it because that's what's you do when you like someone, you kiss :) And they were legit too! Oh and you watched the OJ Doc? Nice! It gets even better (sorry OT)! I have seen all parts!
  3. I was looking forward to Stop the Wedding and def was one of my favorites. I just had a feeling the couple was gonna have chemistry and they did. I thought both Rachel and Neil were adorable. Sure it had it's silly misunderstanding but I thought they were authentic and real. It didn't hurt that Neil was easy on the eyes (more so than some of the other Hallmark men I thought). I really enjoyed this film and will watch again. The Vegas run around was more for them to get to know each other so I didn't mind that. The aunt and his dad were ok but I really watched for those 2. Def one that will see again!
  4. I knew this series lagged a bit in the middle after an excellent opening 2 episodes so I was expecting a great finale and it was great! I am not a huge James Franco fan but he was awesome in this. He really got me at the end when he visited Sadie at the end at her ceremony, beautifully done. I'm glad the sidekick Bill got offed because it gave him a chance to shine with himself and dealing with him doing what he came for (at the expense of Sadie) but finding it was quite terrible. I do wish they explored the post-JFK world a bit more as a conversation underground in the dark seemed a bit rushed but I did like he went right back to 1960, found Sadie and realized he couldn't do it over and over again just to lose her. People may think it was unrealistic for him to all the sudden realize he couldn't be with her, but at the same time, he just did. It was a bittersweet ending. I was for some reason, thinking she would have somehow realized who he was at the end (in dreams or something) but I like that he seemed familar but not really sure because in reality, she didn't know him. I will say I loved Franco and Sarah. They were fantastic together. I loved how he mouthed "I love you" at the school and how he kept a hold of her hand as they were trying to get to Lee. They were wonderful and full of charm and fluff. I also liked that they represented the time period well. Nothing like suits and fedoras. The men were looking sharp. Off to read the book for sure! I would love to see more of this from Hulu. So glad I finally sat down and watch it all! :)
  5. Saw it and loved it. It is everything and more. You think you know OJ but watching this, you really get a whole sense of who he is. And you are drawn in from the start. The people they were able to get and interviews are amazing. The timeline from his rise in college, to the trial and to his fall in the last 6 years is something out of Shakespeare. I can't even describe how well done it is. It really is the best thing 30 for 30 as done and ESPN. There was so much more they could even tell and there are things you just want more of, but this is the most comprehensive and introspective look you see into his life. You will not regret watching and wish you could watch it all in one sitting. Riveting and Engrossing. A must see!
  6. Did you notice when Chad was by himself at the small hottub? at the awesome hotel with his feet in the water how they kept panning over his body, stopping at his chest? It was sooo bizarre. Like they want us to think he's on something or whatever. I think it's both creepy and hilarious! Like here's all his veins popping out! ALL THE RAGE! That protein he's drinking must be juiced! HAHA!
  7. Omg I totally agree with all these points but especially the LAST one. I don't think so! And was that his first on camera too?? I was like who the heck is this dude! If you don't think Jordan is the ONE at the end, well hate to break it to you but he's gotta be. I mean she is ALL over him and needs to make sure he's into her because she doesn't want to look like a fool if he rejects her. (of course if he does, she's gonna be balls to the wall crying) She reminds me of Graham with DeAnna's season. She wanted this guy so badly and he was trying so hard to be into her and he wasn't. Not saying Jordan isn't into her but damn, give the boy a second and just talk. Though I feel she sees red flags with him and she's choosing to ignore him because she wants to screw him. Own it girl! I like Luke in that he seems genuine and way too mature for this show. I will say that date was cute but I always laugh, I set this up. I did this, I did that. Yup Jo-Jo you did it. I will say you are seeing so much producer manipulation this season. Chad is the perfect everything for this show and they are just going with it in spades. That end made me laugh out loud! The creepy music with his nails down the glass. Like WTF? My goodness they know what a farce it is. I would love to see Jo-Jo watching this now! I love how Alex was like, he threatened Jordan and the first thing I know she thought was, "Oh HELLZ no he did not JUST threaten my boyfriend!" Sorry he may be aggressive and a crazy pot but you know he was gone the second Alex told her that. No one messes with her Jordan :)
  8. Sometimes I think Evan has a hard on for Chad but this is all about Jo-Jo so.... Again Chad is a douchnozzle but I have to agree all the boys are antagonizing him and caring WAYYYY too much about him. Though again Chad just keeps playing the part so they kinda do too. Knowing how fake this show is, you know they are all just being fed all this stuff. Evan is the perfect plant because he does what he's told. Go run to Chris, talk to Jo-Jo about Chad. Really Jo-Jo it's ok if you want to friend James. He's adorable but she's clearly not into him. I will say that kiss was long after his "song." Oh geez, can any of this actually be real? And once again Jordan is feeding her crap. He's so fake. And has his hair gotten bigger? How do you keep that all on top of your head?? It's the Chad show till it isn't. Let's bask in the crazy.
  9. What a riveting series! I waited to watch the first 2 parts so I could FF through commercials but watched the others wit it because its just so well done and I have enjoyed watching the journey of these characters. I really hope these actors all get well noticed after this, especially Malachi Kirby, he was magnificent. I loved the filming and the music. The production was clearly well thought out and made much more of a modern audience. There were times I was squirming and it really shows that they spared no grit and darkness. I think overall the first 2 parts were amazing. I hope and suspect this will win many awards and the cast will be well known on the award circuit. Side note: Never much cared for Jonathan Rhys Meyers but wow! He really made me loathe him. Cannot say enough on how much I have really been captivated and blown away by all the actors. Jumping on the shallow bus as well....Regé-Jean Page (Chicken George) beautiful! And of course Malachi Kirby, is gorgeous.
  10. Oh you sucked me in this season Bachelorette! (And it's not really Jo-Jo)! Well done ABC to make Chad the center the clear villain and feed him the best stuff. He knows his role and he plays it so well! His liners were hilarious and I like the fact that he sees it for what it is. She's hot, I'm hot, let's just get this "real" thing over with and go so what we wanna do. Don't get me wrong, he's a big douche who really needs to stop playing so hard to be bad but he causes so much hilarity and craziness while trolling the dudes and it makes me laugh hard. (And like many of you, I do AGREE he's right with what he says, he's just a big ole dick while saying it.) Everyone lives in a bubble so I don't blame the guys for being so insecure and mad about Chad. There's not much else to do but talk about everyone else. (and they really are worse than woman!) I missed Luke's date but he's sexy. Oh Jordan's hair when it flopped when they were doing the engagement dance was horrid. I thought he was easy on the eyes but then his hair just gets in the way and I don't like him much anymore. And the only reason Jo-Jo put him on the back burner this week is because she was becoming too obvious how much she wants him. She knew she had to dial it back. It's the Chad show till she sends his butt home and then the focus will shift. And dang Chad, you need some anger management clearly after seeing next week. You are a mess, a hot mess but you are a mess. (He can just stop talking) Oh and the SportsNation date was awesome because I was there maybe a week or two before they filmed there. Wish I ran into that situation. I would have DIED! And Jo-Jo is cute but she has blinders on with the men, clearly she's not looking for LOVE, she's looking for a HOT lay. Nothing wrong with that, I just hate that they pretend.
  11. late to this party but I LOVE this movie. I know it's Hallmark but SO good! I love James Wolk. He really has a great ease about him and I love the fact that he does lots of different roles. And he needs to play something beside Kyle Chandler because they look like they could be brothers. (very similar in the acting realm as well!)
  12. Thanks for sharing! I think it's interesting they have been sitting on this movie and won't say anything. Hallmark, social media exists so you can't wait to sit on things, haha! I am curious to read the rundown of the movie. Like I said previous, I'm not a fan of her. She's a little wooden and stiff so it will be interesting how she does against Dan (who Hallmark is going to promote the heck out of) I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the last ones to air in the Christmas rotation. I am still shocked Dan decided to do a Hallmark movie since he seems more of a gritty type of actor and not so much want to stay in that "box" of fluff and predictability. I am not complaining since I get to see him in a modern film which is exciting! I hope it's decent. Please!
  13. I saw this! And can I just say...I'm disappointed. I didn't like the movie she did last Xmas...Merry Matrimony. It was badly acted, no chemistry and just wasn't good. Of course I will watch but she wouldn't be my pick to be his love interest. I can't wait to hear what Erin is doing! At least we have some information on the two of them! I was wondering when they would spill on their Xmas movies!
  14. Jo-Jo would have gotten down on the floor with Jordan if it was allowed. He's very good looking but sadly he knows it. The only thing that bugged was during the first impression rose where a piece of hair was falling out of place. I'm all for good looking hair but cut it back dude! She was very obvious with who she liked so I think the season while, dramatic will be pretty much be the same 4 guys or so. Chad is a perfect contestant for this show. I do like that he's calling men out for their crap (not like he doesn't have his own but still). I get so tired of fakety-fake people but name of the game. I like Luke but he probably has his own issues. The men are pretty though, I will give them that. Jo-Jo doesn't seem to be too drama herself. And if you don't give people food and lots of booze to drink, there will be drunkenness! Maybe I will watch more this season or wait till the finale...
  15. Oh yes! Loved Some Kind of Wonderful. So underrated in my eyes! Did you read that John did it because he didn't get the original ending to Pretty in Pink that he wanted? So interesting!! (Did miss seeing a boombox over the head, as Say Anything is my ultimate favorite 80s movie :)) Thanks for the update on the movie situation. They both have been silent on twitter for quite some time so I'm wondering if there's some big announcement coming. I don't think it's going to be an WCTH Christmas movie since I follow the blogs and Facebook and someone would have posted if they were filming there at the set. (Though maybe they haven't started and going right from the movie into filming Season 4) I don't know if I could get into either of them having different love interests, haha! I do like Erin's movies but it will be interesting to see Dan in a Hallmark one.I never thought he would actually do one to be honest so I'm curious to see what they give him.
  16. Did everyone get the 80's movie references in Date with Love? The Hughes high school, Watts as the girl who is secretly in love with her best friend, keeping with her original shoes with her pretty dress (Duckie form Pretty Pink) and her white Keds (homage to Dirty Dancing?). I thought it was cute. I'm not a fan of Shanee so she didn't really impress and Andrew Walker is a pretty boy but that hair did him no favors. It is one of those feel good but pretty forgettable once it's over. It's not a knock but more of a fluff rom-rom that you enjoy but don't need to spend too much time thinking about it. I stayed at the hotel that it was set in so that was fun to see it. Vancouver is all over the scenes with these movies but I love how they had to have a shot of the location every 5 seconds. I know we are in the high school, at the hotel and so on. Oh for goodness sakes though, the green screen for when she's with Mr. Walsh at "sunset" was overpowering. I would have much rather they shot at a park in the afternoon. That was just soooo terrible! This wasn't my favorite but it was an enjoyable 2 hours. Bring on the Christmas in July movies!! Still waiting for Erin and Daniel's movie(s)? announcements for Christmas! (I am a bit obsessed with When Calls the Heart but I digress!)
  17. I know people think it's on track but....I CANT WITH THIS SHOW. So Jo did marry that abusive ex? I'm confused...and it's not her real name. Oh geez. I will say I loved Alex about growing up and being a man. Get that girl that isnt dark and twisted. And the end with Mere and the new doctor. And now Amelia...seriously does everyone have to be related somehow?? I mean everyone is married, slept with and hurt each other so many times over that it's all just one serious big CF. Ben actually was kinda awesome. What's the deal with Avery and what's her name? Goodness, I don't even mind that I can't think of her at the moment. I didn't watch much of this season and I can say I didnt miss a beat. At least a meteor didn't fall in on the church...but that could still happen.
  18. I'm sorry but why did the show spent wayyyy too long for Jason to not be Jason just for him to be back to Jason? I liked the Jason that didn't kiss butt to Sonny and who didn't want any part of the mobster life. They re-made him (AGAIN!) but I didn't mind it because Billy Miller does cute and funny and much more light Jason. Maybe I'm bitter because Liz helped him get back to life and she's just out of the picture (I get for the sake of storytelling) but now he's all into Sam? Ugh, he was NOT into her and now he is??!! Explain! And no, I hate when stories change for the sake of the stories. The characters didn't so don't change them to suit the story. Gahhhh!!!!! And Franco is weird I'm sorry. I don't want Liz anywhere near him. And Julian and Alexis, who cares? Who is that psychiatrist with what's her name Police Chief? They are at least kinda hot. I'm so over this show and yet I'm watching it! This show is terrible and there are too many characters and storylines! And people I don't like, haha! But I will always come back and see what happens (don't have to watch much!) And what is going on with Hayden and Nick? Are they into each other still? Is there a love/hate/angry sex thing going on there? I kinda missed it. I don't get that either but whatever to keep the characters on the canvas I guess. Ok, rant done I think until I find another big reason to gripe. However you feel about Rebecca Herbst, I don't think she deserves to be thrown some strange storyline. Give her a hot guy, 'comon writers!!!
