Wow, a #Hallmark #ChristmasMovie that is not a rom-com, more a family drama. Admittedly I laughed aloud on several occasions. Superb writing, editing, acting and all tied together by Daisy (hope that is not a spoiler!) I shall watch this film any season it is shown. If in the UK, it is currently available to stream on #My5. #ChristmasFilms

Well as #ChristmasFilms go, this is a tad unusual. More a mystery/thriller than rom-com. Still there was romance and plenty of laughs. The whodunnit part might be easy for some to solve, but took nothing away from this modern fairytale. And naturally I love that the male-lead is called #PrinceColin! Ha ha ha Also, #GretaSatchi is wonderful as Scary Poppins! #ChristmasMovies

Well as #ChristmasFilms go #AMerryChristmasMatch (2019) is no gem. It has some nice moments, but the script over all has too many flaws and felt episodic. The cast’s acting is fine, but not especially good. Not a #ChristmasMovie for the repeat-list.

Another #TeriHatcher & #DanPayne #ChristmasMovie, but this time quite watchable - if one ignores the preposterousness of this actually funny rom-com, #ChristmasAtTheChalet (2023). TH’s hair looks a bedraggled mess throughout, but p’raps matches her exuberant character. #WilliamDeVry plays an (uncharacteristically for #ChristmasFilms) introverted love-interest. I should view again, but donæ recommend one searches it out.

So we have been watching a few Christmas movies over the break. Yesterday we watch Nativity and Nativity 2.
Nativity is improbable but charming and very satisfying with great performances all around.
Nativity 2: Danger in the Manager, is mostly a series of safeguarding failures, around an improbable journey to Wales. David Tennant gives a nice performance as both the "put-upon" teacher and his nasty twin, but it's pretty thin gruel.
Overall disappointing.

Death On The Nile (1978)

What’s Christmas without a little murder? Ustinov’s first Poirot, and he instantly made it his own. The joyous 70s who’s who and who was, filmed on location, and every minute an absolute joy even though you’ve seen it a thousand times before. It never gets boring. Special praise for Maggie Smith in her first Poirot, who is a delight and a bomb for Lansbury who is hammy from start to exit.
