Middleton Christmas: Movie Review

A lot of sweetness, romance, drama and cheesiness.

Middleton Christmas starts out as pure sweetness. Hershey chocolate wrapped in a glittery red bow. You know exactly what you’re getting when you unwrap it, but it’s sweet and comforting, and oh so bad for you, especially in large quantities, so hopefully we can keep these movies to a minimum this year (I say that knowing it’s the first week of November, I’ve already seen two, and avoided another dozen).		2020 Directed by: Dale Fabrigar Screenplay by: Tricia Aurand, Suzanne DeLaurentiis Starring: Kennedy Tucker, Michael Varde

Operation Christmas Drop: Movie Review

No romance but a feel-good finale.

Netflix’s newest addition to the Christmas romance genre starts out very shaky but eventually lands on its feet. Viewers who can get past the unfunny, unromantic, very typical opening with unlikable characters, will eventually be rewarded with a feel-good, inspirational flick. The set-up is awful, but the pay-off is solid especially for movies of this ilk.		2020 Directed by: Martin Wood Screenplay by: Gregg Rossen, Brian Sawyer Starring: Kat Graham, Alexander Ludwig

Wheels of Fortune: Movie Review

An over-the-top trashy comedy that does provide some laughs.

A trash comedy in the vein of Talladega Nights but somehow takes itself less seriously and still has a bit of heart to it. It starts in Tennessee. Bo Jackson is a mechanic for a tractor pull racer and this is because he’s a loser, as he likes to call himself. He has no money and no father, until a big city lawyer shows up with a fancy briefcase and a will from his unknown dead father promising Bo the chance to win money.		2020 Directed by: Shaun Paul Piccinino Screenplay by: John Ducey Starring: Matt Jones, John Ducey, Matty Cardarople, Noureen DeWulf
