All For Love(2017)

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...

Garage Sale Mystery: The Wedding Dress (2015)

Image
OK, it's no Agatha Christie Whodunnit...it's not even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes...for Pete's sake, it's not Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason, and Betcha By Golly, Wow, it's not a Carol Keene's Nancy Drew mystery or anything similar to that, but I like it.  I think THE WEDDING DRESS is my favourite so far. #SpoilerAlert I know, I know, the other viewers were wondering if the Lady Justice had thicker blindfolds or something.  Just because she's a pillar of society she could get away with murder...well, the justification was, she was trying to save a life and... They should've at least made it a homicide.  Instead, they made it appear that there was no crime committed.  There were many crimes committed besides homicide, but... OK, let's not go there. What made me say that's this is my favourite episode so far?  Well, compared to the other Garage Sale Mystery episodes, so far, this is the best for me....

Nearlyweds the movie(2013) and Nearlyweds by Beth Kendrick

Image
Source The Dog's name in the book is CASH ;-) THE MOVIE Directed by Mark Griffiths Written for the screen by Aury Wallington Adapted from Beth Kendrick's novel of the same title The movie has a different approach and there are characters in the book that aren't in the movie(like the stepchildren of Stella) and situations (Mark had a vasectomy in the book and he's the one who gave Stella the cute little dog in lieu of a baby---major difference---in the movie, it's Stella who doesn't want a baby and Mark is the one who wants her to have one...and he hates dogs), et cetera, et cetera ,  but I love them both. These are my thoughts:  The book has a great style and you would want to finish it in one sitting.  Yes, that's how much a great story it is.  It is narrated through different points of views, and of course, if you enjoyed it, you would tend to visualise everything on how each character would look like, their triumphs, their tears, a...

The Bridge (2015)/The Bridge 2 (2016)

Image
From imdb Directed by  Mike Rohl Writing Credits (in alphabetical order)   Karen Kingsbury ... (novel) Jamie Pachino Watching Hallmark TV movies is so addictive so I was not able to keep my promise to myself that I would stop watching them until next week.   I think I would have to undergo withdrawal or something.  I'm exaggerating, of course. KAREN KINGSBURY'S The Bridge is so beautiful that I watched the two parts back to back and I didn't even notice the time. The story proves that communication and miscommunication are very important factors that could make or break you.  It also proves that no matter how modern technology is, there's nothing like reading a good book, whether paperback, hardbound or what have you.    I believe that(I know I should write more about the books I read, but...) truly in my heart. In this story Molly's dad is from the dark ages.  He believes he loves her and is doing e...
