Kristy H (1252 KP) rated Chateau Christmas (2020) in Movies

Nov 11, 2020

Fairly run of the mill Hallmark Christmas movie made more enjoyable by the presence of Luke MacFarlane (Brothers & Sisters), who elevates everything he touches. A pianist is forced to celebrate the holidays with her family, where she reunites with her ex (a cellist), who is directing a Christmas concert at "the Chateau." Lovely music and excellent inclusion of older actors as various musicians. Patterson and MacFarlane make a good couple, no one is forced to give up their career (gasp), and there's some real and not forced emotion. Worthwhile entry in the 2020 slate.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Winter Sisters in Books

Oct 6, 2020

Albany, New York, January 1879; two young girls go missing during a deadly blizzard and are only found weeks later, when the city is amid a devastating flood. This new novel by Robin Oliveira follows some of the same characters from her 2010 best-selling novel, “My Name in Mary Sutter” but if you haven’t read that, don’t let that stop you from reading this book. Find out why in my latest #bookreview of “Winter Sisters” on my blog here.

Whimsical

Reminiscent of Childhood

Not My Favorite

This is an adorable tale about two young sisters and their father moving into a new home. This place is a bit of a fixer upper but the whimsical and magical little house makes the whole place seem alive. The whole film is very memorable of a childhood filled with adventures through the woods and dreams of meeting strange new creatures. Although not one of my favorites of the Studio Ghibli films it still holds it own within the collection.

When Birds Attack

The Birds- is one of my favorite alfred hitchcock films.

The birds- is mysterious, dramatic, horrorfying and overall a great movie.

Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) meets Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor) in a San Francisco pet store and decides to follow him home. She brings with her the gift of two love birds and they strike up a romance. One day birds start attacking children at Mitch's sisters party. A huge assault starts on the town by attacking birds.

The birds is a must see film.
