Snowkissed (2021 TV Movie)

Keep scrolling past this one.

Christmas movies set a low bar- this one was nowhere near reaching said bar. Boring, illogical, no chemistry and just plain strange. It's a Christmas movie, so I wasn't expecting realism, but some romance, escapism and pretty scenery is a requirement. This movie just delivered boring scene after boring scene.

I watched with my mum and she missed the first 5 minutes- as I gave her a run down I said that the main character is still in her whiny, stressed and annoying phase and I couldn't wait until she got to the small holiday town and discovered the joy of Christmas and stopped whining. Unfortunately, this didn't happen.

Also, does anyone else think it's a little ironic that somebody who lives in New York was advocating for being happy with what you have in life- it's New York, you have everything you could ever dream of and still never stop!

PS. Goldfish shouldn't be kept in bowls that are only slightly bigger than them with no filters - animal cruelty red flag!

Justified: Fire in the Hole (2010) Season 1, Episode 1

One of the best pilot episodes I've seen.

[10/10 · 4 December 2020]

This episode was a little crazy, unique and filled with great music to perfectly set the tone of the show. The immediate introduction of Raylan as an old school, extreme "lawman" with a succinct and riveting first scene.

The unbalanced rambling of Ava and Boyd in their first conversations with Raylan immediately showed how different these characters were and the stark, depressing setting depicts a tragically isolated and backwards little corner of the US that we don't usually see on tv and in movies.

The music is incredible, awesome indie artists that Encapsulate the white trash, backwards country vibes, while still being great enough that I want every song on my playlist. Music truly sets the mood of this show as well as the stark wide angle shots that show the depressing countryside.

The first time I watched this premiere it was nothing like I was expecting. It had none of the slick style that you come to expect on tv, and made me feel just a little off kilter. That's the kind of thing I love in a tv show. Watching this pilot again in 2020, I appreciate this show even more. It was truly a show that could only live in the time between The Sopranos and Game of a Thrones.
