As of late, I have been noticing Hallmark movies taking a recent and disappointing nose dive. I just wasted 2 hours watching Blue Sky River. Emmanuel Vaugier seemingly read cue cards with no life in her acting. She is terribly thin with the black stick straight hair and bright red lipstick just do not suit her fair skin. Kavan Smith, appearing to also be reading from cue cards, follows Emmanuelle's lack of brightness in his acting. His hair style looks like that of the early 80's. Come on Hallmark. I am a fan but all your movies but you cannot rely solely on your Christmas movies to carry all the others during different seasons.
