Mamoru Hosoda is back with an ambitious new take on HAMLET, with its gender-swapped antihero pursuing her revenge on Claudius, even in the afterlife.
I'm glad I took the time to see SCARLET twice, because it's even more rich and daring than it appears at first glance.

SINGLE ON THE 25TH both the extremely rare Hallmark joint that goes out of its way to say being single is OK AND one of the more genuinely romantic holiday movies of year. Needed mid-movie kiss and could have done without party planning of it all (ugh), but Lyndsy Fonseca is a solid Hallmark heroine

My take: better than some Hallmark mysteries; somewhat okay as a one-setting mystery; a solid lead investigator character; Rob Mayes is cute here; the ensemble cast is at the same level as in the MYSTERY ISLAND movies; the credits scene is most likely computer brain nonsense, so can't recommend.

Might be nothing on the Hot Frosty level this year, right? Netflix did release 4 new Christmas movies. Champagne Problems has a fun character or two. And there are all the Hallmark movies, Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! might be most comedic of those. And then there's A Very Jonas Christmas Movie!
This may look like an ordinary knitted scarf made with magenta yarn, but it’s really how you get a Hot Frosty with shredded abs
I wonder if magenta yarn sales spiked after this movie came out
Is there a new movie like that this year? I mean fun romances. Not necessarily with magic scarves
