So far I have made it through 7 of the movies and I liked most of them. Here is my list so far:
(Internet Movie Database movie descriptions are used)
Black Nativity
(2013):A street-wise teen from Baltimore who has been raised by a single mother
travels to New York City to spend the Christmas holiday with his estranged
relatives, where he embarks on a surprising and inspirational journey.
My take: It is a musical, which was a nice surprise for me.
And such amazing voices- a Christmas treat for me
The Best Man Holiday
(2013)When college friends reunite after 15 years over the Christmas holidays,
they discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to
be reignited.
My take: This movie had light moments, but a dying best
friend breaks my heart every time.
Jennifer Lopez: Dance
Again (2014)- A documentary that chronicles Jennifer Lopez's life on and
off-stage during her first ever world tour.
My take: My favorite moment- Jennifer and Marc sharing the
stage in Puerto Rico
CBGB (2013) A
look at the New York City punk-rock scene and the venerable nightclub, CBGB.
My take: A guilty pleasure for this New York girl of the 80’s.
The Normal Heart
(2014) A gay activist attempts to raise HIV/AIDS awareness during the early
1980s.
My take: Powerful, sad and amazing. It is a reminder of how
it all started not so long ago.
The Other Woman
(2014) After discovering her boyfriend is married, Carly soon meets the wife
he's been betraying. And when yet another love affair is discovered, all three
women team up to plot revenge on the three-timing S.O.B.
My take: A silly comedy and girl-power. In a word, fun.
August: Osage County
(2013) A look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston family,
whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the
Oklahoma house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.
My take: Dreary, sad, dark and ugly. The acting may have
been great but I want my two hours back.
