The Blacklist: The Bear Mask (2022)
Worst worst worst episode in 9 seasons
I can't believe anyone in the production of this series approved this ridiculously absurd episode. Absolute garbage. I watched about 35 minutes of it, then deleted it. Terrible. I don't know how the cast got through it. They can eliminate this episode and it would never be missed!
Single All the Way (2021)
I loved this movie
So, I've read through quite a few reviews. This is a Christmas movie, not up for an Oscar, not in the theaters, just a Christmas TV movie. I'm a big fan of Christmas movies and I thought it checked all the boxes. Sweet love story, family traditions, festive, sentimental, and predictable. I watch Christmas movies to feel good and put a smile on my face. Barry Bostwick, Jennifer Coolidge, Kathy Najimy and Michael Urie are great in the starring roles. If all these things are what you like in a Christmas movie, you'll love this one.
Christmas Down Under (2021)
Worst movie ever
Christmas or otherwise, this is the worst movie ever. It looks like it was filmed in my finished basement using my neighbors as actors. One gentleman has rotten bottom teeth, making it impossible to concentrate on the movie. Music so loud you can't hear the dialog. I changed the channel after a half hour. Terrible.
A Christmas Exchange (2020)
One of the best if 2020
I'm a lover of all things Christmas and that includes Christmas movies. I watch as many as I possibly can every year. Because of the pandemic, I started watching in October and this was the last movie I had taped. What a pleasant surprise! This is a fun, building love story. No animosity between the protagonists, just a good old fashioned love story with Christmas as a backdrop. Molly and Patrick are both longing for a new life and find it by swapping homes for Christmas. After texting and emailing for days, they start falling in love. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and am adding it to my favorites list.
The Birdcage (1996)
Funniest movie ever
Nathan Lane, Robin Williams and Hank Azaria have all displayed their tremendous talent as actors in the movie. I've watched this movie at least 35 times and laugh out loud throughout, every single time. Nathan Lane's portrayal of Albert is priceless, his facial expressions alone are hysterical. As Armonf, Robin Williams' timing is so on point he was made for this part. Hank Azaria plays the house maid Agadot and is the gem of the trio. His accent is endearing and unwavering. Every scene Azaria is in he shines. The film does not exploit the gay aspect of the plot, it's respectful and admirable. Mike Nichols really won out on this one. His best work. The story flows smoothly with a distinguished sweetness. The premise if the movie is of a young man Val, telling his gay parents, Armand and Albert, that he wants to marry the daughter of a high profile politician. Expecting the politician and his wife won't accept his parents, Val and his parents try to put on a "straight" front when they meet. Best comedy ever.
The Christmas Secret (2014)
Best Hallmark Christmas Movie of 2014
I agree with bookandcandle. This was the best movie this Christmas. Yes, it's somewhat predictable, it's sweet and that's why I watched it. I expect a TV Christmas movie to have all the usual elements. Romance, sappy plot, heartfelt story and of course, the happy ending. If I'm looking for a blockbuster movie, I'll go to the movie theater, especially this time of year with award season coming up. At Christmastime I want a feel-good, happily-ever after story. It's entertaining for me.
The Christmas Secret is a well written, well acted movie, it's not too sicky-sweet and the story has some surprises. You root for the lead character Christine, and want things to go well for her. The supporting characters are caring and believable, and the little town is what you think of when you dream about Christmas.
This will be part of my Christmas tradition for as long as it's on TV, then I'll buy the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Home by Christmas (2006)
for lovers of Christmas movies
If you love Christmas movies like I do, this is one of the best. It's a feel good movie with an interesting story. Linda Hamilton plays Julie, whose husband leaves her for a younger woman. Over time she looses everything and is forced to live in her car. Her daughter goes overseas for extended schooling but makes the decision to come home for Christmas. Now Julie scrabbles to find a place for both of them to spend the Holidays together. Julie makes new friends and slowly gets back on her feet. Her friend Max is a great character and they hep each other out. Julie's new relationship with Selma, a woman who has been in the same homeless situation, proves to be her lifesaver. It's a riches-to-rags-to-riches story, one of my favorites concepts especially during the holidays.
The Proposition (2005)
Authentic western
I'm a lover of westerns and this is one of the best. Yeah, it's bloody and violent as I'm sure the early days of Australia were just that. The grittiness of the environment make the movie feel authentic, you can almost smell the people who lived during that era. Ray Winstone delivers his best as the tough lawman with a conscience, and Emily Watson balances him as his proper English wife. John Hurt portrays the bounty hunter in an eccentric way, displaying his classic training as an actor. The movie doesn't romanticize the western life, it shows it as it most likely was, dirty, hard and dangerous. The story will lead you to a somewhat predictable outcome and the characters involved along the way keep you interested to the end.
