Sailing Into Love (2019)

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...

(teleplay by) "You've been taking care of everyone for a while, let me take care of you."-Prof. Noah Ferris to Amy  I don't know how accurate that sentence is, but the essence is there. The ending might be predictable, but the paths leading to the ending is like the maze of corn in the story. It is a very sweet story about a mother and a daughter who have a very good relationship.

Sara Rue and Steve Bacic A novelist and a Navy SEAL must team up for research purposes on a book, and the novelist is not thrilled about this collaboration. However, she soon has a change of heart and begins to look at her life and her writing from a different point of view.- Rotten Tomatoes THE MOVIE Genre: Drama Directed By: Lee Friedlander Written By: Mark Famiglietti , Michael Testa , Tracy Andreen , Lee Friedlander Runtime: 120 minutes Studio: Book Road Production Ltd. Note: I read the reviews AFTER writing my thoughts, but decided to copy paste three of them below.  I think you'll understand why. SARA RUE(Jo Payden) and STEVE BACIC(Colin Kelly) have good onscreen chemistry.  I think being a retired highly decorated Navy Seal suits Mr. Bacic, and Ms. Rue's eyes lights up when he's around.  It's very convincing, and it makes me wonder if the feelings are true. For actors, that's a good thing, right?  Right! The rest of t...
