From  imdb Directed by  David Weaver Written by  Kelly Bowe After being stood up, Abbey gets inspired to open her heart in a letter, put it in a bottle and toss it out to sea. Months later, a man fishing discovers it and opts to reach out. Starring  Bethany Joy Lenz  and  Andrew Walker . Original airdate: April 13, 2019- The Hallmark Channel My feet felt like floating on air after watching this movie.  Yes, I was on cloud nine, and I still am. It took some elements from certain classics, but it also added some reality, and something new to it. I wasn't able to watch Snowed-Inn Christmas when I watched this, so I wasn't sure if their partnership could work, but I was pretty amazed that it did. There's just something about BETHANY JOY LENZ that makes you go beyond her looks.  Little by little you would love the character she's playing, then voila , you would see how beautiful she...I mean, her character...is inside and o...

The Story of Us (2019)

Directed by Scott Smith Story by Deborah Jones Teleplay by Tracy Andreen Not a lot of people would agree with me, but TRACY ANDREEN made an old story look interesting.  I had a good feeling when the movie ended, so why should I say otherwise?  People were kind to MAGGIE LAWSON, but people were mean to SAM PAGE. Why?   They don't see chemistry?  Well, I do. Maybe it's not as lovey-dovey like the other stories or as mushy, but this time I welcomed the gradual process of getting back together after being separated for a long time, like PRINCESS BRIDE , and PERSUASION , two books that talked about in this movie. Yes, the story is formulaic.  I know, I know, I get tired of the same old story too, but it's sort of different.   Come on.
