What we’ve been watching recently
Mixtape (2021)
Netflix’s new film takes us back to 1999 and doesn’t disappoint with its soundtrack, Y2K mania and a heartfelt story with a happy ending. Beverly’s parents died when she was two, and her grandmother Gail doesn’t like to talk about them, so when Bev finds a window into their lives in a mixtape, she tries…
Christmas Catch (2018)
Undercover Detective Bennett, dressed as an elf, fails miserably at flirting to delay a suspect and the fiasco lands her a suspension. This is how Christmas Catch gets started, and the writing and filmmaking left something to be desired. That being said, we still enjoyed this film! As far as Christmas movies go, this was…
Single All the Way (2021)
After finishing up perhaps the worst Christmas movie ever, we started in on Netflix’s newest offering Single All the Way. At first glance, Netflix must have spent their Christmas budget just on the list of actors in this film, not that it guarantees a successful story. This one didn’t disappoint! Desperate to get his family…
Christmas Break-In (2018)
We picked this movie over a couple other Christmas movies on Netflix tonight because neither of us had seen it and we thought with Danny Glover it had a better chance at being well made. It wasn’t. Let’s make this post short and sweet: there was one sweet moment of the movie, and it involved…
My Dad’s Christmas Date (2020)
While not really a Christmas movie, this film about life after tragedy found ways to make us cry and warm our hearts. Poorly rated online (5.4 on IMDb), the movie focuses on the isolation felt by a father and daughter years after an accident stole the mothers life, and we eventually get to see a…
A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (2019)
Half traditional Cinderella story, half modern rom-com, Christmas Wish delivers some feel good moments, more cringe-worthy scenes, and several new, auto-tuned songs to boost your holiday spirit. Our Cinderella is Kat, who lives with her step mom and step sisters, and of course does all the work in the house while the rest live on…
Operation Christmas Drop (2020)
Is there anything that can ruin the Christmas spirit better than the government? As congress considers closing the Air Force base in Guam a congressional aide is sent to uncover the truth behind “Operation Christmas Drop” and ends up in the middle of a Christmas miracle. This movie was…not great, but the charitable theme based…
King Richard (2021)
Although tennis fascinates me, we are not a tennis household and were not familiar with the backstory of Serena and Venus Williams, so it was fascinating to watch Will Smith portray the father who will let nothing interfere with his plan for success. All of the girls were great, they were devoted to family and…
Love Hard (2021)
Our first Christmas movie of the season, Love Hard begins with a young woman in LA going on bad dates and writing about them professionally. Natalie is getting tired of the game and is looking for real love, which sets her up for the ultimate catfish from a guy across the country. After a cross…
In Good Company (2004)
Can a movie be feel good if the couple isn’t together at the end? Well In Good Company is evidence that it can, as we felt great at the end. What was the stranger pairing, Topher Grace and Dennis Quaid, or Topher Grace and Scarlett Johansson? Spoiler alert, Topher ends up alone and happy, and…
