Movie Review- A Nashville Christmas (2020)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, when the Hallmark Channel announced their Countdown to Christmas lineup for 2020, they announced many movies that peeked my interest. One of the movies I wanted to watch the most is A Nashville Christmas Carol. It was advertised to have multiple country singers in the movie playing characters. Because of the country singers, and the fact it has a country music feel to the whole entire story, I wanted to watch the movie.

In November, the Walmart closest to where I live put out the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies on DVD. One of the movies they put out was A Nashville Christmas Carol. Once I saw it, I picked up a copy and, when I had the time, I watched the movie. Continue reading “Movie Review- A Nashville Christmas (2020)” →

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In 2019, the Hallmark Channel announced one of their new movies for their Countdown to Christmas will be a movie called A Christmas Love Story. It interested me, but I didn’t think about watching it until I found out one of the stars of the movie is Kristen Chenoweth. I am a fan of Kristen Chenoweth, so I knew I would like to watch the movie. Unfortunately, I did not have the Hallmark Channel so I waited until the movie was released on DVD to watch it.

Movie Review- A Christmas in Tennessee (2018)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A while ago, I discovered a two DVD set of two Lifetime Christmas movies. The movies peaked my interest, so I purchased the DVD to watch. Since then, I watched the movies and decided to write reviews about them.

The first movie I watched is called A Christmas in Tennessee. It stars Rachel Boston, Andrew Walker, Kate Moyer, and Bill Essiembre with Caroline Rhea, and Patricia Richardson. It is about Allison Bennet (Boston), a single mother of a daughter that lives in White Pines, a fictional small town in Tennessee’s mountains. She lives in the same building as a bakery she and her mother (Richardson) run together. As Christmas grows closer, Allison, who is struggling to keep up with her bills because of slow business, meets Matthew (Walker), a real estate broker who, with his very pushy and opportunistic assistant, works at a development firm that wants to buy the whole town of White Pines and turn it into a high end ski resort. At the same time, Allison’s daughter’s letter to Santa Claus, which asks to bring more business to the bakery, blows away. The loss of the letter eventually leads a woman with white hair that looks similar to Mrs. Claus (Rhea) to visit the bakery with the intention of finding cookies that she and her husband can offer to guests at their Christmas Day party.

Earlier this month, I wrote a review about the movie, The Christmas Ornament. I purchased it as part of a movie set of four movies from the Hallmark Channel. Since I already watched one movie, I decided to watch another. This time, I picked A Very Merry Mix-up. Continue reading “Movie Review: A Very Merry Mix-Up (2013)” →

How to Watch It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on PBS

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Tonight, PBS will show It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on their TV stations. This will be the first time since 2019 the show has aired on TV. I really liked the show growing up and watched it every year, but I was disappointed and upset when it didn’t air on TV in 2020. Fortunately, I already own my own copy of the show on DVD, so I could still watch it. I’m very excited to watch the show again, except on TV instead of on DVD.

Last week, while researching what time the show will be on, I discovered not all PBS platforms will carry it. The PBS stations for over the air TV and cable will air the special. The channels are the original PBS station and on their station that airs only children’s programs, PBS Kids. Even the over the air and cable PBS channels will air the show, the online streaming services and apps for PBS and PBS Kids will not be showing it. And this is why I’m writing this post!

In order to make sure you will be able to watch the show, please read this article on PBS’ website. Also, check the times when the show will air. Last year, I learned that the hard way when I tried to watch the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special. Some stations will air the show at different times on different channels. So, make sure to pick a channel to watch and double check what time the show will air.

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for watching!

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Today is the first day of the Hallmark Channel’s Count Down to Christmas. I will not be able to watch the movies on the Hallmark Channel because I don’t have the Hallmark Chanel (Nor a streaming subscription), but I’m very excited to see some of the new movies. Even though I will need to wait a while to see the movies, I still wanted to talk about a few of the new holiday movies that peaked my interest this year.

Movie Review: Cats (2019)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In July 2019, I waited to hear about the new, big budget film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, Cats. My friends and I are fans of musicals, so Cats was a film we wanted to see. Even though we wanted to see it, we felt worried because of the cast. There are many actors and actresses that are very good actors, but we didn’t know how the lineup will work in the movie. Still, we were hopeful… until we saw the trailer and the horrible animation.

When the movie was in theaters, I didn’t get to see it because I was busy and because I was so upset about the trailer I didn’t care much to pay money to see it in the movie theater. My friends ended up talking me into seeing it but before we made it to a theater, it wasn’t there anymore due to bad reviews and very bad animation.

Almost two years after it was in the movie theater, I decided to sit down and write a review about it. It was branded to be a Christmas movie before it came out, so I wanted to save my review for Blogmas, yet I didn’t enjoy the movie so I decided to post the review whenever I got around to watch it.

Profusion Cosmetics x Mean Girls Haul

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

While on a recent shopping trip to Walmart, I saw the Profusion Cosmetics x Mean Girls make up collection. After looking at the collection, I decided to buy some pieces from the collection. Even though the collection had make up products, I wanted the non make up products more.

The first item I purchased is a mini brush make up set…

 

The set has five brushes that include a powder face brush, an angled face brush, a flat shade eyeshadow brush, blending eyeshadow brush, and a brow brush with spoolie. Each of the brushes have a different quote from the movie. The brushes are a great size to use as travel brushes.

The next item I purchase is a make up bag…

 

The bag is tall, but it is not very wide. Despite this, it can hold quite a lot inside of it. It’s a really good bag. I’m very happy to own it!

 

The last item I purchased is a hand held mirror…

 

I needed a new hand mirror, but I wanted a more elaborate mirror with Victorian inspired designs on it. I’m still on the hunt for the mirror, but this mirror is so nice I decided to buy it. The mirror is not very heavy, making it easy to hold. The mirror is large, so it will be easy to see more in the reflection. Also, the mirror is sold with a sheet of plastic stuck on it to protect the mirror from getting scratched up. The plastic will need to be removed if it is going to be used.

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

Movies I’m Excited to See- Fall/Winter 2021

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After a year of the pandemic, movies I really wanted to watch are now coming out in movie theaters! Right now I’m trying to be picky about the places I go, when I go, where I go, and why I want to go. This decision is due to worries about the pandemic, as well as my attempt to not stay out late because of my day job. Going to see movies is one of the places I feel comfortable to go to.

After looking at the movie theater listings for new movies, I found four movies I want to see in the movie theater. I might change my mind about seeing the movies in the theater, but right now I’m pretty sure I want to see these four movies when they are available to watch in the movie theater.
