Christmas Mail

 

Why?

My sister and I watched a YouTuber (Drew Gooden) talk about it and decided to give it a watch for ourselves. We watched this in Christmas in July though so it's legal.

What in the world?

A mailman is trying to get dirt on a mail lady who is trying to write letters as Santa back to kids. That's about the whole plot.

Personal thoughts

This movie is wild. I mean it was pretty great with the inconsistencies, but it felt like it was lacking things. The dog was barely in it which was a let down but other than that it was pretty good. The romance felt like it was lacking. There was also a weird lady in the movie which didn't make sense as a person. She was a person but her role to the main man was very confusing. Did they date once? Are they just super close friends? Nobody will ever know. The ending of this movie is wild because you would never be able to guess what it is based off the title. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 6 out of 10. I found enjoyment while watching this movie which I haven't been able to say about some of the other ones recently. Maybe I found it more enjoyable because I had seen someone else watch it but it's hard to pinpoint it. There were some weird parts where the dialogue was just plain awful. That was probably the best part of the movie just the dialogue. Oh the sprinkle fight was good too.

Deck the Heart

 

Why?

I had seen this movie last year, but I wanted to expose my grandma and sister to it. That's the whole reason we watched this movie.

What in the world?

A businessman is about to inherit his dead grandfather's house in Maine. He has to plan a party so he hires an event planner. Romance ensues.

Personal thoughts

This movie sucks. I can't help but love it though. I mean the acting in this movie is so bad which gives it all the charm it needs. The main guy is so robotic and that makes him really great. The two people weren't good and they were boring but the movie was good. Not really. It made my sister and grandma feel pain. That was not the intent. Casualties to the movie. There was this great scene where the girl is unconscious from the cold and he just puts blankets on her. That was funny. They also don't really show you much of the decoration or anything exciting. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 1 out of 10. Since this movie leaves a lot to the imagination, I have to give it a low score. I mean it did cause mental pain to my family, but that's besides the point. Oh and for a family Christmas party there was a lot of random people showing up. I mean the guy just kept inviting people which is odd.

A Furry Little Christmas

 

Why?

Christmas in July should be as good a reason as any. This movie was also found on Tubi making it a two for one kind of thing.

What in the world?

A veterinarian from Vermont that lives in New York to go home to spend Christmas with her dad. When buying her Frosted Flakes, she meets a handsome young doctor who doesn't even buy the Frosted Flakes. They fall in love before the holidays.

Personal thoughts

This movie was even more enjoyable than the other ones we have watched this July. I mean it was still painful because they were doing weird things. The woman's kid was kind of annoying, but I shall give him the kid pass. I'm still upset about the unresolved Frosted Flakes conflict. I mean that's the whole reason they had an interaction and he didn't even buy them. They legitimately showed him putting them back on the shelf and walking away. It was very infuriating. For a movie that revolved around furry creatures, there was a serious lack of animals in this movie. Sure she made some house calls to people but they never actually showed the animals. I mean they did show a goat bleeding but that was about it.

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. It was actually interesting to watch in a hypnotic kind of way. We were losing our minds the entire time and by the end we were actually insane. My grandma and I both thought a cup was a little race car. Anyway, the movie didn't have enough furry creatures to make it an actually good rating. Banjo was the only good thing and he was barely in it. Banjo is a dog and he deserved to be in it more. He also ate some dough and got sick but that's besides the point. He was the best part of that movie for sure.

A Christmas Recipe for Romance

 

Why?

It's still Christmas in July so that means more romance movies. It's also a good time to pull out Hallmark Bingo. 

What in the world?

A quiet inn is really in debt and the owner needs to compete in a competition to earn enough money to stay afloat. She takes advantage of one of her guests and makes them teach her how to cook. They eventually fall in love.

