A Winter Wedding

 

Why?

I thought I had seen the actors before so I just put it on. I did not really care that much and apparently I was stuck in the wedding category.

What in the world?

I think this might have been a sequel or something because it started off with an engagement and ended up with a casual winter wedding. I felt like I was missing context but I might not have been which is scary.

Personal thoughts

This movie was kind of boring and only started to pick up the pace near the end. Their search for a wedding venue was very boring and the conflict happened at the best time. Minutes before their wedding. I mean they still got married but it was nice to see people yelling at each other before deciding to cancel it. Her friend was weird though. I mean I feel like she pulled some strings to get a dress but that's all she was there for. Oh and makeup. She did makeup.

Score

I have to give this movie a 5 out of 10. It had all the classic sequel romance that you could expect. I mean the movie would have been a 4 out of 10 if it hadn't been for the mesmerizing barn dance sequence. For some reason when that came on I couldn't help but watch it. The brother and the friend romance was dumb by the way. It was pointless and made almost no sense and it just shouldn't have happened. Shame on you script writers. Shame.

A Romance Wedding

 

Why?

I was searching for something to watch and I saw the title and thought it was the dumbest thing. The only reason I watched it if I am being honest. 

What in the world?

A wedding planner travels back to her hometown and ends up trying to buy a piece of farmland so that she can use it as a wedding venue. Oh don't forget that her ex boyfriend is back in town so that's kind of important.

Personal thoughts

This movie was interesting. I mean the town was very steadfast in its beliefs that a farm is for farming. Almost everyone they talked to about the wedding venue idea told them the same thing. "Farms are meant for farming. Your idea sucks." They didn't say the last part but I can imagine that they did. The couple in this movie seemed to have a little bit of chemistry, but I was more interested in the side romance that was happening with her business partner and the bakery owner. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 5 out of 10. It was a good time killer and I found myself enjoying it most of the time. I just liked how she lived there and most of the people just considered her an outsider for no reason. I didn't like the ending though. I did like the part where they were just using local businesses as some realization that people can help them get their venue space. Overall just a pretty run of the mill standard romance movie.

Jolly Good Christmas

 

Why?

It's just one of the few Hallmark movies that I watched during this Christmas season. It was recorded which meant that my family had to watch it. 

What in the world?

A very "busy" architect hires a personal shopper to buy a gift for his girlfriend even though they had decided not to make a big deal out of Christmas.

Personal thoughts

This movie was pretty bad. I mean the whole thing about him being busy was really just talked about and never shown. The only time that he needs to be busy is when he falls in a lake and doesn't make it to his meeting that is super important. SPOILER! He didn't even end up getting his girlfriend a better gift. He just kind of didn't give her gift and they called that that. The whole movie was a mess and the lady was supposed to be British but she sounded American and the guy was supposed to be American but sounded British. I think casting could have done a better job in that department. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. I didn't really like any of the characters in the movie but it had its moments. He did give a gift card to orphans (maybe) so that's pretty cool. I think all the moments that led up to them getting together were really dumb and they should have done a better job telling us how their romance progressed because it moved really quick and it was very confusing.

Amazon Jack

 

Why?

Sometimes you're in the mood for a movie. I just wanted to watch a movie and I kept seeing this in my recommended from Amazon so I thought I would go ahead and watch it. 

What in the world?

A rare species of animal (never specified) is being tracked around the world (aka two places) so that people can use them for their own gain. 

Personal thoughts

This movie was wild. I mean the rare species is kind of ugly and the way that it talked was just down right atrocious. It was so annoying that I wanted to kind of let it get captured in the movie. Oh, this movie has songs and they are just so bad. The second to last song in the movie made me laugh really hard though so I guess that's a win for them. Also, the panther in this movie is a very confusing character with zero development which is kind of fun. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. I kept getting distracted during this movie because it would just stall. I mean there is no reason to spend so much time in a cage with a high mosquito when it adds next to nothing to the plot. I mean it's cool that there's a high mosquito but you don't need to use him to further the plot in the slowest way possible.

Sharkula

 

Why?

I saw this movie a while ago and had been meaning to watch it for the longest time and it finally happened. 

What in the world?

Two random college students get a job in a town where people have a curfew and strange parades are happening in town. That's the best way to describe it without any spoilers.

Personal thoughts

I honestly loved this movie. I mean the frame rate absolutely sucked but other than that I was entertained the whole time. I loved Sharkula's appearances and the random stock footage that they would push onto the screen. Vladimir Constantine was an interesting antagonist and he had the best back story so that's pretty cool. The other characters were kind of boring and I can't blame them. That town had about three or four locations and all of them were equally as boring as the next. 

Score

I have to give this movie an 8 out of 10. I can't explain why I loved this movie so much but I really did. I think it had to be Sharkula. Sharkula is a very good actor and he deserves all the props he can get. I mean he had so many scenes that it was amazing. I think he also had too little scenes as well. He needed more. Everyone else could have died as long as Sharkula survived the whole thing I wouldn't have really cared what happened to anyone. SPOILER! The person who you think is the main protagonist actually isn't. Crazy stuff.

Sweet Autumn

 

Why?

I don't remember why I wanted to watch this but I did and yeah. 

What in the world? 

A girl goes to Vermont to hear her dead aunt's will and finds that she inherits half of her candy shop and tries to get it to go nationwide.

Personal thoughts

This movie was ok. I mean the chemistry was never there and the guy was boring. I mean he got her name wrong. He said he went fishing with Heather but her name was like Maggie or something. That was kind of weird but I mean I guess he looks nice so he's excused. The girl was ok I think except she was trying to push her agenda onto the people there. I mean they listen to her so that's something. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 6 out of 10. It was pretty boring and I can't remember most of the details off the top of my head. Oh yeah maple candy was a huge hit around the town and investor ex-boyfriend was really into it. Don't forget that. Also keep spares. That's how the end of this movie kind of went and I think it's a nice life lesson to remember.

Pumpkin Everything

 

Why?

The name of this movie had me from the very beginning. I just knew that I was bound to watch it.

What in the world?

A girl hears that her grandpa is hurt so she goes to her hometown of something. She then proceeds to try and get him to sell his store so that he can live at a retirement home. 

Personal thoughts

This movie was decent. I mean Tom was the best part of the movie by far and he was being bamboozled the whole time. The main girl was trying to get him to do things and she wouldn't tell him about it beforehand. He was also just the coolest character because he didn't give a crap about anything. He was very cool and cool. The mom was kind of something since she was falling for the guy who was suing her father (Tom). 

Score

I have to give this movie a 7 out of 10. The plot was very strange since she wanted her grandfather's approval but she kind of had it because he owned one of her books. I mean what did she think that meant in her mind. Oh I almost forgot about the fake giant pumpkin that they put onto the truck. It was big and huge but it was just so fake since people could lift it.
