Movie Review: This Christmas
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the story of a solidly middle-class African-American family that reunites for Christmas for the first time in seveal years. Ma'dere is the Matriarch who's Los Angeles home is where the vast majority of the story takes place. As with any family gathering there are topics that are best not discussed. When they are discussed here they end up in fights -verbal or physical (an excellent sister-on sister catfight stands out here). One sister is encouraging the siblings to sell the family dry cleaning business and split the profits. One bother is running from loan sharks. One brother is AWOL from the Marine Corps and One sister has brought along the man she's dating at a historically Black college. I really enjoyed this movie, all the casts were magnificent and so beautiful I am looking forward to watching it again. This is a Christmas Movie indeed.
Movie Review: AWESOME....DESTINED FOR "CLASSIC" STATUS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
With its "can't miss" cast, I thought for sure that This Christmas would be a hit...and I wasn't wrong. Loretta Devine "M'Dear" is the matriarch of her family of six (did I miss anyone?)....who has been scarred emotionally by the love of her life...who deserted her and his family to pursue his love for music. Unfortunately for M'Dear, not one but two of her sons have that same love....leaving her with a fear of further desertion. Insert also cheating spouses, sibling rivalry, interracial romance....and the constant tug of war between her longtime partner (Delroy Lindo) and her eldest son (Idris Elba), and there is never a dull moment in this flick. Add to that a great soundtrack...and you have a recipe for success. Great "eye candy" (for both sexes), also. Don't make the mistake that I did of renting this one....purchase! Makes a great addition to any DVD library.

Movie Review: The Movie of all times
Summary: 5 Stars
This Christmas is about a family that has some baggage like most families in this life time. Through it all the Whitfields on Christmas day come together as one at the end, to me that was the highlight of the movie. I can sit and watch this movie a hundred times because the plot and music was outstanding. In these times and days, all families should get on one accord and receive a message from this movie. Time out for so much hatred and violence. I do not purchase violent movies at all. The writers, directors & procducers should STOP making movies that are violent. I get so sick and tired of that mess. Chris Brown's singing was outstanding. I love that song "THIS CHRISTMAS", however no one can sing it like Donny & Layla Hathaway. BUY THIS MOVIE PLEASE. From the Queen of the nation!!!!!!Movie Review: Just buy it - trust me!

This movie is cute, cute, cute! First of all, the cast was awesome! Columbus Short, Chris Brown, Idris Elba, Regina King, Sharon Leal, Laz Alonzo, Loretta Devine, Delroy Lindo, Mekhi Phifer.. just to name a few - WOW! There was so much eye candy.. ok but that's not why this movie was great. The direction was very well done in this movie (good job, Will!). It has a "Soul Food" feel to it with the element of food, family and the typical sibling rivalry issues in all families. The movie was fun and funny - I enjoyed it through and through. This is another great movie to play during the holidays when you have a mixed generational group of people to entertain. It could even inspire some fun activity within your own holiday plans. Enjoy! :)Movie Review: You"ll Want This Chrtismas Every Christmas
Summary: 5 Stars
It is so nice to discover a new movie that will become one of my "Must Watches" every holiday season. This is a story about a family of adult children, returning home for the holidays. The baggage that each of them brings with them is what makes this story so interesting. And to top it off, Mama has a little baggage of her own! In the end though, you are reminded that it's family that counts.
I was loving Chris Brown in this movie. He has made quite a bit of drama for himself since this was filmed. Maybe Chris should watch the movie again and get back in touch with the wise, centered character he played here!
