Four Seasons (2008–2009)

Lip syncing and removed from reality

[4/10 · 22 June 2022]

There were some good spots, but overall unbelievable. These people shack up with each other at the drop of a hat, the money situations are mathematically impossible and the lip syncing is off-putting. And the fact that the main character looks like she's 14 years old is annoying because they could have made her look more her age.

Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)

I love this movie!

[10/10 · 19 May 2021]

This is one of my favorite movies. There are a lot of good lessons about using time wisely and being true to each other.

A Timeless Christmas (2020 TV Movie)

Can't be bothered to do a little research

[6/10 · 17 November 2020]

It is a typical Hallmark movie that is mildly entertaining. I've given up hope that the hair, makeup and clothing in one of these would be period correct. However, when they start talking about the blue moon in the middle of the month, that's just a little ridiculous. It takes almost a full 30 days for the moon to cycle. This is why we have months. A meteor shower would have been more believable because those aren't normally on a schedule.

Lady and the Tramp (2019)

Even if it wasn't a remake...

[1/10 · 13 July 2020]

This movie doesn't have two feet to stand on. The plot is weak, the dialogue was out of its time period, the time period is out of its time period, voice acting is not the same as acting, and it is so annoying when men are portrayed as bumbling ninnies who can't decide which way is up or down. I can imagine the brainstorming session for this one: "OK guys! We got to make this more PC! How are we going to do that?" "Let's make up an alternate reality and confuse everyone with all of the plot holes." "Won't that make people ticked off?" "It's OK! We'll have talking animals. It'll be fine!"

Medici (2016–2019)

Overdramatic Melodrama

[1/10 · 18 May 2020]

The Medici had enough intrigue and drama, there was no reason to add the ridiculous misunderstanding and inability to act like adults. The song as the beginning was the best part.

Screen Two: Persuasion (1995) Season Unknown, Episode Unknown

A Masterpiece

[10/10 · 22 January 2020]

Everything about this movie is perfection. Watch it and you'll agree.

Troy: Fall of a City (2018– )

Horrible Histories did a better job

[1/10 · 27 November 2019]

Save yourself the time and watch the Horrible Histories about Helen of Troy.

Nearlyweds (2013 TV Movie)

It's three 1950's Romance Comics come to life

[4/10 · 4 August 2018]

My brother gave me a compilation of the classic romance comics from the middle of the 20th century. There are three plot themes from these comics. #1: Overbearing husband wants the perfect trophy wife and makes her feel like a looser when she tries to think. #2: The wife feels like she has to compete with other women for her clueless husband's attention because of the evil designing woman trying to steal him. #3: The husband and the apron strings that were never cut. I think someone was reading them when they came up with the plot for this movie.
