CMA Country Christmas (2023)
Another Disappointing Year 2023
Ok so I watched this on bbc 4 and it was exactly 34mins long and felt like it was cut to ribbons and didnt feel very cohesive as a show/tv special.
The sound quality/acustics in the venue and on stage were very tinny and poor and the vocals were drowned out by the music in the back ground.
The high lights were Jordan Davis the lows were Amy Grant struggling through Grown Up Christmas List and the war and treaty dressed up like a family sized box of after eights.
The audience looked bored when the camera panned in and they added an applause backing track when clearly no audience member in shot was applauding or cheering
It seems to diminish in star quality every year and the term country music christmas has to now include gospel and interperative fiddle dancing or what ever it was dressed as a grinch 😂
Anyways Merry Christmas and watxh something else 👍
A Storm for Christmas (2022)
Overly Sentimental Tripe
Well... I have made it to episode 5 and ONLY fell asleep three times..
First off I absolutely loved the first season of Home for Christmas starring our amazing Ida Elise Broch, this girl can act but she was reduced to nothing more than a boring side character in this absolute snooze fest!
It felt extremely Cliche and looks like it was written for the American market due to its never ending soppiness and wanna be love actually kinda vibes, I was just not biting despite a cast of fairly decent actors in it.
It also looked a lot in parts that the snow effect was actually washing up bubbles, I don't get why this was needed as I thought this was ridiculously unnecessary given that this is supposed to be filmed in Oslo (at Christmas) (in a snow storm)
I think it fails to capture any sort of feeling or rapport with any of the characters as they are only transiting through an airport terminal and it doesn't have the lasting longevity or Charachter development of Home For Christmas.
This series doesn't really go anywhere and I think I could have done with as season 3 of Home for Christmas instead of this sickly sweet Americanised Garbage.
Sit. Stay. Love. (2021)
Another LIFELESS LIFETIME MOVIE!!
Another LIFELESS LIFETIME MOVIE!!
I just cant with these Lifetime movies anymore!
The lead actress looked and acted like a spoilt know all 13 year old girl, I couldn't stand her, was hoping for her to go flying off that bike into a hedge!1
What should have been a fun romp finding home for some absolutely gorgeous animals just plodded along in a very strange way as the pacing was just all over the place.
I was bored to tears with this movie that I kept flicking through waiting for something to happen so I just gave up.
The other actors were soooo bad.
Skip this Garbage, there are so many other Great Christmas Movies to choose from, try Jolly Good Christmas I loved that one this year from Hallmark.
Santa Bootcamp (2022)
This Was Awful!
To start I am NOT a lover of Festive/Christmas movies set in hot weather or sunnier climes, it just kills any sense of Christmas for me, I love Snow, Snow and yeah more snow but still decided to give this turkey of a movie a shot.
I lasted 20 minutes until I witnessed grown ass adults talking and acting like children in a role play the was just too cringey to bear.
The lighting was just way too bright which is typical for these LIFETime Movies but it just looked cheap and drowns out the actors and backgrounds
The acting was just terrible and Rita Moreno looked like she ad-libbed a lot of her screen time.
Props though for using a deaf woman within the story line with on screen subtitles for the rest of us.
I cannot believe that Mellissa Joan Hart Directed this muck!
The Bear (2022)
Boring Snooze Fest
I really tried to get into this show as i thought that the background and premise seemed ok but nothing ever really happened within 3 episodes and i didnt really like any of the charachters especially "COUSIN" he was vile and i just dont understand how everyone put up with his nonsense.
The food within the shots of the episodes looked appealling but the characters and situations were just not enough to make me want to stay for desert.
I just dont get what everyone else sees in this.
