8. Eve's Christmas (2004)



Director: Timothy Bond
Written by: Jeffrey Schenck, Peter Sullivan
Starring: Elisa Donovan, Sebastian Spence, Cheryl Ladd

A businesswoman is given the chance to travel back eight years and and marry the man she jilted to persue her career.

I think this film is pretty much the low-point so far. 30 minutes in and I seriously started considering ways to get out of this whole challenge because the thought of having sit through another 42 films of this sheer, unmitigated tedium was pretty soul-destroying.

There were only two moments of interest in the entire film. The first was when Donovan mentions Japanese porn, so incongrous to the whole film that it stood out like a dildo in Hamley's. The second was where her character designs and launches (in 1996) an e-commerce website for a bookshop during the course of an evening and the next day the shop is swamped with orders. They even have a computer in the shop marked with a sign saying 'Order online here!'. Or you could stay at home and order, maybe? Not getting this whole internet thing are we?

1/5

So yes, I'm struggling now so your sponsorship would be great encouragement. I'm also starting to run out of films. OK for a few days yet, but it looks like I'll have to start buying some in :/
