Sailing Into Love (2019)

Image
From imdb This movie, besides being a love story, is about fighting for what we believe in, especially when we know we are in the right.   For me this movie is very timely because of all the hullaballoo happening around me.   Sometimes I cringe when people congratulate me for what I "did", as if it's something great, but I did what I did, and I said what I said.  I won't take back what I said. ON MAKING A STAND BECAUSE I LOVE GOD AND OUR PARISH COMMUNITY PRAYER VIGIL THE MOVIE CHRIS MCNALLY(Lt. Cdr. Tom Hastings) and LEAH RENEE(Claire Richards) look visually beautiful together, but many people said they had a hard time listening to Ms. Renee because of her squeaky voice. Acting wise, they both did great.  If they are not a real life couple, they sure made me believe that they are in love, or at the very least, super attracted to each other. I like that the viewers who usually complain about Hallmark's style of "clif...

When Carly plans Snowden Peak's Snow Ball with Jesse , their attraction is undeniable. But when Carly's twin, Prince Gustav , arrives her royal identity is nearly exposed. As Jesse and Carly decide to hold the ball at Summit Lodge, they make the gala a fundraiser to turn the resort into a year-round destination. But without a celebrity draw, investors aren't interested, and Snowden Peak is put up for sale. Too bad no one knows any royalty who could entice affluent socialites to the gala, which could raise enough money to make Snowden Peak a four-season resort for royalty and commoners alike. Written by  Hallmark Directed by Allan Harmon   Written by Erinne Dobson You guessed it right.  Whether you saw the trailer/teaser or not, you would know in your mind that it's a royal meets commoner story.  Yes, another one of those ... Yet, there's something delightful about this story.  The attack  is different, and the Royal Family, and the friend who is ...

Same Time Next Week(2017) with some notes on a production of They're Playing Our Song

This is such a beautiful story about dealing with grief and so much more.  When people we love die, a part of us dies with them.  The pain would be lesser as the days go by, but they will always have special places in our hearts. Our central characters, Sarah(JEWEL STAITE) and Ryan(TRAVIS MILNE), have recently lost their respective spouses.  They briefly meet when Sarah had a minor mishap, but when bump into each other in the cemetery, they have a little chat at a diner that serves very delicious pies served by the most sarcastic person on earth.  Of course that's an exaggeration.  Anyways, after their chat they decided to have their little support group and promised to meet at the diner the same time the following week. I like the flow of this story.  The dialogues...the conversations rather, should really be heard.  We should really listen.  I am sure we could learn a thing or two, even if this movie is not preachy. There are different k...
