Paris Christmas Waltz (2023)
Destined to become a classic
This movie is wonderfully done and it ranks up there with the classics Singin' in the Rain and White Christmas. It takes you back to an era when movie making was an art and actors had talent.
The story, the costumes and sets are all magnificent. The chemistry between the two leads is captivating. And the dancing and singing. Wow. Think Fred and Ginger. This is the first movie that I have watched this year that I did not want to end. It's that good. The final dance scene left me wanting more. This movie with take you away and leave you feeling happy. The way entertainment should.
Thank you to the entire cast and crew. You hit this one out of the park.
On a Wing and a Prayer (2023)
Should have been better
This was an amazing real life story. Why didn't they just tell it. That would have been fantastic. Instead, they ruined it with the addition of 2 children characters that were not even in the real story.
The 2 children were annoying to the point where we had to fast forward through their scenes. I can't even imagine why their parts were written into the script other than to annoy.
They also chose a black actor to play Brian Norton, who is in real life, white. Why??? This is starting to get ridiculous. And it creates a major distraction because you just keep asking: why would they do that?
It should have been better. Dennis Quaid and Heather Graham gave great performances.
The Way Home (2023)
Dark and depressing
The show starts with a witch being chased through the woods and then jumping into a pond. Fast forward to current day when a mother (Kat) and daughter (Alice) move back home with Kat's mother (Del). There is nothing but drama between the mothers and daughters.
Alice falls into the pond and travels back in time. You see the Kat's father and brother. You know there is tragedy ahead because neither are alive in current day.
Everything about this show is dark and depressing. Even Andie MacDowell can't save this one. Plus, given that this show takes place in Canada, her accent is distracting. Minor, but just another detail overlooked which tells me they didn't really care about content and thought throwing a big name in there was enough. It wasn't. I gave it a chance and won't watch it again.
