A Royal Christmas on Ice

 

Why?

There is one way to get me hooked on a Christmas movie and that's having it be royal. There's something intriguing about it. I can't quite explain why it just hooks you in.

What in the world?

A prince wants to buy his own minor league hockey team and goes to a small town to scope out the land or something. He falls in love with a failed Olympic ice skater. She's not that good by the way.

Personal thoughts

This movie sucked. I have so little and so much to say about this movie. I mean the characters sucked and you didn't want to root for any of them. The man was just weird and we called him a frog because he always did a frog smile. The main lady sucked because she acted like a child the entire time. She always made everything about her too. I didn't quite get it. Chad was in this movie. He acted like a Chad but he looked like a twig. It was kind of weird. The only good character in this movie was Marshall who was the servant. He reminded me of someone I know which was nice I suppose. He was a snitch though so that sucked. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 0.3 out of 10. This movie was almost physically painful to watch. I mean the pacing sucked and when I went to find that screenshot I was surprised at how far in some of the scenes were. They just didn't match the timeline in my head. Oh the screenshot. That is candy cane cheeseburger casserole. An abomination that should never have been invented. I mean look at it. That is peppermint on noodles. That's not ok. Either way the movie sucked but the ice skating done by professionals was really neat. Other than that nothing good can be said about this movie.

A Merry Christmas Wish

 

Why?

It's late June so that means Christmas in July is just around the corner. As a preemptive watch, we found this movie and decided to watch it. We didn't realize that the main guy was a character that we'd all seen before and disliked.

What in the world?

A marketing executive inherits her great uncle's farm and ends up helping with a community festival. She also ends up falling in love with her best friend's older brother and the farmhand on the farm. He does both of those jobs by the way.

Personal thoughts

This movie was only painful to sit through because of the main guy. He looks like a cheeseball and acts like one too. That's not very fun to watch when you've seen it a thousand times before. You might be thinking that all romantic movies in this style are the same, but you would be wrong. A seasoned expert would tell you that this cheeseball is definitely different than the other cheeseballs. Anyway, the ex-boyfriend of the main girl wasn't even that bad. He was just trying to help when he could. He even came back early from their planned vacation to surprise her. I mean he went on it without her but still. Also, they had camels at a petting zoo. That was pretty cool so that's a positive.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. The plot was ok. I feel that they should have showed more of the hyped up festival because it was barely in the movie. I think it was 10 minutes out of the whole thing. Very frustrating. The main lady was ok. She didn't really do much and she also thought that cleaning out a farmhouse would take 3 days to clean out. That was probably the craziest part of this movie. It was very funny.

Catering Christmas

 

Why?

Amazon Prime likes to recommend movies when you log on so this was one of the recommendations. My family is a sucker for Christmas romance movies so we decided to watch it.

What in the world?

A catering company is trying to stay afloat during the holiday and are hired to cater a gala for 25 people. Romance ensues with the caterer and the gala host's nephew.

Personal thoughts

This movie was pretty cliché. I mean the gala was super lame. I mean for a very famous foundation that has done much for the community, they sure do invite very little people to this event. I mean it was hosted in their living room for crying out loud. The main romance was ok, but the old person romance in this movie was unforgivable. I mean it was just so random and happened near the end. The aunt literally initiated the kiss by saying "You're fired." That is the least romantic thing you could say to someone when you go in to kiss them. I guess they're happy or whatever.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. There were a couple of things that were interesting, but the rest of the movie fell flat. The rival catering company was strange because it was a brother duo but you only ever saw the one. I think they should have shown both brothers for no reason other than to establish that they were actually brothers and there were actually two of them. The main guy was so cheesy though and I mean that's not saying much but still.

The Trial of the Incredible Hulk

 

Why?

My mom and I needed something to pass the time, so we decided to check our favorite streaming site: Tubi. This was the first thing that we saw in the Sci-fi section of recommendations and figured we would watch it.

What in the world?

David Banner hops around from town to town hoping to find work where he doesn't have to work with other people. He finds himself in league with Daredevil as he takes down Fisk and his evil corporation. 

Personal thoughts

For a movie about a trial, David Banner spends little time in a courtroom. Also, for a movie about the Hulk, it spends little time with the Hulk in it. Overall, Daredevil spends more time in the movie than the Hulk. I think the movie dragged its feet a lot, but then when they realized they were running out of time they decided to add in the interesting things. The ending seemed to get chaotic as they were taking down Fisk. I appreciate that but not when it comes to the very end of a movie. Oh and SPOILER! The Hulk wasn't even in the end of the movie when it mattered. It was very upsetting because the Hulk is super cool.

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. It felt like I was watching a 2 hour movie when it was an hour and a half. I still really loved the chaotic ending to the movie. That's really where the good scoring comes from for the movie. I mean the beginning was fine and the way they introduced Daredevil was kind of odd. My mom thought he was an evil guy and I thought he was a random person. At least they both defended The City from evil. Yes The City was the actual name of the town.
