Meryl Streep is a good actress and maybe one of the greats when she retires. No matter what she does or how great she acts in any given project, I will probably never be a fan. I also don’t understand how everyone bows down to her when she appears at an award show, let alone … More Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Unless you were living under a rock or on the moon, I’m sure you saw what happened to the world in 2020. Life as we knew it changed this year, and someone needed to document it. Netflix stepped up to the task and decided to take all the serious events we all experienced in one … More Death to 2020 (2020)
A Very Country Christmas was a lot better than I expected. Even though we have seen this story arc play out numerous times before, this particular one had a lot of charm behind it, and the chemistry between the two leads felt real. Zane (Greyston Holt) is a country superstar. He’s tired of everything and … More A Very Country Christmas (2017)
At first glance, A California Christmas is another cheesy romance holiday movie. On one level, it is completely cheesy, yet on another level was really a great story. Written by Lauren Swickard, who starred in the lead as Callie, alongside her real-life husband Josh Swickard, who plays Joseph. Their love story may be the main … More A California Christmas (2020)
For the entire month of December, I have had little to no say in the Christmas movie selections my wife has chosen. However, when I noticed Broadcasting Christmas on Netflix, starring Dean Cain and Melissa Joan Hart, I convinced her that we need to watch the film since I am very familiar with both of … More Broadcasting Christmas (2016)
Operation Christmas Drop would have been a successful tale all on its own. Netflix upped the stakes and added a dramatic love story into the mix to get the casual viewer interested in this story. I was on board with the Christmas Drop from the very beginning. However, I wasn’t interested in the love story … More Operation Christmas Drop (2020)
The more I watch, and the more I write, I look for certain things in movies that make or break a story for me. I’ve never afraid to like the cheesy ones and the predictable ones while also standing up proudly against the blockbusters adored by so many. Christmas with a View worked for me … More Christmas with a View (2018)
In case you didn’t know, here’s a fun fact about my movie collection. Growing up, we didn’t own many movies on VHS; however, by the time DVDs came out, I was a teenager with my own spending money. I received a DVD player on my birthday and five movies to start my collection. Hope Floats … More Hope Floats (1998)
When my wife suggested we watch Jack the Giant Slayer, I will admit I was a bit skeptical. Then I looked up the cast and said, this can’t be bad. Headlined by Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Eleanor Tomlinson, and Stanley Tucci. The cast and story did not disappoint, even if the CGI had some questionable … More Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)
In some marriages, couples argue over chores or money. In my house, our debates are usually centred around movies, and sometimes they run deep. Deep Impact will be one of my wife’s favourite movies of all-time, yet I was never on that bandwagon. I am a proud member of the Armageddon fan club because I … More Deep Impact (1998)
