Taking a Shot at Love (2021)

January 14, 2023 by Steve Leave a Comment

He Shoots... He Scores! Taking a Shot at Love (2021) Oh man. An absolute classic right here. Just a slammin' Hallmark banger. There has been a lot written in the local press about Avon resident Julie Sherman Wolfe and all the Hallmark movies she's been writing that are set in Connecticut, but nowhere did I read how … [Read more...]

A Very Nutty Christmas (2018)

December 20, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

7th Hell A Very Nutty Christmas (2018) What do you get when you write a terribly trite and hackneyed modern fairy tale and bring together the star of a late 1990's teen sitcom, the star of a late 1990's family drama, the star of a early 2000's hit sitcom, a star of a long-running Broadway musical, and... a guy who … [Read more...]

Next Stop, Christmas (2021)

December 31, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Choo on This One Next Stop, Christmas (2021) I have whined on this website that it's often a slog watching some of these "Connecticut movies." And it is. And now that Hallmark and others are fixating on our little state for several of their cheesy Christmas movies every year, it's not getting any easier. But … [Read more...]

Holiday in Harlem (2021)

December 28, 2021 by Steve 1 Comment

Holiday in Hartford Harlem Holiday in Harlem (2021) I didn't watch this movie for its plot or acting or anything like that. I watched it for its location shots. I was intrigued by the idea of the director trying to make Hartford into Harlem. And, for the most part, they pulled it off - certainly well enough for a … [Read more...]

A Very Merry Toy Store (2017)

December 27, 2021 by Steve 1 Comment

Let's Not Toy Around A Very Merry Toy Store (2017) Amato's Toy and Hobby of New Britain closed at the end of February in 2022. I blame this movie. I really wanted to like this awful movie. Believe it or not, on a certain amygdalan level, I happen to like dopey Hallmark/Lifetime movies where everyone is pretty … [Read more...]
