The Nanny Express(2008) and All Yours (2016)

Image
Directed by  Bradford May Writing Credits  ( WGA )    Judith Heiman Kriegsman , Stephen Langford , and Riley Weston This is not the first story where the father who is a widower falls in love with the nanny taking great care of his kids.  Old movies and TV shows have had topics like this one, and I know a few people who fell in love in real life. Among the reel stories, this is one of the most beautiful and most serious of them all. Although not all the time, more often than not, the story starts with uber creative bratty kids who eventually grow in love with the nanny, and the nanny loves them in return. Here, one kid in elementary school, and a teenage girl. Before the nanny in this movie gets into the picture, for almost three whole years after the kids' mother passed on, different nannies experienced all the pranks these two brilliant minds thought of. When she came along, she still experienced everything they experienced...

Brian and Jenny are preparing for the grand opening of their bed and breakfast, Emily's Country Inn, when a big storm hits Buck County. Brian agrees to go back to Wall Street to boost their funds, while Jenny scrambles to keep the opening on track.   Stars  Lacey Chabert  and  Brennan Elliott . Director: Terry Ingram Writer: Karen Berger The sequel of All of My Heart THE MOVIE I'm probably what you call a   contra pelo.  Many people didn't like this second installment because they say it doesn't have a life of its own.   Well, since I have my own thoughts, I'm going to say I like this movie.  It's not perfect, but it works. Now regarding the inn... They did say they remodelled it so if it's a different place, they tried to justify it. Did I like the ending? Well, I think it's more of a cliff hanger. Which did I like better?   Of course, nothing beats the original.  Would I watch the third ...

Christmas Encore(2017)

Image
Following years of bit parts and near-misses, aspiring New York actress Charlotte Lacy, is about to throw in the towel and move to Chicago to take a real job when she lands the lead in a new production of A Christmas Carol. She nails the part and finds unexpected romance with her director, TV star Julian Walker, along with a renewed passion for her craft and the city. But when the historic theater loses its lease and the show is set to fold before it even opens, Charlotte and her cast mates find themselves in need of a Christmas miracle . Starring  Maggie Lawson   and   Brennan Elliott .- THE HALLMARK CHANNEL Kinikilig ako! Kinikilig ako! That's the effect the movie has on me.  At first I was saying, "Maggie Lawson is beautiful, but her voice is too squeaky."  A few minutes later, I like her already. Then when the leading man entered the scene I said to myself, "Why him?" Then I saw and felt the magic when the two of them were together....

How do I like the three movies featured on this blog entry? I like KISS AT PINE LAKE , but not as much as CHRISTMAS INCORPORATED .  I love ONCE UPON A  HOLIDAY best. ( Source ) KISS AT PINE LAKE Thirty year old Seattle-based Luke Garvey is a philanthropist of community and social causes, his efforts largely as the anonymous President and CEO of Zeppo Enterprises, which is managed by his best friend since childhood, Tommy Atkins. Luke's latest investment is Camp Pine Lake in northern Oregon, which he bought from his Uncle Charlie despite knowing the camp is in a state of disrepair. Luke attended the summer camp for most of his growing up life. He wants to retain the camp as is - generally a throwback earlier eras - as an homage to his childhood and a place to where kids that are like he was can make their own future memories. But he finds out from Tommy that he doesn't really have the money in liquid assets to make the necessary extensive repairs to keep the camp o...