Personal thoughts

This movie was really painful. I mean there weren't many Christmas activities taking place and the main people were painful to watch. I mean the lady was manipulative as all get out and the guy was just so depressing. He had no emotion to anything and he had a really bad accent. The old people in this movie were very odd. They called everybody dear. That would freak me out and a lot of other people as well. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. It felt painfully long and like I wanted to rip my eyes out. That's a bit harsh but it went a little like that. Oh there wasn't even a conflict between the two main characters. I mean there was a conflict, but that wasn't even resolved very well. They just let it be water under the bridge. Some guy threatened and sabotaged a man's career and got away with it. I mean that's not even fair but everyone seemed ok with it. This movie was just painful.

Santa's Got Style

 

Why?

It's officially Christmas in July! So in honor of the made up holiday month, we decided to watch a Christmas romance movie. Go to Tubi and bam that's how things work.

What in the world?

A guy is in love with his childhood best friend and tries to get her attention. He lies to her face for whatever reason and agrees to be a sexy Santa and his cousin at the same time. Very interesting.

Personal thoughts

This movie was interesting to watch. The sexy Santa thing was very weird and made my family very uncomfortable. The two main people were very annoying and made the movie almost insufferable. One redeeming factor of this movie was the security guard. He was really weird. I hated his lines of dialogue, but he did add a little bit of charm to the movie. Other than that, it didn't have much of note that I can remember.

Score

I have to give this a 2 out of 10. I found myself constantly wondering when the movie was going to be over. I mean it was okay, but I didn't quite get why he had to lie to her about it. I mean he had so many opportunities to tell her. I just didn't understand why he couldn't tell her the truth. I don't think he would have gotten in trouble. Oh, and people would just help him lie. His own mom went along with it and it was just awful to watch. Now everyone just don't lie and everything should be fine.

Invisible: The Chronicles of Benjamin Knight

 

Why?

Tubi has so much to offer and this just happened to be in a section all on its own. Part of Full Moon features if anyone cares.

What in the world?

This is apparently a sequel, but pay no attention to that. Scientists are doing things with a mandroid and one of the scientists is invisible. That's about all I understood of the movie.

Personal thoughts

This movie was a trip. I didn't understand what was happening until the end of the movie even though the ending also gave me a lot more questions than answers. Mandroid was probably the best part other than the stunts of the invisible man. Oh how could I almost forget about the murder hobos of the sanatorium. They were henchmen for the guy with the barely scarred face wearing an iron mask. He didn't need the iron mask but for some reason he chose to wear it. Probably so he could have a dramatic reveal later which didn't make sense because apparently he was in the first movie. Most of the characters were unlikeable by the end of the movie so that was a shame.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. I mean it had its moments. The fact that you couldn't understand what was going on probably made the movie that much more enjoyable. If I had understood what was going on then I probably would have enjoyed it less. There was a weird evil doctor, a weird evil policeman, a weird evil mask guy, and murder hobos. Understanding all of these different motivations would have made me lose my mind so this was a welcome change.

Christams Twister

 

Why?

This was a very spur of the moment watch. My mom had watched this and had recommended it. I had completely forgot about it but today was the day. 

What in the world?

Global warming has caused a lot of temperatures to rise and that means that December is now part of tornado season. So on December 23rd, all tornado havoc breaks lose. Oh and the title may seem like it is spelled incorrectly, but that's what the title card said so it's the valid name of the movie.

Personal thoughts

The nerve of this movie. It wasn't bad bad but it was bad. I mean it was a trip. The main characters were really lame. I mean they just acted as heroes, but they were also jerks. I mean they were in the right most of the time but that doesn't excuse their behavior. The side characters in this movie were also really bad. I mean they didn't do much except applaud the main people when they did anything right. Not an exciting part of the movie at all.

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. The movie was pretty boring when people were just really stupid and didn't know how to act when there were tornadoes around. There was an annoying part of the movie where they just showed the family dog running through wreckage so that it could get to its family. That was weird, but the dog did get to its family. The parents of the children also made out a lot and it was really disgusting.
