The Way Home (2023– )
10/10
Best Hallmark Series Yet! Thank You for the Diversion!
31 March 2023
I honestly think The Way Home is the best Hallmark series I have seen and especially so in recent years. Hallmark has become more and more predictable. This particular series strays from that and it is truly refreshing. The ongoing mystery of the show and the cast makes for a full blown hit. I have looked forward to watching the show each week as well as to the upcoming 2nd season.

First, the storyline is very entertaining as it really is a mystery of what has happened with The Landry Family and friends from past to present. Where will the infamous pond take Kat and/or her daughter Alice each week? Who is involved in all of the years, what happened and how? Is the brother/son still alive and if so in what time frame? The time switch of the same characters adds a true interest that is not often seen in other series. Seriously, the show really holds your attention!

Also, the dynamics between the characters are very entertaining to watch. Elliot is by far my favorite with his quick wit, intelligence, sensitivity and very responsive facial expressions. I love him! He adds interest to the mostly troubled character of Kat. You look forward to seeing where their relationship may or may not go. Kat's daughter, Alice, and her mother, Del, do not disappoint with their storyline and their interactions with each other. Each week they seem to evolve more as the story continues.

Thank you to the actors, writers and ALL who is involved in this interesting show. You have made a successful series, no doubt!

I Feel Pretty (2018)
9/10
Very funny movie with a really good message....
23 April 2018
Honestly, I found this movie to be truly enjoyable and so funny. A friend and I went to see it recently and honestly laughed all the way through the movie. It was truly a feel good movie to us. It has a good message of acceptance. Is it very deep? No, it is not but it does have a very good message of love yourself for who you are and you can be confident without being a super model type.

In the way our society has trended over the years to be as "perfect" as one can be to be accepted, this movie is a much needed relief in regard to this trend. The push to be model thin and fit, not to mention the need for rhinoplasty, breast implants, cheek implants, facelifts, lip fillers, porcelain veneers, modern hair cuts with the latest color trend, constantly manicured nails, etc. to achieve that perfection, is just TOO much these days for many. It seems to get worse each year instead of better.

I honestly feel sorry for those who are young and did not grow up in an era where people were much more natural and beauty was not so contrived and pushed by society in such a profound way.I appreciate this movie in helping others to understand through its message that you do not have to be perfect to be valued and accepted.

I highly recommend this movie.

Chrisley Knows Best (2014–2023)
5/10
Entertaining Southerners
19 July 2015
This is another reality show that is not total reality. Still, I find "Chrisley Knows Best" an entertaining show in a lighthearted way. Honestly, I can't tell you how many times i have laughed at Chrisley and his reactions to various family situations. He has moments where he is hilarious - facial expressions and quick comebacks, especially. I am from the South and find the family totally relatable. Their accents, expressions, food, family togetherness, etc., are quite familiar. Each family member brings something interesting to the show and it makes for an entertaining show as a whole. Also, I appreciate the fact that this show is a reality show that does not shock you with their family values.

Cinderella (I) (2015)
9/10
A Beautiful Fairytale
22 June 2015
I loved this version of Cinderella. The story was familiar, but very well done and felt like a unique embellished version, It was truly a joy to see. The unique nature of the film came from the well chosen cast, truly gorgeous and memorable costumes, beautiful sets and scenery, and thoughtful content from the story's lines.

Cinderella was truly a beautiful film! It was a true pleasure to see a movie that has moral values of the past, but completed in a modern cinematic way. I applaud all of those who were involved in the creation of this timeless film and am grateful to see a film like this one in this day and age.

Excellent Show - Definitely Worth Watching!!
22 June 2014
After watching the new Hallmark series, "When Calls the Heart", I wondered if "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" would be able to fulfill the same level of entertainment. I can truly say that this show DOES fulfill the same entertainment level! My family and I truly look forward to watching this series each week. Once again, we are thrilled with the family series Hallmark has come out with recently.

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" has a wonderful cast of actors/actresses who are ALL very talented and it is very noticeable as you watch each week. Together, they form a unique and quirky cast, each with their own standout personalities in the show. The show also offers equally entertaining and very recognizable special guest stars each week that really add a lot to the shows, such as Carole Burnett, Valerie Harper, Della Reese, etc. - all great stars from the past.

The story lines basically follow a mystery each week that is solved by the end of each show. Romance is also blossoming in the office which adds more intrigue to the show each week. Also, the thoughtful story lines never fail to give a good lesson each week about what is REALLY important in life!

THANK YOU, HALLMARK for providing another decent family series to the 21t century and giving people what they have been missing! This show is another winner in my opinion!

FINALLY a Great Family Series Again!
22 February 2014
I was beginning to think family type series were truly a thing of the past, but when the series, "When Calls the Heart" finally began, I found a show that resembles the type of shows from the past that I still love! Thank you, Hallmark for bringing a a show to the 21st century with values of the past. It is decent, heart-warming, and one you look forward to seeing on a weekly basis, just like shows from the 70's and 80's. My family and I have gotten to the point that the only television series we enjoy watching is by purchasing DVD's of shows from the past like the "Waltons", "Little House on the Prarie", or "Anne of Green Gables" and watching them for hour long entertainment.

Hallmark, I appreciate you bringing a wonderful series with a thoughtful script and great actors/actresses to television. You are wise to acknowledge a market of weekly series that are family friendly, which has been greatly lacking for quite some time!
