Midnight Clear (2006)
True to Life
What a true to life story of the millions of people who suffer around the Christmas season with loneliness, depression, alcoholism etc and how a small act of kindness can change everything. I found myself drawn to this story and it's characters. The plot may seem a bit slow but come on folks, this isn't an action story.
My only problem with this film was Mary Thornton's acting. Very poor quality almost to the point of being annoying. I really didn't feel her emotions and couldn't connect with her character.
Stephen Baldwin and K Callan did a wonderful job! Thank you Netflix for once again recommending a perfect choice. FYI, this movie probably shouldn't be watched around Christmas time by anyone having problems.
Hugo (2011)
Bring a pillow & jammies. This one's a sleeper.
So entirely disappointed by the most boring movie ever. I kept twisting and turning and ho-humming in my seat waiting and begging for something to happen. Nothing ever did. Sure there were a few scenes where the 3D looked great. I wasn't looking for a special effects movie, I was looking for the story...... and the story I hated. The story was so geared towards movie buffs, old movies; there is hardly a child that will understanding nor care about the plot. I almost fell asleep. I had such high hopes for this one. I didn't cry, I didn't chuckle.... just watched, and watched, and watched. It felt like it would never end. After awhile all I could think of is the $20 I spent plus the $20 for popcorn and soda and what I could have done with my $40.
