Tangerine - Started off with an unusual one about transgender prostitutes. Filmed quite realistically gripping me in more as it went. Won't be on the annual Christmas list tho lol 7/10

Everly - I'm not usually into films that is just action from start to finish, but I had great fun with this, squish, bang, knife, splat. Loved the Christmas Carols over the initial carnage, ha! 7/10

Once Upon A Christmas Miracle - Mushy Hallmark flick. It was nice. 6/10

Posted by Pghgurl (Member # 37514) on :

I will be inundated with Hallmark movie watching by the Husband! However, my favorite is The Christmas Card, which I watched already last week. It is supposedly The favorite Hallmark Christmas movie.

Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :

Oh, I like that one [Smile]

lol @ your husband watching them [Smile]

Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :

Die Hard 2 - Obviously not a patch on the first and can get a little draggy in the final third. But it's probably the most I've enjoyed it so 7/10

Posted by gordongecko (Member # 4685) on :

Helen_S - I really like Die Hard 2 because of the snow. It gives it more of a Christmas vibe than the original. Obviously not as good overall, but still love seeing this one around Christmas time.

Posted by TheHoff (Member # 37515) on :

Die Hard 2 was good but not a patch on the first one, I think it would have been better if John McTiernan was director, he skipped number 2 but came back for 3.

Also 1 has Let it Snow and Chritmas in Hollis [Smile]

Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :

[Smile]

3 is def my fave after 1!

Thanks, I haven't seen this until now.

Thankfully they didn't show E.T the new Ghostbusters [Smile]

A Rose For Christmas - I don't expect these kinda Christmas mush films to be amazing but I certainly don't expect them to bore me half to death either! 3/10

Pete's Christmas - Not as good as Pete's Dragon. [Razz]

7/10

A Christmas Carol (1938) - First time seeing this version and it's instantly become one of my favourites. The only fault maybe (although that isn't really the right word as it made a nice change) is that it doesn't really have the incredible highs and lows of other versions. It was just a thoroughly joyous easy viewing experience. 8/10
