Invitation to the Dance
(1956)

A must see for all lovers of musical, dance movies!!!
I am so happy that I taped this and got a chance to watch it! In all the years of watching TCM, I never seen this before. Thank goodness, I now will look at the movies lineups for early thru the mornings, to find rare gems, not shown at most viewing hours, like 5pm to 10pm! This was just AMAZING!!! How could you not like all 3 shorts movies. There was no need for words, because the dancing, and music told the stories! Yes, too bad Gene Kelly didn't get more credit for his wonderful work! Highly recommended for all dance, musical movie lovers! A rare gem indeed!!!!

A Christmas Mission
(2020)

A charming, must see movie!
This is a good movie. The leading actors did a great job! Miss Mary Antonini, who I had never seen before, is just lovely and a fresh new face, and I hope she does many more movies! And who doesn't love watching Mr. Michael Xavier, he always does a good job! They really made a cute couple! Plus I really appreciate the side story of the sister and the partner, how it was toned down, but being believable from today's life! Yes, the story line of these Christmas movies are predictable, but showing family love, sharing memories, and happy endings is what they are all about, and why fans look forward to see them each year! This was an enjoyable one!

Christmas with a Prince: The Royal Baby
(2021)

Another nice, warm, hearted movie!
I just have loved these movies from the first one! They make me laugh, and cry, and are just charming! Who doesn't love a prince and princess fairy tale story! The couple look so believable together! Hopefully there will be another one, maybe after the baby is born! I never understand in reading other reviews, why people say bad things about movies! We already know that movies are only for entertainment, and that, sure, they can be predictable to the end, and yes, sometimes, the characters do or act in really not real life ways, so what, don't bad bash it! As long as Christmas movies are delivering family time, love, and happy endings, that's what it is all about, and why we watch them! I was taught that, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all! Quit watching them, go find a sex filled, cuzzing, killing, violent, "Hollywood" movie, and leave the Christmas movies to us, Thank you!!!

The Christmas Edition
(2020)

The Best one this season!
This was really good! This was my first time seeing Carly Hughes, and she was fantastic! It's nice to see new faces in these movies! She is a good actress, and from looking her up, she can really sing! Too bad she didn't get a longer singing part. And her matching up with Rob Mayes was believable! Not the falling deeply in love in a short time, but really connecting with someone for the interest of the cause! I took off 1 star because please, can we get another story line, besides going to Alaska, and seeing the Northern Lights. And can the actors, do a better job of drinking those "HOT" drinks!!! That won't stop me from watching all the available Christmas movies, because they still are fun, enjoyable, happy endings, which I like!

Hi Bye, Mama!
(2020)

Highly recommended great series!!
I just had to write a review on this series right now! This is one of the BEST ACTING , AND EMOTIONAL, FUNNY SERIES TO DATE, that I have watched! It will have you crying, and laughing out loud! The ghost theme is what made me want to watch it, so cute! The actors are just amazing!!!!! They can be so emotional in their roles, it doesn't even seem like they are acting their parts! Its like they really are living the story! I am telling all my family and friends about this series, because it is so enjoyable! I don't even mind that I have to read the subtitles, its that good! There is so many great things to watch in other ethnic culture entertainment, thanks to Netflix, and other outlets! I truly enjoy them! The writer who is making this is really wonderful in keeping you hanging on from one episode to the next!! I do hope that it will get a ton of reviews, and will give us many seasons! I'm only on the 4th episode, and I'm hooked! What a great entertain, during all of this pandemic days! Please, please, I dare you, just watch the first episode! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Small Island: Episode #1.2
(2009)
Episode 2, Season 1

Very good story!
I just watched episode 1 and 2, and really enjoyed this series! The actors were very good, and showed great emotions throughout the story! I was so hoping the story ended another way, with the truth coming out, which I won't give any spoilers, but really did enjoy the ending!

Little John
(2002)

Such a good, emotional story, worth seeing!!
This is such a good story, with such good acting!! I have always enjoyed Ving Rhames, and Gloria Reuben, both great actors! And I'm so glad to see that today, Robert Bailey Jr. is still acting! I had never seen, or remember this being on, and I'm so glad I found it on Directv! For the movie to go through each character's feelings, to finally reveal the main reasons at the end, made it all the better!! I highly recommend this to be watched, for a movie you won't forget!!! Plus that's my kind of ending!!!

Been So Long
(2018)

Refreshing, surprising Movie!
This is one of the best movies, I have seen in a while! I did not know at first that it was a musical, but that was just an added bonus! It reminded me of West Side Story, or Dirty Dancing! It had a different story line, that was enjoyable! I will definitely recommend it to be watched!

The Royal Hibiscus Hotel
(2017)

Refreshing, New, Love Story!!
This is one of the best love. funny, well acted stories I have seen for a while! I love the beautiful black actors, and enjoyed that it is just as good as the typical "Hollywood" made movies!! Also, not a lot of sex, and language to make it good!! Its so nice to see fresh new faces in our culture, that are so talented! I will definitely be looking for these actors and other movies from Nigeria! Also I'll tell others to boost the ratings! Please keep making these movies!
