April was a good movie-watching month! It started out slow with "Peter Pan", the original, which I thought was just okay, but a couple of movies later, it really picked up with some movies I really enjoyed. Only a handful of these are produced by Hallmark and despite their cheesy titles, there was only one of those that didn't earn a heart.
The reason I started with "Peter Pan" is because after reading "A Sprinking of Murder: A Fairy Garden Mystery", I started believing in fairies and really taking a liking to the whole idea of them. So I watched "Peter Pan" mainly to see Tinker Bell. I ended the month with her live action origin movie, which I loved more than words can say! I cannot wait to watch the rest of them in her series.
"Austenland", which is based on "Pride and Prejudice" was a huge disappointment to me. I guess they can't all be good, even if they are based on "Pride and Prejudice".
"Small Fry" and "22 vs. Earth" are both movie shorts, each lasting about ten minutes. "Small Fry" is based on "Toy Story" and "22 vs. Earth" is based on "Soul". I've seen both "Toy Story and "Soul" and I liked them, but the movie shorts were just average. I've seen some movie shorts in the past that were really good, so it is possible to fit a good story into such a short amount of time.
I gave some of these movies their own blog posts. In the list below, the links to those reviews are within the title. They should show up in brown on your screen (yellow when you hover over the title). So just click on the title to read the review. The highest rating a movie could get is five tulips.

I want to add that I watched a couple of these over a period of two or three days. The dates listed here are the dates I finished watching them.
On a closing note, I am really disappointed that Candace Cameron Bure switched the the GAC Network. This also means there will be no more Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, to my knowledge. I wasn't really crazy about her Christmas movies, but I loved the mysteries. I'm glad I watched them last month before she left the network because it wouldn't have been the same knowing that was the end of them. Part of the excitement of watching them was knowing there was more to come.
May is going to be another busy movie month. It is Star Wars Month, so I'll be re-watching all nine episode movies (and reviewing them), re-watching both seasons of "The Mandalorian", watching "The Book of Boba Fett" series for the first time, and concluding with the new "Obi Wan Kenobi" series (which will spill over into June).
On top of all of this, I will also watch Hallmark's three Flower Shop Mysteries, as well as the Caps playoff run.
Then I might need a long vacation on a deserted island.
Happy movie watching to all of you!
