Christmas Getaway (2017)

Image
From imdb Raven Stewart and Travis Van Winkle ( link leads to the source ) This movie is almost perfect except for the part where a very beautiful successful Travel Writer named Emory is so insecure of Alice because she thinks Alice is perfect.   Maybe she does not look in the mirror a lot.  What's wrong with her?  I know she doesn't want to assume or anything, but Scott ditches Alice most of the time, and his eyes twinkle whenever she's around. Oh well.   I won't be technical, don't worry. I love this story mostly because of Katy and her Nana named Marilyn.  Of course, Scott and Emory spell m-a-g-i-c perfectly.  You can really easily see the chemistry between them.  Emory did not have that with William. Oh, another thing, this is also one of those movies where the kisses are reserved towards the end.  Did I spoil it for you?  The moments are perfect, so you better watch out for that. There a...

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...

A Family Thanksgiving (2010)

Image
A wealthy, successful corporate lawyer ( Daphne Zuniga , “One Tree Hill”) is living the high life in New York City with little time for anything except her lavish lifestyle until a close encounter with a bizarre mystic (Academy Award® Winner Faye Dunaway , “Network”) drops her into an alternative reality to see what her life might have been like had she made different choices.- The Hallmark Channel Director: Neill Fearnley Writer: Emily Baer They are not hiding it.  This movie could have been given the title, "FAMILY WOMAN".  It's almost exactly the same, less the big screen/cinematic elements the Nicolas Cage starrer that awed the viewers, prompting them to talk about "them" over coffee, dinner or what have you.   Still, this one warms the heart.  True, not everyone needs a person of the opposite gender or another person of the same gender to be complete, but sometimes we overlook people who notice us, but just don't know how to approach us or tell...
