There aren't any surprises here, but Colorado Christmas gave me almost exactly what I was looking for: a warm, romantic piece of comfort for Christmas. After a hard day taking care of everything, I just wanted to get under a blanket and watch a movie to make me feel relaxed and happy. This little movie is just what the doctor ordered. Sweet as Christmas cookies. The only surprise was an unexpected appearance of Diana DeGarmo! She was one of my favorite American Idols so it was great fun to watch her. Don't expect exploding cars or nudity and bad language, but do expect to feel the warmth of love and Christmas. Just what the doctor ordered.

Sooooooo boring!! I kept waiting for a plot, for something to make sense. Ugh. Just nothing. I don't get it. It doesn't have to like the original Penny Dreadful, but if it's going to have the name attached to it shouldn't it have some of the same flavor? God, so disappointed. I thought the original was brilliant. This is just a dull mess.

This was probably the best film I've seen in years!!! Charlize Theron was remarkable as Megan Kelly, almost eerie in her portrayal. Margot Robie was a revelation. Kate McKinnon was underutilized and Nicole Kidman was almost in a throwaway role, but the casting was spot on. I was terrified for these women, enraged at their situation and appalled at the culture that was allowed to form and thrive. How anyone could call this a "left wing" movie is beyond me, unless sexual harassment and abuse can be considered "right wing " values. It has nothing to do with it being about Fox News. We could have climbed into many corporate climates. It just so happens that Fox News prides itself with being "fair and equal" and the fall from grace was so very far and so very loud. An empowering and extremely important film. I have to note that the showing I went to had a small audience of 10 people,only two were men. Both men walked out before the film ended. The women stayed and applauded the film. Perhaps too much truth? Maybe they were expecting a film where 3 blond hotties got into cat fights? Oh, well. They should have stayed. What if a woman in their life was subjected to this behavior? Would it become important then? Or just another "left wing" piece about how women have actual brains and aren't pieces of meat to be ogled and discredited? Should be required viewing.
