Cooking With Love (2018)

Image
Written by Marcy Holland and Justine Cogan Gunn Directed by Jem Garrard There have been many cooking shows in the past that have been tackled in a lot of love stories in different forms, and different formulae have been tried and tested for these types of programs or movies, or what-have-you, and some of those formulae have been used in this movie, but I still love this movie because it still offered some uniqueness in how problems were dealt with, and how the love story developed. ALI LIEBERT and BRETT DALTON have a good onscreen chemistry, and they surely made my heart flutter more than once, and those two kids, ARIA BIRCH and CHRISTIAN MICHAEL COOPER as Becca and Cody respective, are naturals.  šŸ³ Honestly, I read some reviews and some were saying that the two lead characters lack chemistry.  I beg to differ.  There's magic between them.

Love by Chance (2016)

Directed by Gary Harvey Story by Brian L. Ross who also wrote the teleplay alongside Karen Berger It's BEAU GARRETT'S 36th birthday today, and I'm glad that I chanced upon this movie on her special day. There would probably be spoilers, but not too much, I hope. My favourite couple is actually the tandem of Sam(GARWIN SANFORD) and Helen(BRENDA STRONG), the parents of Claire(Ms. Garrett), the female protagonist.  I like that Sam trusted Helen more than anything, but he didn't appreciate her meddling with their daughter's love life very much. Unlike in the movie Flower Girl, where the grandma was not being a good judge of character, the mother here is well-meaning, but she tends to scare people away, and it almost included the male protagonist(BENJAMIN AYRES). One even called her crazy. Well, I don't wanna give away the major scenes in this movies, but I like this movie very, very much. There are scenes that could have been written in another way...

Small Town Christmas (2018)

source Nell’s last stop on a nationwide book tour takes her to the town of Springdale, the hometown of Emmett Turner, a young man she met over five years ago while both were junior copy editors at a New York publishing company. Nell was hurt when Emmett stood her up for a dinner date and then disappeared from New York without any explanation. Back then, Emmett’s colorful, nostalgic anecdotes about Springdale inspired her to write the book that is shaping her life and especially her holiday season. Starring  Kristoffer Polaha  and  Ashley Newbrough .- The Hallmark Channel   Written by Samantha Herman Directed by Maclain Nelson This made for TV movie is one movie that I would love to know what happens next.  The story could survive on its own, but I would love to see how it progresses. By writing the things above you would probably guess that the inevitable  happened...that story is somewhat predictable. Well, maybe so, but there are so many...
