Would you like to time travel back to 1962? Watch some of the television shows Beth (and sometimes Marty) watched? Listen to the music they enjoyed? I’ve even added some commercial breaks, a few full-length television episodes, and I’ve added a splash of inspirational sites where I found fashion and other accessories mentioned in the […]
A Long Way Back to Troy
In 1971, Jeannie Travis’s world was turned upside down by her high school classmate “Truck” Hardy. Jeannie was from the posh side of town; Truck was not. Jeannie had dreams of graduating, attending Mount Holyoke College, and one day teaching children. Truck wasn’t sure he would even make it another week of school without flunking […]
Christmas Movie Review: My Secret Santa (2025)
In My Secret Santa, Alexandra Breckenridge (Virgin River) plays single mom, Taylor, who disquises herself as a man to get a job in a ski resort . . . playing Santa Claus himself. It’s kinda like a Hallmark holiday movie meets Tootsie . . . or Mrs. Doubtfire. But, in this case, there’s the resort […]
Christmas Movie Review: A Very Vintage Christmas ((2019)
If you, like me, enjoy vintage anything, you’ll love this movie! First, it stars Tia Mowry who I can now say I’ve seen grow up (I used to watch her and her twin sister Tamera (alongside my girls) in the TV show Sister, Sister. Secondly, it also stars (in the male lead) Jesse Hutch who […]
Christmas Movie Review: Operation Mistletoe

So, of course, I find it horribly cruel when someone (anyone) says nasty things about my baby/babies. So, it is with great […]
Christmas Movie Review: Snowed Inn Christmas (2017)
What a delightful way to spend an hour and 26 minutes! Once again, Andrew Walker is making his Christmas movie appearance. Does the man ever get tired to saving some damsel in distress from herself? (I’m inserting a smiley face here.) Bethany Joy Lenz plays said damsel . . . and, before anyone from my […]
Christmas Movie Review: A Christmas in Tennessee (Lifetime, 2018))
Here we have it, the typical Christmas movie . . . but you’re gonna love it anyway! Why? Because not only does it star Santa Claus, but Mrs. Claus as well! Andrew Walker plays single real estate developer Matthew who has been sent with his assistant to a small town in Tennessee to close a […]
Christmas Movie Review: Fallen Angel (2003)
I have watched this movie every Christmas (and sometimes when it’s not Christmas) for eons. It is, after all, 22 years old. The movie begins when Terry McQuinn (Gary Sinese) is a young boy living with his widower father, “Mac.” Since the death of his wife, Mac has built a wall around his heart, shutting […]
