What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

'Tis the Season to be Irish - 2024

It's break week for my college kids, so we've got some Hallmark Bingo to get done. We saw the sheep in this picture and decided it couldn't be that bad. Right?

A woman lives in houses while she fixes them up and then sells them. She magically buys a cottage in Ireland based on one picture and two seconds of thought. When she gets there, she learns that not only is the place a dump, she can't modernize it. Weird Irish Batman is trying to keep the "historical" charm of the place.

I call him weird Irish Batman, because every time he spoke, he had a low, gravelly voice. We also couldn't understand him. I think the weird, gravelly thing messed with his accent, because I wouldn't have believed he was Irish. 

Big shoutout to Lambchop. That super clean sheep made the movie somewhat tolerable. I'm not sure why Matthew (shepherd man) thought his "fence" was practical, but maybe he was trying to find the sheep a new home. 

No one got a bingo on this one, and everyone hated it. There weren't enough scenes with Lambchop, and I can't tell you much about the plot. It wasn't worth our time.
