December Movie Wrap-up

My final movie list of 2022! I watched a total of 238 movies in 2022, including re-watches and including The Guardians of the Galaxy special. Letterboxd had it listed, so since I logged it there I decided to include it here. I did really love it! 

Some people gasp when I tell them I watched over 200 movies this year, but let's keep in mind that the vast majority are Hallmark movies, which are less than 90 minutes long without commercials. I watch about 40ish minutes in the morning while I eat breakfast and 40ish minutes in the afternoon while I eat lunch.

Most of the movies I watched in December were Hallmark Christmas movies, with the exception of Top Gun, Top Gun Maverick, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. I was very impressed with Top Gun: Maverick. Rarely is a sequel as good as the first one, but this sequel was so much better than the first one! I am planning to review it soon (as well as Thor: Love and Thunder), but for now I will say Top Gun: Maverick was my favorite movie of 2022.

As far as the Hallmark Christmas movies go, my favorites were The Santa Stakeout, which I reviewed on Caboodle of Cozies, and It's Christmas, Eve. Neither of those were released this year, but I've been wanting to see them since last year and I finally did. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed both of them. I had no idea that LeAnn Rimes is such a talented actress!

Campfire Christmas was released in July (for Christmas in July) and I did watch it then. However, that was the movie I was watching when I realized I had that echo in my ear that ended up lasting all week. I knew I liked it when I watched it then and I wanted to watch it again without the echo in my ear. It was a more pleasant experience this time around. :-)

However, my favorite movie of the entire holiday season was Hallmark's Hanukkah on Rye. How strange that it would be included in "Countdown to Christmas", but I do appreciate the fact that Hallmark is beginning to show more diversity in various ways. Apart from that, this was just a really well-done movie. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to watch it again and make it the last movie of the year that I watched.

And that's a wrap! This will be the last time I am posting my monthly movie wrap-up on this blog. From now on I will post it on Caboodle of Cozies. I'll be slightly altering the theme of that blog so it fits with everything else I post there. I hope to see you there!
