The Christmas Classic (2023)
A PG 13 alternative to Hallmark movies
This is a Hallmark movie at its core, but it has some adult jokes peppered throughout. The guy from Reno 911 and The State steals the show as local broadcaster Dick Mountain. I saw some reviews making it look like it's crude language throughout, and it's not at all, just here and there and sometimes it's nice to take a break from the ever sugary G rated Hallmark movie. It's got a good cast, some nice outdoor snow mountain scenery that is not Vancouver for a change which is all you see with Hallmark (although Vancouver is beautiful)- filmed in New Mexico. It's also a spoof of sorts on 80s ski resort movies. Overall if you like Hallmark but are looking for something just a bit less sugary, you will like this. Don't overthink it.
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Amazing
This movie may cause fear for those who have seen the first, as how can you top the twist and the original idea of the Matrix? Fear not. Although it starts out slow, and you are wondering if this is just going to be an action movie without much plot, it quickly picks up. The action sequences are riveting- I have never seen anything like it before and I was sitting on the edge of my seat. But the best part, the real guts to the film is halfway through, when you are pulled into the new understanding of the Matrix and the Oracle,as Neo is. And yes,there is a twist- one that will make you confused and wonder how well you really understood the first movie, and what this means for Neo. I was awe-struck by this new turn of events and still am a little shaken by it...This movie is not only on par with the original, I dare say it has perhaps topped the first. Incredible.
