    Yep very old. Wow if you told me it was 10 years old I’d still be as stunned.

    Have anyone seen the Hallmark Christmas Movie, "The Christmas Train"?

    I normally don't do Hallmark movies but this one came highly recommended on a podcast I listen too and apparently it's an adaption of a book and the book is meant to be even better!

    Yes! The ending was mad! I was ranting about it for ages at home. :D But I enjoyed it and the cast is excellent. It was on Christmas 24 a couple of weeks ago so no doubt it will be repeated.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    Oh and because the cast is so good it’s easy to forget that it’s Hallmark, but don’t worry, at one point they clearly use a toy train instead of an actual train.

    I still haven't watched it, the storyline is too bleak for me.

    You probably have to watch until the end.

    It’s the best Christmas movie for me. Followed by any number of adaptions of A Christmas Carol.

    I don’t really see action movies set at Christmas as being about Christmas. And home alone is thanksgiving.

    There's a scene where the camera is looking down at the train surrounded by snow and I had to rewind it and call my husband in to show him how fake the train was. :D

    Remember last year Netflix tweeted about the first part of that film saying.. "to the 53 people who've watched a Christmas prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?" Bahaha I thought that was hilarious!! Although I think they got some flack for it.

    Brought my 10 year old to see the new version of The Grinch today, she loved it, a bit more child friendly than the Jim Carey version, not so much leaping around and hysterics, great fun all the same.
