Movie of the Week Reminder: A New Diva’s Christmas Carol

Posted in Movies, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on December 10, 2022| Leave a Comment »

On December 14, the VH1 holiday movie A New Diva’s Christmas Carol will debut at 8 PM.

Aphrodite was made famous back in the day for performing THE timeless love song of the era. The song that everyone plays at their weddings, in every sappy commercial for diamonds or rings or puppies or soldiers coming home. It made her a ton of money, but Aphrodite HATES this song. She’s now the meanest judge on Pop The Question but her life changes when Brianna, becomes the breakthrough contestant, exuding love and purity.

When Aphrodite reluctantly becomes her mentor, she does everything possible to steer her away from love and love anthems and so is visited by three spirits who take Aphrodite on a journey through love (and Christmas) past, present and future to try and shake her out of her funk and let love back in.

The cast includes Ashanti, Eva Marcille, Mckenzie Small, Mel B, Robin Givens and Vivica A. Fox.

Unfortunately there isn’t a trailer for A New Diva’s Christmas Carol.

Posted in New Shows, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on December 9, 2022| Leave a Comment »

The limited series Kindred will debut online on December 13 on FX on Hulu.

The limited series centers on Dana James (Mallori Johnson), a young Black woman and aspiring writer who has uprooted her life of familial obligation and relocated to Los Angeles, ready to claim a future that, for once, feels all her own. But, before she can settle into her new home, she finds herself being violently pulled back and forth in time.

She emerges at a 19th-century plantation, a place remarkably and intimately linked with Dana and her family. An interracial romance threads through Dana’s past and present, and the clock is ticking as she struggles to confront secrets she never knew ran through her blood, in this genre-breaking exploration of the ties that bind.

The cast includes Ryan Kwanten.

Posted in Movies, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on December 8, 2022| Leave a Comment »

Overwhelmed by her high-powered agent, a bombastic Hollywood director, and a totally tricked-out, off-base holiday spectacular, a country music superstar bolts from her outrageous lifestyle, seeking a haven at her grandma’s Tennessee farm.

Rather than refuge, she finds romance when she reconnects with her handsome ex, a return to her musical roots, and an unexpected family when she discovers three clever kids who’ve outsmarted the foster system are living at the family homestead at Christmas.

The film stars country legend Tanya Tucker, Keith Carradine, Ana Ortiz, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Olivia Sanabia.

Here is a trailer for A Nashville Country Christmas:
