Anne Marie Kerr (Emma Samms) is a professional photographer as well as a career journalist who travels around the world taking assignments from top magazines. She travels with her associate Barry (Ian D. Clark) he is a very talented computer programmer, writer and manager; he actually wears many hats who is a great asset to Anne Marie.
It sounds like quite an intense scene! The sudden shift from a dangerous situation in Mexico to the tragic news about Anne Marie's brother adds a layer of emotional depth to the story. It seems like Anne Marie and Barry are accustomed to high-stakes situations, given their professions, but nothing can prepare them for the shock of losing a loved one.
Anne Marie was approached at her brother's funeral by Tiffany (Krista Bridges). Tiffany introduced herself as Alan's fiancée. She told Ann Marie that Alan's death was not an accident--he had been murdered.
Tiffany told Anne Marie that Alan had a cabin in the mountain town Devil's Gorge. This is where he worked as head coach with the thoroughbreds on an esteem stud farm. Alan was known as the best in his field and that is why Jason Hollister (Bruce Greenwood) hired him. Jason always wanted the best.
Jason Washing a Horse
Jason and Tiffany were engaged before she and Alan became engaged. Tiffany inferred that Jason had something to do with Alan's death because the two had a big fight before Alan was killed.
Ann Marie packed up and decides to find out what really happened to her brother.
This is a great movie--so pop your corn and drizzle it white chocolate and enjoy watch handsome men and talented women.

Sam Gillen (Jean-Claude Van Damme) a citizen of
Canada was capture by Federal Officers of the United States for a bank heist.
Sam’s partner Billy (Anthony Starke) in the robbery killed
a security guard, but Sam was caught for the crime and he's now on his way to a
Federal Prison with a bus load of criminals.
Sam did not turned Billy in
because he was accepting the responsible for his part in the crime.
However, Billy would not let Sam down---determined to help his friend who took the rap for him---he stopped the
prison bus by making it over-turn and helped Sam to escape.
Sam drove away
fast---but not fast enough to save Billy; who was shot in the neck by a prison
guard as they sped down the highway from them.
Sam kept going and listened to Billy tell him about the suitcase
he had for him. Sam’s friend Billy died as he made his run for life in Billy’s
fast car. When Sam felt he was far enough away he stopped and buried his friend
Billy as the sunset in the evening darkness.
He found the suitcase Billy had left him in the trunk and
changed into a suit, and took some of the money left for him; then went
shopping for food.
Sam did not know where he was going at the moment he just
knew he needed to find a place to hide for a while.
So he put up a tent in a wooded area by a large pond
thinking no one would find him and then he fell asleep from exhaustion; as his journey furnished plenty of excitement the last two days.
He woke up later to darkness, and thinking about his supply
of groceries-- he forgot to buy salt---so he started to look around to see maybe
a little store might be near. He took his flashlight to explore his surroundings and he carefully made his way through the woods.
What Sam found was a farm that belonged to Clydie Anderson (Rosanna
Arquette) who was a widow with two children Mike ‘Mookie’ Anderson (Kieran
Culkin) and Bree Anderson (Tiffany Taubman).
He watched Clydie take the
children upstairs to bed. Then she came back down to take a shower.
Sam knew he should not watch her undress and get in the shower---but
he could not help himself. Then while she took her shower Sam broke in the
house to borrow salt.
The old farm house had squeaky floor boards that alerted
Mookie and he get up. Sam grabs the salt shaker before he quickly left the
farm house and returned to his tent.
Sam in the end becane a hero to the family as he tried to help save
their farm from an unscrupulous property developer Franklin Hale ( Joss
Ackland) who had the local dishonest Sheriff Lonnie Cole (Edward
Blatchford) secretly working for himand his henchman
Mr. Dunston (Ted Levine) all trying to persuade Clydie to sell her farm.
If she does not sell to him--- then Franklin Hale’s business will fold because her property is the last one. He manipulated other property owners by any means he could use to
get their property.
