Talkie Tuesday: You Had Me at Aloha

 

"You have to learn how to be a team player."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Since I'm usually not as on time with my reviews in comparison with when, specifically, certain movies and books release, this should be a pleasant surprise for just about everyone.

 

See, I'm good about it with some of them, but for the most part usually join the bandwagon only AFTER everything's already over, but there ARE instances in which I actually pay attention, and this was one of them over the weekend.

Hallmark is implementing some changes to the way it does things and to some of its roster, but luckily they also know which actors really draw in the crowd.

And when you have a tried-and-true formula, you got to stick to it.

Besides, everyone and their mother wants to see some foreign parts nowadays with the pandemic, so stopping in beautiful Hawaii sounds like a good idea to me!

You Had Me at Aloha is definitely worth a watch for that alone.

Talkie Tuesday: Hello, It's Me

"You never know where love might strike."

Hello everyone!

Back with a movie review and, you guessed it, it's another Hallmark channel one.

I know, I know.

I'm starting to get boring over here. I can't help it though!

Hallmark does punch out some really good movies that you and your whole family can enjoy, and recently I noticed that a couple of different channels here have been airing them.

I don't watch everything they serve me - for one, it'd be too many, and two, not every one of them is good, sadly! - but I DO watch a fair amount of them, and I recently ran into an old favourite which I'd watched, but never reviewed on here.

Well, I stand corrected!

Hello, It's Me isn't quite your typical Hallmark channel production.

Talkie Tuesday: Love on the Menu

"Love is the number one ingredient in any dish."

Hello everyone!

You're probably wondering if I'll ever watch anything not Hallmark-related in the near future.

I promise, I do have some other movies lined up! But the thing is, Hallmark has somehow reorganised their channel so that they literally have something for every season at this point, and out of those, I generally watch about half their movies. Not always and definitely not all of them, but certainly a lot!

Still, this blog post is a last huzzah, in a way, for movies for the next little while.

Because starting next Tuesday, April 16th, I'll be doing weekly Game of Thrones reviews, for the very last time.

That's right, the final season is almost here, guys!!!

So before we strap on our swords and grab the dragonglass we need to fight off the White Walkers and the Night King, let's try something tasty on for size first as a sort of goodbye, shall we?

Love on the Menu is exactly right for that.

Talkie Tuesday: WCTH The Greatest Christmas Blessing

"Love is the greatest gift of all."

Hello everyone!

New year, new blog posts, and I'm back with the very first after taking a little bit of a break just to clear my head and reassess everything.  

I'll admit, I was debating giving up blogging, at least for a while, but somehow or other this has gotten under my skin and I can't just let it go without some sort of a really good reason, of which I have none at the moment.

Besides, it kind of feels weird to think I wouldn't be typing this up twice a week, I'll admit.

I've gotten used to it!

But anyway, I digress.

On New Year's Eve, because I'd been kind of busy over Christmas, I finally sat down and watched the movie I knew would bring me to tears. How could it not, when viewers around the globe are still hissing at Hallmark for what happened with Jack Thornton?

When Calls the Heart: The Greatest Christmas Blessing was only a small consolation.

Talkie Tuesday: The Perfect Bride Wedding Bells

"Who's ready to get married in six weeks?"

Hello everyone!

It's time for another movie review and YES, I know, I know, this one isn't very autumnal either, but it connects back to last week's and I couldn't just do one without the other, right? 

Right.

In any event, Hallmark has pretty much been showing all the extra special fall movies that will apparently more or less wrap up with the Good Witch Halloween Special (which I am VERY excited for!), and then it's off to count down until December.

Yes, that's also super fast, but it's Hallmark. 

Back to the topic at hand, however, this is going to be one of those wedding movies again, but I'm telling you it's probably one of the stronger sequels I had the chance to watch.

Normally, second movies are the weakest link. The Perfect Bride: Wedding Bells, while not a masterpiece, certainly wasn't bad, either.

Talkie Tuesday: The Perfect Bride

"There's no such thing."

Hello everyone!

So while our powerplant is sending out smoke signals into outer space - because why the heck else wold there be such a big cone of smoke there? - I'm sitting here watching the monstrosity and typing up my blog post. 

As it's October, I figured I could probably do something autumn-related, but instead I found this cutesy movie review I'd done a little bit ago.

I'll be doing a Halloween themed post, I promise, but I'm waiting for the premiere of Good Witch for that one.

In the meantime, though, Hallmark does indeed provide a viewer with HEAPS to watch even when you think there may be nothing.

You may think so, but they'll prove you wrong.

As they did with The Perfect Bride.
