Take Me Back for Christmas (2023)
Christmas takes a back seat
Another 2000 The Family Man movie inspired from the It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol genre. Directed by Corey Sevier and written by Kate Pragnell. The Hallmark Christmas movie leads Vanessa Lengies and Corey Sevier have good chemistry together. Vanessa Lengies stands out as a fine physical comedy actor. Supporting roles include Kimberly-Ann Truong as the elf and Brynn Godenir as the best friend. The hockey scene gave the movie a Canadian feel, even though it was supposed to be set in New York. To me, the story line was basically that she knew what she had to to, but was stuck because of grief. There is an extremely sad plot point of a deceased person that was a little cruel to the audience. I felt like Christmas itself took a back seat in this movie, but the lead actors made this a very good Hallmark Christmas movie.
Triangle (2009)
Sisyphus Loop
This movie came up while I was searching for the movie "Primer" on a website. I can't believe I missed this for so many years. I would put this in the sci-fi/fantasy, horror category. It is a loop movie. The twists and turns of the story end up making sense. Most of the clues are not hidden and easy to figure out. The cast is very attractive and talented, led by Melissa George and supported by Michael Dorman, Henry Nixon, Rachel Carpani and Liam Hemsworth.
Spoiler:
The yellow sticky note on the fridge has the time, 8:30, to meet Greg at the Triangle. I would have liked to see Jess do the whole loop one more time and keep her promise to Death, and have her son waiting for her in the taxi as they continue their journey.
