BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

We meet Grace. She's hanging out with Quinn who is really into her. Grace is really excited to be in charge of decorating the town Christmas tree. Her main goal? Getting the contract to decorate the entire town!

We then meet Ryan. He's a big city finance boy who is trying to figure out what to do with his grandmother's historic St. Nicholas House. He's planning on listing it but gets a call from the mayor. The mayor calls him to see if he'd be interested in reviving the beloved Ribbons and Bows charity fundraiser. He's not so sure about this. So he heads back to his hometown and is pumped to bump into Grace. The sparks are flying.

The mayor comes by Grace's office to see if she'd be willing to talk to Ryan and convince him to do the fundraiser. If she does this for her, she'll move to the top of the list of potential decorators to decorate the town next year. Grace's bff Melanie is pumped about this because they're both single and ready to mingle.

Quinn goes to the St. Nicholas House to talk to Ryan to try to find out about what his plans are for the house since Quinn is a real estate agent and he has a very interested buyer. Ryan says if he decides to sell, he'll call him first.

As Quinn goes to leave, Grace shows up. Ryan asks Grace if there's something going on with her and Quinn. She's like oh it's nothing, we just hang out sometimes. She convinces him to move forward with the fundraiser and that she'll do all the heavy lifting!

Maggie starts hanging up mistletoe around town to help make sure that Ryan and Grace get together. They start hanging out a ton. She even tells Quinn that it's just not going to work out between them.

Everything is working out great aside from not being able to find a 14 foot Christmas tree. But he surprises her by finding one!

But Quinn ruins everything by telling Grace about his plans to buy the St. Nicholas House.

He decides ultimately he's not going to sell. The party happens. And they end up kissing under the mistletoe.

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

This movie starts off with too many words. But no fun music like Star Wars, so I didn't read it.

Cut to a triangle flying close to something that looks like the sun. Inside, these folks in funny robes stand back against a wall when a voice says it is time. This gold stuff turns into their suits. Apparently they don't know each other.

It's 5000 BC in Mesopotamia and a crazy sea monster eats this kid's dad. Suddenly, this superhero flies in and takes that monster down. We see the other heroes take down other monsters. We got a group of 10 superheroes on our hands. They stand in V formation and wait for the people to thank them. One of the heroes leans down and hands a kid a knife.

Here's who we have:

Ikaris: basically Superman

Sersi: can like mess with matter

Thena: creates a weapon out of pure cosmic energy

Kingo: laser fingers

Phastos: creates advanced weapons and technology

Makkari: basically the Flash

Druig: mind control

Gilgamesh: Hulk but not green

Sprite: can change the appearance of things and appears as a child

Ajak: the spiritual leader and healer who serves as the primary communicator with their Celestial creator

Cut to present day and that knife is in a museum as an artifact that shaped history.

The Eternals are still alive, cuz they're eternal. Sersi and Sprite live together in London. Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier. She's moved on and is now in a relationship with human Dane. When the trio is attacked by a monster like in the beginning. They're called Deviants.

Ikaris arrives just in time to save the day.

The Eternals were under the assumption there were no more Deviants. Which is why the Eternals haven't been in action for the past 500 years.

We see a flashback of when Sersi and Ikaris got together…and I mean got together. #NotMyMarvel. They end up getting married.

Back in the present, the 3 Eternals make it to South Dakota expecting to meet up with Ajak, only to find her dead.

So it's time to get the band back together to figure out what to do next.

Sersi is the new leader and meets with Arishem - the Celestial that sent the Eternals to Earth. Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the Emergence of a new Celestial. See, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the apex predators of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but the Deviants evolved and started eating said intelligent life. So he created the Eternals to fight them. Now that the population of humans has reached the necessary size to allow the new Celestial to be born, Earth will be no more.

Sersi doesn't love this and tells everyone else.

Everyone is down to stop the plan. Everyone except for Ikaris. We find out that Ajak wanted to stop the Emergence and save humanity, so he led her to the Deviants and allowed them to kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris cuz she's in love with Ikaris while Kingo chooses to leave, agreeing with Ikaris but not wanting to hurt his friends.

November 3, 2012 | TV Movie

CAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS SONG

Director: Timothy Bond

Writer: Kevin Commins

Cast:

Natasha Henstridge as Diana Thiessen

Gabriel Hogan as Ken Stoddard

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

An all boys school is merging with an all girls school to create...a school. But both music programs are being retained. Diana and Ken have very different approaches to their music classes - Diana is all about music education while Ken is all about just experimenting with music, such as doing a drum circle. So they go to meet with their stressed school principal, Mrs. Gelder, who suggests that the two submit their own individual entries to a Christmas carol contest. Winner gets the music teacher gig.

They have to submit duos, so they hold auditions. Diana gets two girls - Liz who is called "the girl most likely to…" and Amy who is just super shy. While Ken gets cool boy Billy & smart boy Carlo.

Diana and Ken find themselves hanging out more and getting to understand each other more, especially when they find themselves at the principal's house for a holiday feast.

Amy's mom comes to talk to Diana about Amy not doing the competition. It's too commercial. But after Diana pleads for her to reconsider, she gives in and says Amy can do it unless it becomes too much for her.

The competition turns into quite the school feud which is frustrating because Diana and Ken find themselves getting matched up on their online dating site. But they finally end up just having dinner together and it goes great. Naturally word gets out and spreads all over school.

Billy really wants to win, so he siphons the gas out of Liz's car.

They end up getting caught and Diana blames Ken.

The competition happens and the teams join forces. Diana realizes Ken is a good guy and they kiss and keep their jobs.