  19. I enjoyed it even though we knew the Hakeem and Laura wedding was DOA. I had a feeling that Anika would need to marry Lucius wedding because she got served right BEFORE. But then I had a feeling based on previews that some crazy wedding was taking place and it wasn't Cookie and Lucious. God help me but Cookie and Lucious are freaking fire together, both good and bad. Their little conversation on the sofa was hilarious. I think Terrance Howard is crazy but can he play both the devil and redeemable all in the same episode. Pretty remarkable. I think Rhonda is a goner because Anika's story has so much more legs and it's a ripple effect for the Lyons for her to be sticking around. I don't think both could have survived. Part of me wishes Anika didn't push Rhonda and there was something else in play at the end as some have thought maybe would make it even more dark and twisted. This is very Shakespeare so I think they they are going very much that route but I think the show is so crazy why not go a little more crazy. And of a very superficial note but my goodness the men of this show get hotter and hotter every episode! (Fan me down for Trai! Damn! That Grace is a lucky girl! And she's gorgeous herself) This show kinda lost its way a bit this season but I will be there come season 3. The music pulls me in and I love seeing the family get along. The push and pull of their dynamic is interesting and they always do it so well. Bring on the crazy!!
  20. I'm going to bring another Lacey movie out there...loved "The Color Of Rain!" The one where she and her love interest both lose their spouses to cancer and fall in love. It was wonderful. She had the best chemistry with Warren Christie. One of my favorites by her. Will always watch it.
  21. Agreed, I didn't think they would go together but they really do. I think it was effortless for them. They play off each other well and they have a great chemistry to make you feel like it makes sense. I do think the ending is rushed but like all Hallmark movies, all friends are together with the couple in the end. And I totally loved Ed Asner. He didn't have much to to do here, but he's just such an old school guy that you can't help but love him. And yes, I would be interested to see what Erin and Daniel end up doing. Like I said, it would be hard for them to do separate movies (they could but I only seem that as being together, I know, but it's them! :) ) but it can happen (contemporary would be awesome). I know they shoot those movies in like 2 weeks. Amazing.
  22. Finally watched "All of my Heart" that came out awhile back. The one with Lacey and Brennan where they share a house together and fix it up. Super cute. Alot of fans want to turn it into a tv series. I think it would be cute but I'm sure Hallmark would have said something by now. They are really cute together and I have always enjoyed seeing them in movies. I really like Lacey. She's the perfect Hallmark girl. Cute, funny and just all around a great actress for the network. "Date with Love" does not sound too appealing to me. Andrew Walker sure does look different but I might tune in. (love him but him and Shannee don't look like a couple I can get behind) I am wayyyy too excited about the Hallmark Christmas movies though. My heart is all in for Dan and Erin from "When Calls the Heart" so I'm really hoping that they do a movie together. I would assume some list would be released soon as they usually film alot of them in August. I'm keeping a close eye on Erin's twitter for any updates on her film.
  23. I was a patient of Shriner's for years....(leg braces) and they really are amazing. And do all that for no money is even a greater feat. We had a location near us and I really appreciate all their work...but the infomercial was terrible. Carly was spewing all this "information" and it just wasn't organic. They easily could have a scene where Jason and Liz are discussing the hospital...(sorry, not loving Jason right now, Billy is much better at being comedic and since he learned he's Jason, he's played himself a bit too tense and confused) (ok the argument could be made that's just BM) Anyways I appreciate the Shriner's plug and that they are recognizing this wonderful place but sponsorship's in shows are getting outrageous! *looking at you Folgers on Hallmark Channel* This show just has bad writing though, I can't help but think that a fanfiction is SO much better than this! And oy, this bi-polar storyline is gonna be a little out of touch me thinks...
  24. I read it and groaned...Meredith has had everything thrown on her and now this? Color me disappointed. I feel it may have some undertones to ER and the whole Lucy/Carter stabbing and that always gets me! It could set up some great stuff but I feel this show just throws so much at these people all the time! And count me as I think it's going to be Owen who does something to her.
