Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holidays (2019)
Almost as bad as the first one ..
Oh joy. Another sequel.
So even before the first scene comes on it gets one bonus point, because they have a whole new cast for the sequel! Which means NO KELLY PICKLER!!
And once the movie starts it goes downhilll from there..
Harper is back from overseas and takes a job as a nanny. She used to work at Graceland as a tour guide...so that's the connection.
And we get a guest appearance of Pricilla Presley as herself .... OMG... what the heck happened to her face?! She's had so much plastic surgery that I'm pretty sure they dubbed in her lines as she can't move her lips!!
And I love how the kids all get along with each other ... like overacting much? Like when their aunt has been away for 3 years and brings them back a snow globe. Of London. A small one. And just one ..for the two children ... like does the older one gets it 4 days a week?! Cheapo!
And the kids goooo crazy over it.
Yeah. Ok.
I think the hallmark writers must do a lot of drugs if they think this is real life.
Anyways - we fall in love and give up our dreams for a man ...before even kissing him or discussing a future.
But he's rich!! Gold digga!! Wait, no he's giving all his new software away for free - WTH - stop that Owen - she will leave your, money is all you got going for you with that ugly haircut!
Well, I for one, just can't wait for the third movie in this series next year! And by just can't wait I mean I'd rather rub my privates in poison ivy then watch another Graceland Christmas movie...
But I will give them one out of 10 for not casting Kelly Pickler agian...so they got one thing right.
Klaus (2019)
Fantastic! Way better than a Hallmark movie!!
Finally! A DECENT - no, nay, an EXTRAORDINARY new Christmas movie!!
After all the trash I've been forced to watch this year - it's been worth it to get to this gem!
Screw you and your Hallmark movies wife! In your face!! 🖕
I mean, it's not Hallmark - so it's got to be better, but Netflix has not been a whole lot better this year until now!
Back to 2D animation in all its glory - sometime the 3D stuff can just be to much. It's a new take on the Santa origin story, and I have to say it's a new favourite of mine. If I had kids this is how I would say Santa was created. And then blame him if they didn't like what I got them ...
The story has humour, warmth, conflict, resolution, romance and love - and it even might have made me tear up a bit at the end..
If you haven't watched it yet then I highly recommend it. It's on Netflix - check it out - cause it gets the first (and probably only) 10 trees out of 10!
A Christmas Duet (2019)
Please ..no
Ok - so the chick from Nashville and the dude from How to Get Away With Murder team up and sing a horrible Christmas song.
They break up - she moves to a small town and buys an Inn. They don't talk for years and apparently don't follow each other on Instagram cause he books a room at her Inn without knowing.
The town is in trouble - oh no - as the Christmas Festival is going to get cancelled. Say it isn't so!!
I wonder ...
Omg - she saves the day and hosts it at her Inn - so didn't see that coming ...
Oh - and a magazine is reviewing her Inn for the 'best of' award ...and it pays out 60k! Wait..what...
I wonder...
Oh my gosh - she wins the award from the grumpy old lady that has her heart grow three sizes since coming to the inn ...
Oh no - the choir all got sick and can't sing at the festival? What could we do? Does anyone know any singers?
I wonder...
Well blow me over - they could sing their duet and fall back in love! And he can toss the rest of his tour away for love, and his manager can hook up with the grumpy old gal who used to be the lead star in these movies, but now gets to play background roles ... #ageism
Omg - Timmy fell into a well? Show me girl!
I wonder....opps sorry, I drifted off to sleep and got mixed up...ignore that one.
What the heck is with these movies that are in a hotel - BUT there are never any OTHER guests around?!
And for Pete's sake - when you say the WHOLE town is coming to the festival please HIRE MORE THAN A DOZEN extras.
Or shoot from a good angle. Or use CGI. Even bad CGI is better than when 12 people turn out for a super star musician in a small town ...
Whatever. I'm getting sucked into this world again.
Please send help.
Another one tree effort from Hallmark ...one out of 10. Don't waste your popcorn.
