Guest October 27, 2019 Share October 27, 2019 I’m watching A Merry Christmas Match and I just can’t stand Hallmark attempting to remove all sex appeal from all their actors. I wonder how often someone has to fix their hair every time it gets messed up. The styling on the male leads best friend was particularly bad. The story is fine and I really like that the city is clearly going to win but otherwise I find it bland. Also the misunderstanding was more ridiculous than most since it was obvious he was literally about to tell her. I liked Sweet Mountain Christmas a little more in that it held my interest but that was mostly Megan Hilty. Although I her hair and makeup were distracting. Link to comment

Jill was great but Hallmark did one of those things where they have two guys, one the ruse and the other the lead. They already spoil themselves with casts lists and posters so I know she was going to end up with the boring billionaire. The ruse doctor seemed more interesting and lively so when they introduced him early set him up and then sidelined him for the billionaire guy, I was pretty much over the movie. I feel the same way. The cute and charming doctor who loves kids would have been a better lead than the boring billionaire who doesn’t like Christmas. I like Jill Wagner but found Abbey to annoying, whiny and judgemental. Edited October 27, 2019 by Guest Link to comment

I actually paused the dvr at that point, because I had to talk that scene out with my wife. I mean, Victoria is introduced just as a “family friend”- a fact that she doesn’t dispute. She also doesn’t argue when he says that the trip was basically for business. Honestly, I don’t even know if Victoria even clocked that he and Corey were together. Plus, their friends are right there, and can corroborate his story. I guess I give them credit for not having Corey just see them hug or something at the party- like in every other one of these movies- but still, that had to be the flimsiest twist in quite a while. Otherwise, Matt McCoy has basically become Sam Waterston, which is weird-but now I want to see Hallmark’s “Love & Order: Marital Intent.” 2 3 Link to comment

kirinan October 27, 2019 Share October 27, 2019 (edited) Another list of new movies coming to the Hallmark channels, Lifetime, OWN, and Netflix. I have to say, I'm very excited to see that Erica Durance will be in a couple of movies. I adore her--and so does my husband; she's his TV girlfriend, and I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm guessing he'll break his "No watch Christmas movies EVER" rule for her. ETA: Does anyone know who played the cute doctor in Christmas Kisses & Mistletoe Kisses last night? He's not listed on IMDB, and he looks so, so familiar to me. I liked the movie well enough, btw. Yes, it was lower energy and predictable, but I needed that last night, so I was good with it. I thought from the beginning, though, that Doctor Cutie was a better match with the SVP. Edited October 27, 2019 by kirinan Link to comment

I actually remembered him from this TV show from several years ago called "Against the Wall" - which had Andrew Walker as a recurring character. Apparently he was also the lead on "Big Wolf on Campus" - a Canadian TV show. I agree that I really liked his doctor character but he seemed to bounce back quickly with Kate.

I am not familiar with Megan Hilty but her face looked too plumped and botoxed, and her hair? Ugh. I know she was from a town in TN if I recall correctly but her script must have been easy to memorize-every sentence included an “oh my goodness!” The plot was very slow paced and it was hard to keep watching. 1 Link to comment

I just finished and I ended up enjoyed it way more than I expected. A lot of it made me roll my eyes but the actors managed to make it work. It got a lot of bonus points from me for having Marla Sokoloff’s character handle things like a reasonable adult. Shared hotel rooms and secretive phone calls but she never over-reacted or jumped to any wrong conclusions. All the things that happened on the road trip were so absurd that it shouldn’t have worked but somehow, for me, it did. Edited October 30, 2019 by Guest Link to comment
redpencil October 28, 2019 Share October 28, 2019 I watched a movie on UP from tonight called A Christmas Movie Christmas (I think). Not the greatest ever, but parts were hilarious. Two sisters get magically stuck in a Christmas movie. So they purposely go hard on all the Christmas movie tropes, with the sisters actually referencing them multiple times because the one sister is super into cheesy Christmas movies (and of course the other can't stand them). The romance storylines were pretty blah, but I enjoyed it poking fun at its own genre. 1 1 Link to comment

It goes to show that chemistry is subjective, because I actually felt the exact opposite, and came away confused why people wanted her with the doctor (I had read comments here before watching it). I did like the actor who played the doctor though, and would love to see him as the lead in another movie. Speaking of secondary characters, I also really liked the actress who played the best friend in A Merry Christmas Match and would love to see more of her.

I had heard a while ago that a movie was being shot there, but didn’t know which one. But the second I saw the “town,” I yelled out, “Hey, that’s River Place!” and scared my husband.

Kaoteek October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 Very slowly getting into those Xmas movies, using them as a palate cleanser between the last few horror/Halloween movies i'm watching right now. So far, I only watched a couple of new releases : - Sweet Mountain Christmas - not unwatchable (I've seen much worse, as far as Christmas movies w/ a country vibe go), but very bland and flat overall. - Santa Girl - a teen romance with Jennifer Stone as Santa(Barry Bostwick)'s daughter going to human college in order to escape her arranged marriage with Jack Frost's son. Clearly a low-budget effort (the cinematography and the elves' cheap plastic ears made that obvious), but somehow, it worked for me, much more than most Hallmark or Lifetime rom-coms. Probably because the laid-back, self-aware tone, the unapologetically magical world depicted, and the easy chemistry between Stone and her romantic lead, reminded me of fun Disney-coms of old, and of older, less tropey and cookie-cutter Xmas tv movies. 1 Link to comment
ShelleySue October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 I was bothered by something in Lifetime's No Time Like Christmas. The Fletcher character was a widower. Not much was said about his latet wife except when Emma was talking to Lola (Fletcher's daughter). It appears that the late wife/mother had been a nice person. But everyone kept saying that Emma was the love of Fletcher's life. He said that he had never stopped loving her, etc. I realize that that's the reality of relationships in which one person lost someone to death, but it was just uncomfortable for me hearing that. Was anyone else bothered by it? Link to comment

I guess this one is for next year? I kinda want it this year but I wouldn't mind shuffling it with my watchlist for Christmas Chronicles 2 and Kat Graham's movie next year. So last night I caught A Christmas Movie Christmas and Love Alaska. I liked them Love Alaska was a nice easygoing movie I could relax with and I appreciated how they sidestepped the usual flashbacks with the male lead having PTSD and it made it more visceral so you can sort of feel what he's going through. The ending came abruptly after all the back and forth. I would have loved to have seen a more dramatic confession of their feelings to make the buildup worth it, but there it is. A Christmas Movie Christmas gave me a few chuckles and I loved seeing them poke fun at the christmas movie tropes. They even added a little lesson in there which was nice. It was a bit goofy at times. In fact, I couldn't help comparing it to Lifetime's Christmas Perfection (which I have a renewed appreciation for this year) which also poked fun at the christmas movie tropes but did it in a more believable and especially charming way. Even when it was goofy, it was funny and entertaining. ACMC was a little over the top and the acting was a bit cheesetastic at times. Speaking of UP, the trailer for Christmas in Paris has dropped. I'm here for this Harlequin movie cheesefest! This was suggested next on the list but I have no idea what channel it will be on. I'd watch the heck out of that one, too. It's funny how Hallmark decided not to do a royal movie this year but every other channel has princes, earl's and stuff coming out the woodwork! 2 Link to comment
