I enjoyed Unlocking Christmas from start to finish. Taylor Cole was great as the female lead, she always gives a great performance, one of my favourite actresses who was backed up by Steve Lund and an infectious and enthuasiastic set of supporting cast. I'm not one to nit pick a film like so many that give reviews, it either entertains me or it doesnt. Hallmark have provided some pretty good Christmas films this year, Unlocking Christmas is right among the good ones. It has a lot going for it, romance, mystery, sub plots and a happy ending, all you can expect from Hallmark so well done for that. Taylor Cole was a strong lead here as she always is so just watch and enjoy the film.

Too Close For Christmas
(2020 TV Movie)
Fabulous
7 December 2020
What a wonderful Christmas film. Jessica Lowndes was fabulous, I have watched and enjoyed everyone of her Hallmark/Lifetime films and they just get better and better, such a multi-talented lady and as ever, a strong female lead. The movie has a great supporting cast, everyone gels so perfectly. I found it funny with plenty of touching and romantic moments. It's the sort of film that you can put your feet up with a glass of brandy and watch from start to finish. It's a real early christmas present for sure. It might have been predictable for some but whats wrong with that when its such a great film. I loved it, one of those movies for me which you can watch over and over again and still feel good about it. 10/10 for me.

A Fabulous Christmas.

Loved this film from start to finish. A mixture of romance and mystery. Jen Lilley was great in the lead role and there was really good chemistry with Trevor Donovan. A really good supporting cast made this a film not to miss and I will definitely be watching it again. My father served in the Royal Navy and I had the fortune to attend a Tiger Cruise myself so I can relate to the story line. There is an added mystery surrounding Dorothy from the 1st Tiger Cruise from years before, other viewers will have to watch to see the outcome. Hallmark have scored a hit in my book with this movie. This is a great movie to enjoy when you are relaxing with your feet up and having your own glass of wine. Best part is you will smile, laugh and most likely give that familiar Awe sound at a great ending. This is just one of the many films that has Hallmark rivalling even the major networks.
Sailing Into Love
(2019 TV Movie)
Fabulous Setting.

Another really entertaining Hallmark movie. A different storyline to a wonderful love story. A lot of criticism for Leah Renee but I like her and she did well as the lead lady with a good chemistry with Chris McNally. I didnt have a problem with her voice, other reviewers are too picky, shr should lead in more of Hallmarks romances. The scenery was spectacular and made this another Hallmark film I just had to watch from start to finish. I will watch this again. Well done Leah and Chris and well done Hallmark. Put a smile on my face.
Over the Moon in Love

Loved this one.

I am an avid fan of Hallmark films, even if I have to wait to see them in the UK. This is one of my favourites. Written by Jessica Lowndes, the lead lady too and she provided a great song in the film, she's a fabulous singer in her own right she is very multi talented and my favourite actress. I was pleased to see Wes Brown as co-lead, they worked well together and the chemistry towards the end felt real. Supporting cast were good led by Miranda Frigon, all flowed effortlessly, for me anyway. I can relate easily to the concept of losing touch with people for many years, as someone who spent much of his life in the military it happened to me many times so I really enjoyed this aspect of the storyline and even more so the meeting again after so long, great idea that worked for me. Well done Jessica, this is my favourite Hallmark film.
Yes, I Do

Wonderful.

I knew I was going to like this film as soon as I saw Jessica Lowndes and Jen Lilley were both in it. My two favourite actresses and neither disappointed. I loved every minute of this, both actresses worked well together, good rivalry and kept the story going smoothly throughout. A good supporting cast, Marcus Rosner who I saw in Poinsettias for Christmas with Bethany Joy Lenz also performed well as the lead male at odds with his fiance. I'm sick of reading rediculous reviews from people with titles and comments like "Worst Movie Ever" when obviously it isnt, this clearly was a cracking Hallmark film that I will definitely watch again, actually I already have :) Some reviewers should still to reviewing Blockbusters if all they have is negative comments for good Hallmark quality films.
Batwoman
(2019–2022)
I quite enjoyed this series.
20 September 2020
I'm a big fan of Ruby Rose and quite enjoyed watching this. I've read all the negative reviews, it may not be the best but it was worth watching simply because of Ruby. Why people review with "Worst Ever" is beyond me when clearly it isnt. Looking forward to the 2nd series.
Paris, Wine & Romance
(2019 TV Movie)
Brilliant.

This was a great film to watch, another Hallmark success. I really enjoyed this one, Jen Lilley was superb as always, I've been a big fan since watching Mingle All The Way, she carrys films so easily and in a realistic down to earth way that anyone can relate too, her screen presence was amazing. The accompanying cast were well matched and worked well together. Being a Hallmark movie I'm surprised so many reviews are nit picking, A charming film, I think made better for slight differences in pronouncing words, names or places, I have trouble with some places here in the UK, particularly in Wales, it happens all the time so who is really bothered that it happens with French in a great Hallmark movie, not me. The cost of re-filming scenes to achieve perfection would be rediculous. It wasnt until late that I noticed the "bump", until then I thought it was just a great figure. I'll definitely be watching this again.
Merry Matrimony
(2015 TV Movie)
Another Cracking Hallmark Christmas Movie
27 August 2020
I'm late to watching this movie as it's not often I get to see Hallmark in the UK unless Sky Channel are showing. I have read the negative reviews and wonder what these people were watching. I thought it was a really good Christmas made film. Jessica Lowndes was perfect again, I really like her films along with Christopher Russell although he did seem a little wooden at times but I can forget this with such a good leading lady. The rest of the cast supported well with all interacting perfectly with each other. I thought both leads were realistic and believable and had me chuckling to myself often. Some of the situations have happened to me. Very good Hallmark movie, I really enjoyed this one.
The Christmas Parade
(2014 TV Movie)
Great
18 August 2020
Enjoyable from start to finish. Watched this twice now and gets better with each viewing. Good story line, although a re-hash it holds it's own amongst Hallmark movies. Great chemistry between the 2 leads, first time I've seen Annalynn McCord and she gave a good performance. Good interaction with the children too. Another good Hallmark Christmas movie.
Once Upon a Christmas Miracle
(2018 TV Movie)
Wow, Wow and again Wow
28 June 2020
No question in my mind, the 2nd best Hallmark Christmas and Romance movie ever behind Magical Christmas Ornaments. The 2 leads in Aimee Teegarden and Brett Dalton was very impressive and inspired, fabulous chemistry between them both making it very believable, particularly as it is based on a true life event. The rest of the cast were great too. As a Military Veteran it is not often I have a lump in my throat watching a movie but this film delivered and I was reaching for a box of Kleenex throughout. A WOW of a film to be sure.
Rediscovering Christmas
(2019 TV Movie)
The Singing and Jessica Lowndes made this film.
27 June 2020
At last the producers are letting the multi-talented Jessica Lowndes sing. Her "The Best Gift" was absolutely fabulous. I'm pleased the producers are letting the cast spread their wings some. The storyline didnt really take my breath away, I thought BJ Britt was awful and uninterested in his role as were others in the cast. Without Jessica Lowndes it would not have been particularly watchable to be honest. I have given this a 9/10 off the back of the singing from Jessica and her acting. I hope Hallmark give her more movies with more singing.
Magical Christmas Ornaments
(2017 TV Movie)
Magical.
15 June 2020
One of my favourite Christmas films. Jessica Lowndes is brilliant, I was absorbed from start to finish with her performance. It was excellent to follow the progress through the film as to what ornament would be sent next and the way they all intertwined with her life and the neighbour next door. A great Christmas film with a lovely ending. Good supporting cast made it well worth watching.