Now, he will use his strong tactics with the help of Lonnie
and his other men to convenience her to sell. Which makes Lonnie the worse one of all because he is suppose to care for Clydie.
And this is when Sam steps in and levels the playing field.
And the action begins as he tries to right the wrongs done to Clydie and her
family.
Jean-Claude Van Damme is one of my favorite action actors---he
soars high with his millions of fans and I am one. And, he will be in
Expendables 3 and that makes me very happy.
Joan Wilder
(Kathleen
Turner) is an extremely successful venturesome romance novelist---who
lives in New York City---with her cat Romeo. Joan writes about action, adventure
and romance just as she desired to experience it. Full of thrills, titillating romantic
adventures which changes within a heartbeat, into the abyss of excitement;
which Joan lacked in her life. However, she could write about it and bring it to life in the pages of her books.
She is totally different from her character Angelina, who is beautiful, sexy; self-reliant and
loves her hero Jessie. It was her imagination and with her typewriter she brought her hero
Jessie to bigger than life in every novel. Joan---an excellent writer who lived
through her novels---to give it more ambiance; enjoying every second until she
typed her last word.
Excitement did not reign in her life as a writer's she had little time to socialize; because of her dedication to writing. Her small circle of friends included her agent Gloria (Holland Taylor); whom she had a meeting with in a local bar to deliver her just completed novel to her.
Gloria tried
to get Joan interested in some of the men in the bar; but to no avail. Joan let
her know they did not interest her. Gloria said: Why not because they are not
Jessie? Joan replied: I know there is someone out there for me. It seemed to Joan they has this same conversation each time they met.
Joan worried
about her sister Elaine (Mary Ellen Trainor) who is in
Columbia where her husband was recently murdered. She probably thought about
this as she opened the door to her apartment and found it burglarized, and
before she could call the police to report it her sister Elaine called. She
asked Joan if she received an envelope from her husband and did it contain a
treasure map?
Ralph (Danny
DeVito) and his brother Ira (Zack Norman) kidnapped Elaine and stood by her side as she telephoned her sister Joan. Joan verified she received the package and her sister
asked her to bring it to Columbia.
So Joan is now on her way leaving her cat
with her agent until she returned. Joan arrived in Columbia and luckily missed connecting with Ralph who was there to drive her to her
sister Elaine. But Joan boards a bus to Cartagena or so she thinks. She got
on the wrong bus because she accepted assurance from the same man who
burglarized her apartment, and killed her super in New York City and is stalking
her for the map.
The bus accidentally
runs into a parked truck filled with birds. The other passengers leave to walk the
bus route; while the wicked stalker talked Joan into waiting for the next
bus. And, while she waited patiently sitting on her suitcase, the man who wanted the map pointed his gun at her.
This is the
moment Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) a Soldier of Fortune showed up on the hilltop, and the stalker with a gun shot a hole in his water pouch.
Then a gunfight breaks out as Jack chases the bad guy away sending his bullets flying over his head as he runs away.
Then Joan
asked for Jack’s help to get to Cartagena and offered to pay him. Jack asked
for $500.00; but settled for $350.00 in travelers check. And, then the adventure
of Joan’s life is born; and so is our movie entertainment. We can travel along with them through the
jungles, mudslides and Crocodiles. We watched as their relationship developed on a closer level; and Joan starts to enjoy her adventure. So, the once mousy Joan becomes a
real beauty as her journey continued and she blossomed into a woman who likes having fun.
Joan’s true life adventure out shined
her character Angelina’s in her novels, and Jack emulated
Jessie’s character so closely it is chilling.
I became a
fan of Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner from this movie, and I am still one
of their greatest fans, today. I hope you enjoyed my review and please return for
more. Thanks.
