@IAmNoirAD @JonnyRoot_ @thechosentv The pharisees condemned him for having followers who were tax collectors and ex demon possessed prostitutes. He said he came for everyone. "Love one another" is the greatest commandment. Also "judge not."

Trying to watch @thechosentv S4E2, but the video on the Chosen app is constantly freezing and lagging or dumping me out. Is there something up with the app? Watching on Roku.

@SleepyKittyPaw I agree. I liked her and I liked the movie. Fresh and quirky. I hope we see more of her.

@hallmarkchannel @VRodriguezIII Truly loved this one. Thank you for such a heartfelt story.

#christmasinnottinghill from @hallmarkchannel is their best holiday romance movie this year, IMHO. Fantastic London setting, charming leads with real chemistry, a likely family ensemble, and a footie player. 4/5 stars.

Watched #amerryscottishchristmas from @hallmarkchannel. Lovely setting, fantastic castle, Lacey Chabert was charming and natural, as always. The story was somewhat original. Not a fan of the brother character but otherwise enjoyable. 3/5 stars.

@SleepyKittyPaw I'm so glad to hear that. If your faith is based on all the people you dislike and can't abide to see, you need to rethink your faith. Very glad that's not what most people want to watch or support.

It was a good viewing night with #HaulOuttheHollyLitUp on @Hallmark @and #TheNaughtyNine on @Disney+. Very different moveis but I loved them both.

Feels like a slow start for me, but here's my ranked holiday list for 2023 so far. Highlights include Genie and Catch Me If You Claus. Follow along here: https://t.co/jgCLW80l53

Last night we went classic with IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE and DIE HARD. Both 5 star classics in my book--for entirely different reasons.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Here're my top 16 Hallmark movies for 2022. I tend to favor romances and not favor (heart)heavy dramas. I enjoyed all or these and more. Kudos to @hallmarkchannel for a great season with better scripts and fresh ideas.

REVIEW 3.5/5 stars #TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas @hallmarkchannel Another new format for Hallmark this year. This one has a stage play in which 2 lawyers debate the authorship of the eponymous poem. I enjoyed this. Good cast, lots of chemistry, & ghosts! https://t.co/qjkd6TbgnV

REVIEW: 4/5 stars #Noelle I have a fondess for movies set in the North Pole/Santa's Workshop. This one features Santa's son and daughter and who will take over the mantle. It does a great job with the whole mythology. Great cast, fun story. https://t.co/arfo8WOioX

@hallmarkchannel So many! But I’d have to say when Sam goes to tell Jason how he feels at the end of #TheHolidaySitter. And both families are watching. Lol

[Christmas Movie Elf @XmasMovieElf]

REVIEW: 4/5 stars #ViolentNight I loved this! David Harbour is perfect as the kick-ass, hot, ex-Viking Santa. It's a fun action movie, but w/ Christmas cheer, inside jokes & a remarkably sweet ending message. "I'm gonna eat them through like a plate of cookies!"
A new classic.

[Christmas Movie Elf @XmasMovieElf]

REVIEW 3.5/5 stars #HanukkahOnRye @hallmark. The conflict was a bit manufactured, but overall this is a charming story with delish food, strong cast, & a wonderful ending. Best Hanukkah Hallmark yet and a fitting end to a great season of movies. https://t.co/LX2fM9KMVE

I really enjoyed #HanukkahOnRye @hallmarkchannel . What a fresh and fun holiday movie season! Sad the premiers are over for this year.

[Christmas Movie Elf @XmasMovieElf]

@hallmarkchannel Really sad it’s over for 2022. Thank you for a more original and brilliant holiday movie season this year!
