I really want to see that Chad Michael Murray movie. Looks good, but don’t have Disney+ or Hulu.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this longer preview for Christmas in Midnight Clear. The one they are airing on GAF is so short I wasn’t able to understand the story. Christie
Super excited for the Jonas Brothers!
ReplyDeleteAll the available Nicely movies seem to be streaming or about to. although to get them free you have to put up (mostly) with horrible ads!) - Florence
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is off subject but I wanted to post about the last 2 installments of Mistletoe Murders! I loved this series until now. I'm like you Net, the use of the D--- word shocked me. I even ran it back to listen again to make sure I heard it correctly. And the kissing scene was definitely more than we are use to seeing. The acting and and the mystery itself was great. But this is not suited for smaller children. There's a little more violence in the last one too. Didn't like the Dad-Mas either.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I'm so glad you shared that. It's good to know you felt the same about this content in season 1. Not sure where season 2 will go.
DeleteI just rewatched the first season and I would advise skipping that kiss scene. I thinking it was way too sensual. I often skip any kiss Erin Krakow does as well. As much as I love her and WCTH, often her kisses are quite heavy.
DeleteMy thoughts exactly Net!
DeleteTo no one's surprise, ratings for the premieres of Hallmark's Monday reality shows were absolutely terrible!
ReplyDeleteNo one asked for ANY of these cringe worthy reality shows!! We want family friendly movies and shows, NOT reality shows!! -Maria
Maria, Very interesting. I was wondering how they would go. Thanks so much for sharing. I didn't watch either reality show... I was watching the World Series game that night. (the game that went to 18 innings!!!)
DeleteI heard of that game, Crazy stuff!! -Maria
DeleteNet, did you stay up and watch all 18 innings?? I gave up after 15 - I couldn't stay awake anymore!
DeleteMark, Yeah, I just couldn't stop watching. My family just loves baseball, and this was one of those games I'll truly never forget.

Net-I just have a question about all these postings of movies by "anonymous". I follow your site because I 100% trust your judgment on movie picks, but are these all ones you would list? Thanks, ~LR
ReplyDeleteLR, Thank you so much for your comment! That means the world to me.
DeleteNow... for your question—if these are ALL movies, I would trust???
The answer is no... I never fully endorse any NEW movie before it airs. If you read my review and it says family-friendly, then you know without a doubt, it is, but if I'm sharing new movies, then please know, I haven't seen them, and based on promos, I'm hoping it might be good.
As for streaming, that is a whole new level of the unknown. With TV, there are content restrictions, but in the streaming world, one never knows. And no, I don't know all the movies the Anonymous commenter above shared, but I'm sure there are trailers on YouTube you can check out if any of the titles interest you.
I hope this info helps! Blessings to you, and thank you for being such a dear, loyal follower here! :)