A love that consumed the heart and mind of an Irish thief
named Peter Lake (Colin Farrell) and haunted his very soul. Because his one love,
soul mate Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay) was his only true love. Whom he met
while robbing an empty house---or so he thought was empty---until he met
Beverly---the beautiful lady still at home. He never experienced the feeling of love between a man and a woman before her.
It becomes known to him later that she is very ill; she was dying of consumption (mainly a disease of the lungs) and had only a short time
to live her young life to its fullest. His love for her makes him preoccupied
with justice---a renewed Peter. Beverly loved and protected Peter to the end of
her earthly life.
Colin and Beverly
Love does not know a time and place when it should transpires
as love needs no clock to tick the time of it appearance. But when it does
arrive--- all other issues are off the table. Because real and true love waits
for no one; and it takes no votes to confirm who approved or disapproved---it
simply does not give a darn.
Peter Lake’s story begins at the turn of the century when
his immigrant parents are not admitted to Ellis Island for reasons unknown to
me at this time. He was found and adopted. And his adopted father (MattBomer) sent him to school in Manhattan to become a mechanic when he
was old enough.
Soon without
his consent he becomes a gang member of the ‘Short Tails’ and in time
becomes an enemy of the leader Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe). Pearly
wanted Peter killed and demanded that his gang of thugs do it. Peter always
managed to stay one step ahead of the gang until one day his luck ran out---but
he’s saved by a beautiful white horse named Athansor. He becomes Peter’s
Guardian Angel.
This mystical love story began in 1916 and evolved to the
present day which finds Peter not knowing who he is now. Because he and his
Guardian Angel horse Athansor goes through clouds into another time; and
time is lost for him. A human mind cannot always take all that the supernatural
has to offer.
Then he returns to the modern day where he meets Virginia
Gamely (Jennifer Connelly) and Abby (Rigley Sobo) a darling little girl. Virginia
befriends Peter and begins to understand his time and presence here is not
normal, but she is not sure what is happening. However she knows he is here for
a reason---that much she is sure.
Love and destiny rose above the coldest of winters in New
York to keep lover’s hearts warm even though their life journey might be as
short as it seems in this supernatural world of theirs.
This great love story will open on Valentine’s
Day---February 14, 2014 for all the fans to enjoy. So mark your calendars for
what I believe to be a love story your heart will long remember.
I want to know if Beverly and Peter are together for always
and do they get another chance on earth to be happy and maybe have a family
together. One can dream about it until the movie comes out and then we will
know. Happy waiting to you all---until a “Winter’s Tale” Premieres on Valentine’s Day.
When Lorna Davis (Dolly Parton) a Country Western Singer
becomes disenchanted with her life as a recording artist/songwriter she told her agent she needs to get away from it all.
And, her agent Ned (Rene Aberjonois) told Lorna he understood and
she can leave for her vacation after 90 days.
Lorna walked away murmuring to herself no one understands.
She is completely burnt-out from always recording, performing, writing songs
and never resting. And, something is missing in her life and she needs to find
out what.
Later that evening, an irritating paparazzi reporter named
Harry (Dan Hedaya) climbed up to Lorna’s bedroom window and begged to be let in
because of three guard dogs below him that would surely eat him alive. She let him in and call4d for her butler to throw him out.
Harry left alone a few minutes in her bedroom took pictures while Lorna summons her butler. And, one picture was directions to her friend Mary Lou’s
grandparent’s mountain cabin. The cabin was not far from where Lorna grew up as
a child and always visited her parents; until their death and now
she has no one to come home to see.
So with her plans made---she packed and left for her Smoky
Mountain vacation---and did not tell anyone where she was going. No one knew
but her friend Mary Lou and Harry the grossly annoying paparazzi who followed
her.
The next day Lorna is driving down the snowy mountain
highway to her long awaited vacation cabin, when she is stopped by the Sheriff
John Jensen (Bo Hopkins). Sheriff Jensen mainly stopped her to flirt with a new
woman coming to town.
