August at the Movies

Here we are at the end of September and I'm just getting to my August list of movies watched. 

My focus was mostly on summer-themed Hallmark movies, but I also watched two others - "Death on the Nile" (starting the book today!) and "Grease". "Grease" was Qandi's favorite movie to listen to and after Olivia Newton-John, who played Sandy, recently passed I wanted to watch it again. It's a sweet story, I think. It isn't perfect, but the singing and dancing in it are amazing. It's a feel-good movie. Death on the Nile is a mystery with some cozy elements in it. I thought the first half was very slow, but the second half made it worth watching.

As you can see from the very few hearts in the list below, I was not overly impressed with the Hallmark movies I watched in August. I was especially looking forward to the ones that were filmed on location somewhere else besides the U.S. and Canada, but several of them were a disappointment. I found that in those movies the scenery was stunning, but the story not so much. They weren't terrible, but they weren't all that memorable either. Honestly, I can't even remember why I liked "Two Tickets to Paradise" so much. Lol. I might have to watch that one again next year if it airs then.
