The Art of Christmas (2022)
Snoozefest
Storyline had some potential for a holiday Christmas romance but that's almost all the movie had going for it.
The lead actress is beautiful and the dresses were gorgeous. The young girl that's getting bullied is a phenomenal singer (if it's really her & not voiceover). That's where the positives end for me.
The acting, while not the worst I've ever seen, fell completely flat. I didn't feel an ounce of chemistry between any of the characters. It felt like they were just saying their lines without any real connection or emotion behind them. The movie was just....boring.
I've been trying to give GAC a chance with their movie lineups but the quality of their content is lacking any appeal for me.
Christmas Lovers Anonymous (2021)
YIKES!
I watched about 20 minutes and I had to stop. The acting was ATROCIOUS. I can't emphasize this enough. I was curious about GAFC since they managed to poach so many Hallmark stars so I decided to turn to the channel & see what kind of movies they were churning out. This movie was on & I was shocked. How anyone that participated in this movie could've possibly thought this was even worth making is absolutely beyond me. I find it hard to believe any professionals in the field thought it was acceptable. It's almost enough to turn me off from the channel but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and give a few more of their movies a shot but if they're anything like Christmas Lovers Anonymous, my expectations are incredibly low. Personally, I feel as if Hallmark movies have gotten more inclusive, funnier, & more original this year. If GAFC is going to compete, they must've realized they needed better talents. Save yourself the time & avoid this movie.
Cinderella (2021)
Not THAT bad...
There are a LOT of 1 star reviews & definitely do t think this movie is THAT bad. It also doesn't warrant the very few 10 star reviews. Is it GOOD? No. It's also not the worst thing imaginable.
While I didn't enjoy the use of all the modern songs, the singing & performances themselves were good. In my opinion, most of the actors sang pretty well (especially Camila & Idina-duh- & Nicholas Galitzine). The acting also wasn't bad. I think a lot of the reviewers took the movie far more seriously than what was intended & that's the reason for the poor reviews. The movie was quirky & had quite a few chuckle-worthy moments. That being said, there were DEFINITELY quite a few cringeworthy moments that I could've done without (the town crier & marching band feel? Just no.). This move was just alright. Not as bad as I expected it to be, but definitely not good. It's a shame cause the singing & acting wasn't bad (in my opinion). Cringeworthy with some chuckles is my overall assessment.
Also, I'm not sure why so many people dislike James Corden! I think he's really funny. I liked him in this. "Front tail" lmao!
Go in to the movie without high expectations & with the realization that it shouldn't be taken seriously & you may get some giggles out of it.
Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel (2021)
What garbage.
This is an absolute CRAP "documentary". Shame on Netflix & the makers of this documentary for such irresponsible filmmaking. They lend credence to silly people with absolutely no experience or true understanding of a subject. "YouTuber" and "Internet Sleuth" are NOT credible titles. It's a an absolute joke.
They dismiss completely credible explanations because they have a "feeling" & think they "know" better than professionals.
Yes, some things are odd but not unexplainable. I actually thought EXACTLY what the professionals concluded from the second episode when they found her body. It's not SO strange.
I have dealt with people who are bipolar both personally & professionally. Her behavior is 100% consistent with someone being manic & progressing into a psychotic break.
I deal with a security camera system at work that it super glitchy. You will see someone at one end of the hall way & a second later they are at the complete other side. Cameras/technology are not 100% reliable & they flicker some time. It is what it is. The time stamp on the video was likely redacted from the video because it was an ACTIVE investigation & they don't release all the information. Same goes for all these people thinking they're entitled to her autopsy report. "Why haven't the police released their autopsy report?! CONSPIRACY!!!" No, not a conspiracy. It was an open investigation & you are NOBODY related to the case.
"The hatch was closed" a thousand times over. All I could think the whole time was, "The cops said they found it closed but the maintenance guy found her. What if it was open & he just closed it until they got there?" Lo & behold, THE DARN THING WAS OPEN!!!!
These people try to appear like they have some sort of credibility, but then they go to the hotel & the girl was smiling & giggling the whole time like she's a kid that stole a pack of gum. Nobody with any credibility would be acting like a teenager sneaking out of the house. Just NO.