Finally, after admitting Lorna had not violated any laws
with her driving the Sheriff regrettably let her go. However, the Sheriff’s
flirting did not go unnoticed; because Jezebel (Anita Morris) the mountain
witch who proclaimed him as her property---and no one else could have him. Jezebel
told him she would put a spell on the blonde if she stayed too long in her
area.
Lorna found out after the first night in the cabin that she shared
it with seven children.The children found Lorna asleep in her bed and because she was so
tired she did not awake until morning. They thought she was an Angel at first.
She was surprised the next morning by the children and suspected they were
run-a-ways. But that did not stop her and the children from becoming a family
unit before they realized it. Slowly, the empty void began to vanish as Lorna’s
life started to mean something again.
Jezebel visited the cabin one night and put Lorna under a spell. And, lead her to the edge of a cliff. Mountain Dan (Lee Majors) saved Lorna from falling off into a mountain river many feet below.
Dan told Lorna about the Mountain Witch Jezebel and she
admitted that her Granny wore charms to keep the evil spirits away. Dan showed
Lorna his charms and said Jezebel was for real.
This is a great family movie and it has a wonderful ending
that I will save for you to find out. Enjoy with your favorite popcorn and
soda. May your Holidays be bright and merry.

Nora Roberts wrote the book ‘Montana Sky’ and now we are fortunate
to see a movie based on her book.
Enjoy and I hope you get your own copy of this very good
movie. I still have mine that I watch; the story is great and the scenery is
beautiful, in this western, romance, thriller and happy ending movie.
Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) produced a T.V.
morning news show in beautiful Sacramento, the capital city of California which is
located at the union of the Sacramento River and American River.
Her show is about to be cancelled because of poor ratings.
And the manager of the show Stuart (Nick Searey) has talked to Abby
about it because he is very concerned if something does not improve fast---they
might be pulled. He told Abby he had two daughters in college and he needed his
job and now she needs to find a solution to their problem.
With this on
her mind Abby ---she still agreed to keep a blind date with a guy who is 5’8’ much
shorter than Abby.
She is a
person who likes to control all the events in her life---including guys. She
actually has a list of what she is looking for in a perfect man. Abby walks home
after the blind date and he probably thought it was the worse blind date in
history.
As she started to bed---her cat
D’Artagnan stepped on the remote control and changed the channel to “The Ugly
Truth Show” and Abby got the shock of her life.
Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler) a Sacramento cable talk show “Host”
a channel where listeners call in to talk with him about the ugly truths of
life.
Mike believed and
stated on live T.V. is--- men are simple creatures and all they want is sex---so
throw away all the books that talk about what men want. Because all they care
about is how a woman looks---they just want sex.
Abby was so upset by what she heard that she called in to
speak to Mike Chadway. She asked him if he believed in love and he replied that
he believed in passion. Well it went downhill from there and he ended up saying
she was probably a dog (which crudely put—she was ugly.)
Abby awaken to another day and found that her boss Stuart
was smiling so big he could not contain himself---he told everyone he had hired
Mike Chadway to do The Ugly Truth on their show.
What a great surprise for most and other knew how Abby felt
about so they agreed with her. But after the first day on the show the rating
sky-rocket and not only was Stuart happy but the owners wanted to
Fly in and have dinner with Mike who saved their show.
Now Abby had to work with Mike because of the rating;
however, she still had a poor attitude
towards him. But it was slowly changes as he gave her advice about how to reel
in the doctor who lived in her apartment unit. She finally listened to Mike and
his instructions to her are working in her favor.
Abby told Mike that Colin was the perfect man and she and
Colin started dating. He took her to nice places and she pretended to be
someone she was not---that Mike implanted into her head---so she could get the
man of her dreams.
But was he what Abby really wanted? Was Colin falling for
the person Abby was not? Would Mike realize that he was falling for Abby and
become jealous of Colin? What would Mike do about it?
Two handsome men and one beautiful woman equal a triangle
where one person will lose. And that is
