'Tis the Season to Be Irish

 

Why?

It's that time of the year. Hallmark's annual (way too early) Christmas Countdown. That means we get a whole new arsenal of Christmas movies to do bingo with. This is one of the newer ones that premiered this time. 

What in the world?

A house flipper really wants to flip a house in Ireland because of her dead mom. She then starts to fall for the guy who is putting a bunch of restrictions on her house flipping. So nothing super interesting in this one. 

Personal thoughts

THIS MOVIE WAS ONE OF THE DULLEST I HAVE EVER SEEN! It had maybe one redeeming quality about the whole thing and that was the lamb that was the whole saving point of the relationship. There was a weird lady who was all over the place and she was trying to spread her husband's ashes WITHOUT HER KIDS!! If I was related to her, I would never forgive her if she actually got around to doing it. There was also this pop star in disguise who sang Danny Boy at the supposed spreading of the ashes. Super insensitive if you ask me. The main guy was horrid at having an Irish accent and if he did have one, you couldn't understand him half the time anyway. The main lady was just boring and didn't really do much. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 1 out of 10. The lamb named Lambchop was really the only good thing about this movie. I can't think of anything else to say to describe how boring and pointless this movie was. Not a very strong start to the new year of Christmas movies.

Side Note: The main guy character is actually Irish. This was not immediately evident and that is my fault for not doing a little bit of research.

Enchanting Christmas

 

Why?

I was casually just looking for something to watch when this movie popped up. I read the synopsis and it was just one of the craziest things I have read in a while so I decided to watch it.

What in the world?

A single ice sculptor is broke and wants to give his daughter a Christmas present. She wants a princess ice sculpture and makes a Christmas wish on it. The ice sculpture comes to life and would you guess that's where it turns into a Hallmark movie.

Personal thoughts

The start of the movie was so much better than the rest of it. Of course she would come to life and not know anything, but it was just so hard to watch. She also had a lot of traits that the kid gave her so that kind of made her just annoying. I mean she was good at math and artistic which are very basic things and they didn't do much with either of those things. The main conflict was that he didn't believe in her. That was crazy. I mean once he found out that his daughter was advocating for some random person claiming to be her teacher to stay at their place it was so valid. The man had every right to be concerned and not believe that she was previously an ice sculpture. He also didn't really care about his daughter too much, but that's neither here nor there. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. I mean the beginning and some other parts were good, but not enough to carry this movie. I mean Santa was in it and he was a janitor so that was cool. He also did magic to a truck. It was like a magic shockwave and nobody noticed. I mean that's crazy. But he was there. He didn't really do much to try and help people honestly he was just there. There was a weird antagonist for a bit who tried to sabotage the ice sculptor because of the main lady. He just thought she was pretty and got jealous. He tried to ruin his main sculpture by turning up the heat. HE COMMISSIONED THAT FOR HIS IMAGE!!! It was a sleigh for the insurance company he worked for. Who hates someone that much that they'd ruin their own reputation. It was a very crazy movie.

The Most Colorful Time of the Year

 

Why?

When thinking of something to do with my friends, I really wanted to introduce them to Hallmark Bingo. I mean Hallmark is intolerable, but to make it bearable we do bingo. When looking up this movie to get a picture, I did find out that the most colorful time of the year is fall foliage season. So there is that information for you.

What in the world?

While a single mother is giving eye exams to her child's school, she meets her teacher. She finds out through subtle hints that he is colorblind and works to try and fix him. And then we encounter our typical Hallmark movie plots.

Personal thoughts

This movie was freaking awful. The main lady was a villain in disguise and I will not hear anything else on the matter. She is literally trying to cure him of color blindness the entire movie like it's an incurable disease. I mean at one point in the movie, the daughter asks if her mom can cure him. To make matters worse, to cure him, she signs him up for a trial of corrective lenses without his consent. They do not talk about how wrong this is as much as they should have. I mean she does cure his black and white color blindness though with the glasses, but still. They should not have ended up together. I can't even tell you when they realized they liked each other. It just seemed like it sort of happened. Oh, the ex-boyfriend in this movie was super creepy. He would just show up at her house and they would act like it is okay. That was super weird. I think my main personal thought of this movie is the fact that she cured color blindness. I can't get over that. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. I hated almost everything about it. I did like how the main guy actor was when his character got color sight or whatever you want to call it. He acted like most people do when they get glasses for the first time and I feel like that was very realistic. One thing that worries me is that the director of this movie has another Christmas movie related to sight, but this time they are completely blind. I am worried about that one because this one was just so weird. We'll just have to see what happens.

The Dark Past

 

Why?

This movie came recommended from my mom and it has a lot to do with psychology and I thought it would be interesting.

What in the world?

