Christmas Beneath the Stars (2021)
Painful
This movie was extraordinarily painful to watch. Worse than any of the bad Hallmark movies I've seen. Its the combination of a bad script and very poor acting. The lack of feeling in the delivery of some of the lines made me cringe! The actors certainly didn't believe the script anymore than I did. Also, the budget was too tight to make the drab hotel, they were trying to transform, into anything families would want to spend their holidays at. Skip this one!
The Widow (2019)
A good idea gone awry
It starts out with a pretty good plot, but it twists and turns in all kinds of directions it didn't need to go. One that particularly bothered me was a lesbian affair which was unnecessary and was obviously just to push Amazon's agenda.
A lot of this movie is so unrealistic. Kate Beckinsale goes from a grieving widow to a woman chasing down warlords in the Congo and getting everyone killed. She puts herself in the most ridiculous, dangerous situations. I would have gone home long ago. Another thing that really bothered me was the fact that she gets off the plane and she's not worried about her luggage that was stolen. She has no purse and there's no wallet seen in her pants, but she happens to have money for everything. She somehow obtains a backpack that she's always leaving in a car with the windows down, where she knows the people are sketchy at best. She runs around the jungle with her hair in perfect curls, bouncing back and forth in a pony tail as she chases people down. It looks like she just came out out of the salon. Too noticeable and ridiculous! For a woman who's supposed to be a strong character, she just seems rather stupid at times. She puts herself and others in extreme danger which I don't find believable. They even end the movie with her putting herself in another questionable situation back home, which I won't mention.
