Love's Greek to Me (2023)
the grace of the Aegean Sea
Ilana travels to Santorini with her Greek boyfriend Mike for a family wedding. When he surprises her by proposing to her, she gets caught up in the whirlwind of her mother's overzealous, impetuous and as she says with a lot of feeling for her son.
That trip brings a lot of pressure to the couple. Ilana is also attending an archaeological dig and, as a teacher interested in classical mythology, she is aware of the history of Aphrodite, Psyche and Eros.
But that makes her even more susceptible. Aphrodite, the mother of Eros, puts Psyche, a mere mortal, with a series of impossible tasks to perform.
And she thinks that having a potential mother-in-law who is too focused on her wants and needs without taking into account how her children see her and that she is acting according to her cultural tradition, can lead to a bigger headache.
In any relationship there are complex human emotions and conflicts involved. But maybe Ilana still has a little more to learn from all that great classical and cultural mythological lore, something that still keeps her wrapped on the wings of Eros.
And when love called to Ilana, she followed it, though her paths were wild and craggy and Eros's wings might shatter her dreams or ravage her gardens. Instead, he would carry her, upright, through the grace of the rhythmic swells of the Aegean Sea.
Love Amongst the Stars (2022)
stardust in love
The film may not be scientifically rigorous. It is intended to be entertaining, even so there are good quotes about history and about astronomical discoveries. For example, Asteria, the goddess of shooting stars, is quoted, the erupting volcano of Vesuvius is quoted, and William the Conqueror and Halley's Comet in battle.
There are also mythological theories or prophecies. The actors are up to the script and I think Sara is great and also the male lead, perhaps he's not all the successful he needs. But still, he's great, he has chemistry with her and he's not overbearing or pretentious or haughty, he's natural.
In conclusion, the script has very good points and introduces brilliant aspects for those who want to enter the world of stars. For example, Carl Sagan quote that we are all stardust. The actor compares himself to the same stardust that match up with his partner. Homer's Odyssey is also discussed and several comets like Halley. I think this movie should be better appreciated.
Rip in Time (2022)
i love it
I cry i love when Rip put under the knees in the cave and asking her for marriage and then she says that before that is good to go for a date or two out before, because in that moment it is not necessary to marry so quickly.
I would like only to know where is the name of the town, and how is the transportation that use to go to New York, and where is the hotel where they stay, because they pass one night out.
Sorry for my english.
Yes it is a fish out of water.
I read may stories written by women inspired in the Highlands and in Scotland to travel around the time, in that period it is habituated to do magic with a curse.
I respect this opinion above that says that the story is enough to explain itself about the historical reasons, with a different explanation, but they try to do with the linen machine and it works more and less, also with the musket ball.
Wonderful well written script.
We Wish You a Married Christmas (2022)
so charming Kris and Nichols
I don't understand the people that rating so down this movie,
the script has points very good, Kristoffer is very good actor and so charming in some moments and other so genuine in his way, but also she is, the bright of her eyes is the same bright in her eyes than the terrier's eyes, that steal the screen, she has also beauty in her eyes, Nichols, and Amy as supporting actress is also good.
So there are really many points, like the couple owner of the Inn that is so nice, all is nice also the alpacas, but there are good points in the dialogue, you cannot ask for not to be boring in some moments, because is sad what happened between them.
It's not because the man doesn't talk about his feelings it's not either because she is provoking this like someone says
it's not as easy : "probably should have said something" about noticing her: she said to him.
Script moments:
let's see you laugh like that a long time
yeah i don't think i have laughs like that in a long time.
I'm sorry Becca after all this time i am taking you for granted and i love you and i promise that i have never stopped noticing you and never will.
Now i know that we have tried everything, remodel, try to stay busy that we have just forgotten how to look at each other and how to listen to each other i spend time together i miss you already
maybe i have missed you for years, but how do you say that to someone when you're standing right in front of you the whole time
it just dead we don't get along on vacation because we're on vacation we get along because we make time for each other
we did forget to make time for each other really why do you think that's going to change?
We change our priorities i'm going to make you my priority i love you i will always love you.
Jolly Good Christmas (2022)
You can know a person in a day
You can know a person in a day or a lifetime, not working the relationship with the girlfriend, but why not and why working with the Indian girl? Here is the talent of the script and the talent of the actors to realize and raise the question, and also help a lot Callum, the friend of David to develop it.
The circumstances of the gift is the excuse.
But it is a very good excuse.
David says that it is "Life" who has the guilt in this, because all his life has worked as an architect and really he is good at it. But she is good also, why is she good or better than his previous girlfriend of three months?
Probably because he needs to be opened, but the other woman is also a very privacy woman with all the same defects that he has, but at least he is american and that's all the different, because even that, they don't come along together in the moment that the thing is going to become romantic, because the gift.
He doesn't want to give her a very personal gift.
That's all the question.
And from there, the question of the gift becomes so transcendental for to say what it is real love or from where can be born.
Because he says and he asks his best friend: how do you know that your husband was the one for you, the right one?
So it is a moment interesting in all that, he is interested in this questions besides his job, is a crucial moment very critical, because he needs to meet a very important person in a meeting for his job, but all at final has a very intelligent solution, that's the good thing of this movie, really recommend it one hundred per cent
With all the respect for the accent of Will Kemp, I like it, it is a challenge for him, and all the respect for all the scenarios for this wonderful Christmas in London, so wonderful and marvelous.