A psychologist and friends are held hostage by an escaped convict and have to survive the night.

Personal thoughts

I thought this movie was really interesting. The way that the psychologist would talk to the criminal was interesting and it was nice to see the symbolism in the dream. The whole wall conscious thing was cool too and I thought that was interesting because I don't remember learning about it. I did think it was strange that the criminal didn't kill the psychologist because if I were a criminal I wouldn't want to hear what he had to say about my brain and would want to spend my night in silence.

Score

I have to give this movie a 7 out of 10. Sometimes the movie was just really boring and it didn't seem all too interesting. I mean the whole thing was cool and how they slowly worked the way to the root of the problem. The ending was really neat. I liked the way it wrapped everything up and the way that the dad's head appeared on the police faces. My sister did walk in at the end and needless to say she was very confused. Oh! The psychologist had a son and he tried to escape but it didn't work too well. SPOILER!! I thought the kid was a goner, but they don't kill him because he's a kid. Thank goodness!

Time for You to Come Home for Christmas

Why?

I was home for a little bit and we just had to play some Hallmark Bingo.

What in the world?

A single mom goes back home for Christmas and meets a man that is replacing her dead husband as the guitarist for the Veteran's Snow Ball.

Personal thoughts

This movie was pretty boring but it had some good parts. Her kid hit puberty so many times during this movie. His voice changed constantly. First it was high pitched and then it sounded like he was 30 smoking 20 a day. Or maybe just 30. It was very funny. Nothing really happened. The plot of the movie was so small that we almost all missed what the guy was doing. He was just crossing names off a list and we were all really confused. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 5 out of 10. For being what it is it wasn't that bad. The main romance was pretty interesting. We all thought that she was going to be mad at him for replacing her husband, but she didn't seem to care. She was fine with it. She also took over her mom's bakery because her mom was selling it. Hooray! She moved back to her hometown at the end. Nobody really cares but good for fictional lady.

Argoman the Fantastic Superman

 

Why?

Ever since Pumaman, my mom has been trying to create a whole universe of bad super heroes. This guy is our first villain.

What in the world?

A superhero has to stop some evil people from copying world leaders and taking over the world.

Personal thoughts

This movie was kind of boring and the hero wasn't even fun to watch. I mean the guy was a womanizer and it was painful to watch. He brought one of his mistresses to Paris (where the movie takes place). I don't know why he did that. She didn't even do anything. The butler to the guy was more interesting than the actual guy. The villain shows up to his place on accident or on purpose (hard to tell) and sleeps with him because she loses a shooting match. There was also a guy trapped in with a car in his sex dungeon. It was basically a sex dungeon okay. It was a miserable thing to watch as he turned back around when the lady lost the match. His costume is also really ugly, I mean look at the thing. I can't even remember his powers so that's a pity.

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. It was painful to watch the guy do anything. He was just brutal for no reason. The bad guys were basically brutally murdered and they were the most interesting part of the movie. At one point, they go to a ball for the rich and kill dignitaries with glow in the dark makeup. I mean the makeup doesn't kill them but Argoman shoots them in the dark. It's okay they were clones not good guys. OH! At the end of the movie, Argoman flees the police. I remember that. What kind of good guy flees from the police after proving themselves innocent! 

Fun Fact

The movie can also be found under the name The Paris Incident. I thought I would just throw that out into the universe.

Supersonic Man

 

Why?

Our family is trying to make our own superhero universe and this goes in with Pumaman.

What in the world?

An alien comes to Earth to save the Earth from villains. He has a human identity and that part kind of confuse me. 

Personal thoughts

This movie was so funny. The theme song was really bad. They must have been first time trumpet players because they could not hit one of the notes and it happened multiple times. I think that they should have had someone else write the music. Supersonic (actual name) flying was amazing. He had to change the way he flied every 3 seconds. It seemed pretty effective though. I thought this movie was pretty funny. Supersonic was interesting because he had basically any power under the sun. He could manipulate objects and he also changed objects into different ones. He also flies and has super strength. His only weakness is his ability to echolocate or whatever. He was literally only stopped because of too high of frequencies.

Score

I have to give this movie an 8 out of 10. It was pretty funny and I would definitely watch it again. One of the funniest parts was when he lifted up a construction car of some time and put it down so that a car would explode. The car exploding was so funny because it was really unwarranted. They veered off to the side and then the car exploded. The main character was very strange because he had a bracelet to turn into the hero and he used it (obviously). SPOILER! At the end of the movie, he gives it to the comic relief drunk and he gets taken back to space. First of all, I did not like the comic relief drunk because he just gave off weird vibes. Secondly, I don't understand how that works. Was he always that human or was the bracelet given to him? If he was an alien, why would he be willing to give up the bracelet for a girl? Was it for love? I didn't really get that part.
