ShelleySue August 31, 2022 Share August 31, 2022 Who has the Hallmark Movie Checklist App? I do and have always thought that it was a brilliant marketing idea because I'm compulsive and felt the need to watch every single movie so that I could mark it "watched" on the app. If I didn't watch a movie I actually felt like I was falling behind and I felt anxious. Well lately I haven't felt that way. I am still recording movies compulsively but am no longer franticly watching them. I have no idea how many unwatched ones are sitting on my DVR. I'm sure I'll get around to watching most of them -- probably before the holiday ones start. But I no longer feel the pressure.

When I first started watching Hallmarks, I found different things attracted me to different movies. While all the stories were lame-ish, they weren't all bad. I quickly learned that certain actresses can ruin a movie just by being in it, and some misunderstandings at the 1.5 hour mark made me regret the time I had already spent, but I liked most of them anyway. When I retired in 2020 as covid was full-blown, I had more time to watch the movies, and as Countdown to Christmas came, I watched a lot more and more importantly, I discovered this forum, which quickly became more fun than watching the movies. I could come here and join others in rants about stupid misunderstandings, terrible actresses, hot actors, unrealistic houses or too many coats. Then I found most of the 'Loveuary,' 'Spring Fling,' 'Summer of Love,' 'Fall Into Love,' 'Harvest Fest' movies were duds, which led to a disappointing Countdown to Christmas 2021. I still check W Network every morning, OLN every evening, and CityTV every Friday night to see if the reruns are worth watching, but most of them aren't. For the Saturday premieres, either my American friends have already seen the movie and didn't comment or didn't like it, or we all get it at the same time and still, we don't comment or don't like. (The exception being the whale movie a couple of weeks ago that seemed to generate a lot of comments.) Maybe I'm just over it, but at this point, I enjoy this site more than I do most of the movies.

Oh gosh, the movie you're referring to with Ariele Kebbel was something like A Christmas Witness. His character in that was an incredibly unlikely "hero", and the absolute opposite of what he played in Autumn Dreams -- almost no redeeming qualities at all except he was good at hanging Christmas lights. When the leads had the major smooch at the end, you nonetheless knew that the relationship had no chance. (I just confirmed that Christmas Witness was an Ion movie.

It probably seems familiar because for some season they like to cast Cindy Busby in these nature hike movies. She was looking for waterfalls to photograph (with reluctant male guide) in one movie, and looking for eagles (with reluctant male guide) in another, and this one was Yosemite (with reluctant male guide). They are practically identical. ETA: Whoops, my mistake. Cindy Busby wasn't in the eagle movie. The premise was still the same, though Edited September 4, 2022 by Suzysite 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/187/#findComment-7633358
bankerchick September 4, 2022 Share September 4, 2022 I am rewatching Dating the Delaneys and am reminded of a very unfortunate fact of these movies: a really unlikeable lead actress is in way more of the movie than a really likeable lead actor, and can sometimes make me wonder whether it's worth rewatching the movie. Also, her 'famous' salted caramel chocolate chip cookies don't look good at all. They look like something that might be healthy. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/187/#findComment-7633511

They reach blindfolded into the bin, pull one out, and then flip a coin as to location, cutesy business, how bitchy or clueless the female lead gets to be, and what misunderstanding will cause the brief conflict. Throw in whatever "world famous" food they will talk about and bingo, another Hallmark bland, boring offering. 3 1 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/187/#findComment-7633532
Pallida September 4, 2022 Share September 4, 2022 I was glad they mentioned Ansel Adams pretty much immediately in Marry Me in Yosemite. That might be the only real positive. Not even the videography did justice to Yosemite. Taking pictures in Yosemite on a deadline isn’t the way to get the best quality - weather and season matter. The “great” photos shown through the movie were amateur at best. I think I took better pictures in 8th grade on a disposable camera. It seemed like there was a fair amount of off trail journeying. A conservationist isn’t going to support that! I once had a park ranger tell me we love our national parks to death - and going off trail is a perfect example of that. And like stated above, there is nothing cute about hiking unprepared. So many people die because of that. Or they need massive coordinated search and rescue teams to come in. 1 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/187/#findComment-7633760
MerBearHou September 4, 2022 Share September 4, 2022 (edited) I just watched The Sweetest Heart which I’ve seen several times and really like. For some reason, this time I decided to Google and see if Chris McNally is married. Imagine my surprise when I read that he and his co-star Julie Gonzalo have been together ever since this movie and they just had a baby in June this year. Knowing this, it made it extra-cool to watch their expressions and what they said to each other, just watching them fall in love in real life. Gorgeous duo — they are two I always seem to enjoy. Both have a low-key energy that I like.

bankerchick September 5, 2022 Share September 5, 2022 Watching All of My Heart. I am no Lacey Chabert fan but this movie is not awful. For a change, it's the guy who overhears half a comment, jumps to conclusions, and goes back to his big-city life without bothering to talk to the other party. And the guy who plays the hardware store owner (Daniel Cudmore) needs to get his own movie. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/187/#findComment-7635026

Agreed — love that character — his wry humor is great and wow, he is tall! Reminds me of Dave Collette who adds so much to every movie he’s in as an important side character. I often have to rewind to re-listen to what Dave says — he is so quick, so funny, so talented.

Cetacean September 6, 2022 Share September 6, 2022 Watched the movie about the painting last night (I can never member Hallmark titles, they are all pretty bland and interchangeable). It really was pretty good. Not riveting enough to keep me up to see the end (I DVR'd it) but pleasant enough and a different story, for sure. Acting was fine and there were two (not one, but two) deaf characters although they had scant moments of screen time. There was a nice little educational moment where the Irish lady pointed out that signing is different by country which I didn't know. The scenes in Ireland were absolutely stunning even in the (frequent) rain. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/187/#findComment-7636014

I am watching December Bride, a movie I actually like, but I recall someone on this site once saying that the words 'December Bride' were uttered way too many times. In watching it now, I can't help but notice that 5 minutes barely goes by without someone saying it. In fact, in the two minutes it just took me to type this, it has once again been mentioned. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/187/#findComment-7638242

It makes sense now that I'm reading the reactions to his movie Bros out of the TIFF film festival. He and the movie are getting great reviews. I'm going to miss him but I wish him well. 2 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/187/#findComment-7642922
