Netflix Hints at Another Season of Gilmore Girls
Is Gilmore Girls getting renewed?
Netflix is taking us way back with a nostalgic GG message. If you remember the good ole days when April used a eighth grade science fair to reveal her father’s identity, then Netflix’s recent tweet should hit home with you.
The popular online streaming site shared the photo above and this message on Twitter, “Where’s an eighth grade science fair when you need one? #GilmoreGirls”
I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping it’s Logan! He is a show veteran, and it’s only fair that he be the dad. No one knows who the other two characters really are anyway.

Movie Review: “The Rooftop Christmas Tree”
“The Rooftop Christmas Tree” is not what it seems.
Stars Michelle Morgan, Stephen Huszar and Tim Reid are all apart of the movie about a small town with one eccentric neighbor set in his ways. Dale Landis (Tim Reid) is determined to put a Christmas tree on his roof every year for some unknown reason to the local court. Since his tree violates the town’s rules and Dale refuses to take it down, he faces jail time every Christmas. Lawyers Sarah Wright (Michelle Morgan) and John Riviera (Stephen Huszar) join in on the confusing tree battle to get down to the bottom of it. Fortunately for viewers, there is a very happy ending for Dale with an added Christmas miracle.
“The Rooftop Christmas Tree” sounds like a very good film on paper, but it is very slow moving. It mainly focuses on the budding love story between Sarah and John and gives Dale hardly any screen time or lines. They talk about his court case throughout the film, even though they don’t interact with him much.
I have been a fan of Tim Reid since his “Sister Sister” days, so I was disappointed in the way the entire story progressed. If you are looking for a another quick holiday love tale with a touch of community, this is for you. Tim Reid’s role is more guest starring than anything else.

Movie Review: “A Puppy for Christmas”
“A Puppy For Christmas” has great acting, a nice soundtrack and Hallmark like quotes sprinkled throughout. Stars Cindy Busby, Greyston Holt and Christopher Russell brought the story about a dog lover to life.
After writer Noelle’s life falls apart thanks to her new untrained puppy, she is forced to spend Christmas with a co-worker and his eccentric family. The clan quickly grows to love Noelle and her canine friend, and she discovers an important lesson in true love.
Like I stated in the first paragraph, this movie has some great qualities, and I enjoyed watching it for the most part. The only thing I would change would be Noelle’s morals. Why is she so quick to move in with the men she’s dating? Christmas films are usually pro-family and marriage, but the ending left me feeling a little disappointed.

Movie Review: “Falling For Christmas”

“Falling For Christmas” is “Ice Princess” meets Hallmark!
Actors Leah Renee, Niall Matter and Michael Tiegen star in the family friendly film about following your heart. Leah plays injured figure skater Claire who travels to a remote rehabilitation center in the mountains to heal her wound and get back on the ice. Unfortunately, her injury is so severe it threatens to end her career. So, she has to make a brave decision to fight through the pain and continue skating, or embrace a new life and follow her heart.
Along the way, her controlling coach continues to push her in the wrong direction, while quarreling with her potential beau (an ex-hockey player named Luke).

Even though the movie was a little slow moving, it was still one of those feel good films that the entire family can enjoy. Overall, it has the elements you love about holiday films with a touch of originality. Actors Gracyn Shinyei, Lochlyn Munro, Lisa Whelchel also star.