Lastly, they harassed, threatened, & destroyed the life of someone simply because he was different. Granted, was his stuff....a bit concerning? Yes. Definitely not anything I'm into. HOWEVER, he absolutely did NOT deserve a single ounce of the treatment he received. The poor man wasn't even at the hotel when she was there! He was there a YEAR prior! For people that think they're so clever, that's one hell of a detail to miss while you make someone's life miserable.
Some "Internet people" are insane & irresponsible. They go on the attack with zero reliable information behind it & all they say is, "she wasn't murdered. It was a blow to me cause I thought she was." So you're upset because she WASN'T murdered???? Because it didn't satisfy your vanity & own self-importance?? Ugh. This triggered me. LoL
Mystery 101: An Education in Murder (2020)
My favorite out of the series.
This is the 5th installment in the Murder 101 series on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The murder in this one was a bit more interesting & complex than the others in this series, in my opinion (even if I already knew who did it LoL). The moment of the big reveal was a bit more violent than their previous ones. The acting was wonderful, as usual.
Another reviewer said they didn't understand the casting because Jill Wagner is pregnant but considering she was cast in her role WELL BEFORE she was pregnant since there are 4 movies before this one.I just think it's a silly thing to be bothered by. The first movie came out in January of last year (2019). It would be dumb to recast her when they could just cover up the baby bump. Kristoffer Polaha & Jill Wagner have amazing on screen chemistry & I enjoyed how their relationship has unfolded so far. I can't wait for the last installment.
Mom (2013)
Awful
No, no, no. I laughed once & only because I share the main character's name & she pronounced it funny. So many actors that I enjoy, it's a shame that their talents are wasted on this drivel. The comedy is forced. This show is trying to sell comedy on situations that aren't comedic. This is a show about at least 2 generations of alcoholic, drug addicted, promiscuous mothers with zero parenting skills & the possible breeding of a third generation to turn out the same way. I found myself frustrated & irritated while watching this show. She comes from work to find a boy sneaking out of her daughter's window, then learns from her young son that her daughter & that boy took a shower together. Her response was a sarcastic "awesome" & then proceeds to do NOTHING about it. From then on it was nothing but downhill. Absolutely appalling. I just don't think I see this lasting. At least it's not lasting for me cause I'm not watching anything more from this show.
Jersey Shore (2009)
Absolutely ridiculous.....and I loooove it
Reading these reviews just makes me laugh as much as the show does. Most reviewers on here have a trend in thinking that it is idiotic and unintelligent therefore it must be horrible. Whatevs!! LOL...If you want to watch something intelligent and mind inducing, watch Discovery Channel, History Channel, or National Geographic. This show was intended to be ridiculous. Its meant to be a "dramedy" if you will. For some reason people tend to think that America's youth will see them as some sort of idol and want to be like them...doubtful! I know TONS of people who watch this show and none for the purpose of watching their heroes on TV. Its mindless, entertaining, crap! I LOVE IT! I have a full time government job and am currently in school majoring in Political Science and International Relations with intentions of applying to law school at the end of next semester. I am by no means a fool, but lets face it, you can only be serious and "intellectual" for so long. Everyone needs a guilty pleasure!! I think people need to get the stick out of their butts and take this show for what it is. Ridiculous, mindless entertainment to help you laugh off a rough, serious day. All the people who are too "mature" and "serious" need to take a chill pill. Just get ready to fist pump until your arm falls off because ITS T-SHIRT TIIIIIMMMMEEE!!!!
Coupling (2003)
Appalling
I'm gonna be honest....I haven't even watched this! I'm so absolutely appalled that they would "remake" coupling with the same name, characters, etc. I mean come on!!!! Get freaking creative. This "remake" did NOT need to be done. The original British version is amazing and should be kept as it was. The "US version" of Coupling is Friends. Friends was LOOSELY based on Coupling and that's what someone who calls them self a writer should do. Not take someone's full idea, cast American actors and call it their own!!! These writers shouldn't be allowed to work in the industry. Get creative, do your job, and make your own show!!!!
