Lucky Christmas (2011)
Yelled at the screen for 90 minutes
Do not watch this horrible movie. A holiday romance requires the characters to have some redeeming qualities. Mike is drunk when his friend Joe steals Holly's car. The next morning they learn that the stolen car contains Holly's winning lottery ticket. From then on, Mike makes bad-natured, self-serving decisions and we get dragged through a plot with more holes than -- I mean the scouts have a Father-Son Pinewood Derby on Christmas Eve?? Would you schedule that? And the ticket is due by midnight on Christmas Eve. Would you staff a lottery office at midnight on Christmas Eve? Mike is unlikeable and his defense of his evil-doing friend, Joe, throughout the entire movie is indefensible. Holly just made another big mistake with her love life.
Blech. It was awful.
The Christmas Dance (2021)
Christmas Movie Full of the Lord Jesus
Who ever thought we'd see a movie where she says, "Your a man who appears to love Jesus... and your single?" The movie is about a Pastor's daughter who has lost her way and comes to her home town at Christmas and ends up producing the Christmas pageant. The main family is full of Faith and the main actress returns to hers, praying to the Lord and falling in love with a Youth Minister and Church musician. There's praying and worship and singing the Holy Christmas songs that never get in the movies.
Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak (2020)
It is a very well produced docuseries to wrap your head around the threat of a pandemic.
In this series, we dip in to a bunch of different lives of people working in medicine, research, public health, and experiencing the effects of viral illness. The series goes around the world and looks at the challenges from a bunch of different angles giving you a grasp of the global disparities and some of the core challenges in why a pandemic could happen and what kinds of hurdles there are to stopping a virus. There is by no means a ton of "God stuff" in this series. There is certainly no religious bent as some of the very duplicative and similar reviews on here try to hint. I think that what some reviewers actually dislike is the focus of the documentary on medicine and vaccines as the defense ultimate against viruses. The critics surely dislike the juxtaposition of the Oregon anti-vaccination movement depicted in Episode 2 against this whole backdrop of a world struggling to avoid death from preventable disease and the next novel, devastating virus. Even though as I write this review there is a viral outbreak, I found the series informative and if not totally reassuring that there is nothing to fear, at least balanced in helping me understand what the problem is and what is being done in the field.
