Lost in Love (2023)
Disguised Turkey Travelogue
Turkey looked good during this movie but strangely deserted in many places.
The local inhabitants, apart from one (no spoilers) were amiable and generous.
The was some attempt to include Turkish culture but it was minimal.
The two main characters were a good match and there was some chemistry.
The female lead, Ms Fletcher, is well experienced in the industry and it showed. The male lead was adequate.
The plot was pretty much a repeat a of many of this genre we have seen before and was subsequently full of the usual holes.
But if you have a rainy afternoon that needs 90 or so minutes to fill in this is a movie for you.

Christmas on Windmill Way (2023)
Stale Old Plot.
Oh boy!
Script writers or AI?
Maybe the latter could have done better.
Same old plot we've seen 100 times before.
Surely there is room for more thought and research going into this type of movie genre. It's treating regular viewers with a little bit of contempt in my opinion.
In addition there is absolutely no chemistry between the leads.
She is devoid of any emotion physically or verbally, delivering the lines in such a wooden stilted manner.
He is obviously struggling with the script too as he is much more animated in other movies and TV series.
Maybe the editing contributed to the stilted conversations, who knows?
But all in all disappointing!

Love on a Limb (2016)
Could have been better.
Agree Ashley Williams can be OTT.
This spoils the movie somewhat but she does settle down a bit towards the end.
I noticed she was an executive producer so maybe the director was a bit hamstrung in controlling her overacting Thank goodness for Trevor Donovan as a stabilising force.
The plot was a little un Hallmark like but did have a bit more substance than their normal offering.
More like this would be a good move for Hallmark?
Had to smile at the park's war memorial.
Supposedly set in the USA the dates on it were 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.
I think the USA was involved a little later than this in both cases.
So obviously Canadian location.
