Talkie Tuesday: Her Pen Pal

 

"The real triumph is not in the final product - it's in the journey."

 

Hello everyone!

 

You'll never believe what happened this weekend.

 

Or maybe you will, who knows?

 

Either way, what happened was I watched a Hallmark channel movie from this year's lineup - and I actually really, REALLY liked it.

This is a monumental thing, because I haven't really enjoyed any of their productions this year yet, not the way I have in the past.

I don't know what it is, whether I've finally reached my limit or what, but the movies just aren't as good anymore, in my opinion at least, and they come across as even more ridiculous in terms of plot twist twenty minutes before the end than they would normally do.

But this weekend, they FINALLY delivered.

And it's apt, because the movie was Her Pen Pal.

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: My One and Only

"Love is not about making sense."

Hello everyone!

Well, it's official I think.

Sure we have to wait just a little bit longer for it to actually be calendar autumn, but the weather is definitely not pulling any punches, it's been raining since mid-afternoon yesterday and it doesn't seem like it'll stop any time soon!

This is basically autumn weather; it's autumn, y'all.

Not that I'm complaining. I've had enough of summer for the time being. I love the heat and the sun and all that, but I equally enjoy the transition between seasons, and spring and autumn are lovely when the weather starts to shift again.

To say goodbye to summer, I watched what is I think labelled as the last movie in Hallmark Channel's Summer Nights series, although I was mildly disappointed.

Still, what's done is one. My One and Only, right here on the blog.

Talkie Tuesday: A Taste of Summer

"In the end, you only regret the chances you didn't take."

Hello everyone!

As I've mentioned last week, there's probably going to be an abundance of Hallmark movie reviews on this blog for a little while. 

Summer Nights is WELL on the way to being finished and then we're moving into the first week of September already; you can see it happening outside, the light is slanting down at a very different angle, the weather is slightly chillier and a lot wetter already, so basically summer is drawing to a close here in the Northern hemisphere.

We may get some Indian summer later, but who knows with the weather as it is? Some people are saying we're getting snow in October!

Before any of that happens, though, we should enjoy more summer movies if we can, because there will be too many autumn ones to count eventually.

That's why I watch so many from Hallmark, because they know what it's all about.

There wasn't anything different with A Taste of Summer, either.

Talkie Tuesday: A Summer Romance

"Live each day with courage, take pride in your work;

Talk less, say more, and always finish what you start."

Hello everyone!

I may have to apologise in advance, but I think there's going to be an influx of Hallmark movie channel reviews on this blog for a little bit. I've sort of made a mini list of all the stuff I want to see from their lineup this summer, and I started yesterday so I figure I might as well put my viewing to good use.

Of course, not everyone is going to enjoy this, just like not everyone is going to enjoy the fact that Hallmark is pushing out a new movie pretty much every week.

The thing is, when you have such a massive amount of media, there's bound to be some repetition along the way.

It might have happened in my choice for yesterday's movie night as well, though at the very list I picked a new production seeing as it only aired this weekend, but I didn't get the chance to watch it until yesterday, sadly.

And since it's still summer, why not settle for A Summer Romance?
