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.

This is one of my favorite movies because of Michael
Douglas---no one can outshine him especially in this movie. He is that man that every woman wants. The kind of man who will stop at nothing to save the woman he loves.
And, besides “Buffalo Girls” this is my favorite Melanie Griffith movies. She is
young and beautiful as makes one hold their breath as she ventures into harm’s
way.
The movie begins in 1940 when Adolf Hitler--- was the leader of
the Nazi Party---he was born in Austria in 1889 and was a German politician.
His gold was to start a New Order of total Nazi German supremacy in Europe. When
Hitler’s forces invaded Poland it began World War II. This is the background of
this movie.
A young woman named Linda Voss (Melanie Griffith) begins a
new job at a New York Law Firm in 1940. She speaks fluent German as she is of Irish/German-Jewish descent.
Linda is first put in a pool with a lot of other girls, but
being intelligent she makes sure Ed Leland (Michael Douglas) knows she
can speak German. Consequently, she becomes an assistant/translator to Ed Leland.
He is a man who is serious and never smiles, but that does not put off Linda as
she is determined to make a difference in the world. She loves movies and
attends as often as possible. And, with her movie knowledge she has figured out
that Ed Leland is more than he appears. That he is a spy working for the United States
securing information which will help in the war efforts.
Soon they become more than employer and employee---they
become lovers. She is totally in love with him, but he makes one wonder if he
really loves her or if he is afraid to love anyone because of the war.
What happened next is Ed Leland is called to duty and has to
leave the war department. Linda is alone and distressed and is now just another
employee in the war department. She cannot find out anything about him or where
he is or if he is alive or not. Then, as suddenly as he appeared he returns.
I do not want to spoil the movie for you---so I will stop
here and tell you the excitement is just beginning for Leland, Linda and the
ones she will meet while on her assignment as a spy to uncover information from Nazi German Officers.
In order to do the assignment she becomes a nanny for a German officer Franze-Otto Dietrich (LiamNeeson) This is a movie of
love, intrigue, romance, mystery, sorrow, trust and unworthy of trust, and,
this is why I say it is a great movie.
Doris Miller (Sally Field) accepted the humdrum life of a
woman in her sixties until she met the new art director John Fremont (Max
Greenfield) a young muscular hunk who, was now working in her office. To say daydreams
are for the young would be a foolish statement because older women enjoy
them as well.
Since John and Doris worked in the same office they seemed
to find themselves together at lot. And, Doris decided after she attended a
self-help seminar to give in to a new friendship with a much younger guy and
see where it goes. Even if they become just great friends Doris was beginning
to enjoy much younger people and they loved her.
She inspired the younger crowd as well as getting their attention
and being including in their lives. Doris began to shine and to enjoy life
probably for the first time. Doris’ spent most of her life caring for her
mother. She even gave up marriage because she was a loyal daughter. Now she
dressed younger and was being included by John’s crowd who truly liked her.
Doris was having the time of her life because she and John
were becoming close. This did not sit well with her close friend played by (Tyne
Daly) because she either thought Doris had lost her mind, or she was jealous
and felt she was losing a friend.
What will happen between this December and May relationship?
Every woman should experience a relationship with a younger man---if only once.
She will have great memories to last forever.
This is on my list to see as I have always loved Sally Field
in anything she played in. My calendar is marked for March 11th
2016. See you at the movies.

The Lone Wolf—J.J. McQuade (Chuck Norris) is one of
my favorite Chuck Norris movies. It is filled with drama, action, adventure and
love.
McQuade is a Texas Ranger who works alone and uses his own
uniquely practiced skills to bring criminals to justice. He can shoot straighter than most and he uses
his martial arts as second nature---he does not need to think---he just reacts.
He believes in justice and sometimes not by the rules of his badge---but he
gets the jobs done his way.
Don’t get in his way or harm his family because he will come
after anyone who does---and it will not be pleasant. He will not be forced into
a fight---nor, will be back down from one.
After handling a gang of horse thieves and bringing the
leader in---while saving a group of young Texas Rangers who were following the
orders of their leader who lead them into the hands of the gang.
McQuade almost missed his best friend Dakota’s (L.Q.
Jones) retirement speech but he makes it in time---dusty and nasty in all
his glory. He was talking to Dakota when the Captain walked up and asked him to
come to his office.
The reason the Captain wanted him there is to show him what
was written in the newspaper about McQuade being a lone wolf---always working
alone. The Captain introduce McQuade's new partner to him---Kayo (Robert
Beltran) one of the young rangers he saved this morning.
McQuade said no way kid and then he leaves without another
word. The Captain told Kayo to stay with him. So the fun begins of having a
partner while not acknowledging him.
Kayo goes to McQuade’s home which is an isolated dump---but
he likes it. His only pet is a lone wolf he befriended---probably because they
were so much alike. This is when Kayo meets the wolf that is guarding McQuade’s
house. Kayo runs inside the house as the screen door is unlocked and sees the
mess inside the house.
McQuade
meets Lola Richardson (Barbara Carrera) and they become
involved. The only issue there is a local criminal
Rawley Wilkes (David Carradine) is in love with her too. Lola's late husband was
Rawley’s partner who he killed for money and her love---and of course she does not know this---yet.
This is a very good movie and I hope you will enjoy the
videos and the review.
Unless you have lived in a cave---you know who Nora Roberts
is---she is one of my very favorite writers and I love her movies from her
books.
Today I will talk about one of her movies titled:Midnight Bayou (2009)
This one is a bit scary but it keeps your attention to the
very end---are you ready?
Declan Fitzpatrick (Jerry O’Connell) a Boston law student was
invited by his roommate in college and best friend Remy (ChrisLindsay)
to his hometown of New Orleans; during Mardis Gras of 2001.
This is exhilarating for Declan and a group of other young
college kids as they drove through the outskirts of New Orleans. Declan was
standing up in the convertible shouting and taking picture when suddenly a
woman dressed in an antiquated maid uniform of over 100 years ago---was
standing in the road of front of the fast oncoming car.
Declan shouted stop and the driver stopped---he jumped out
of the car looking around for the woman but she had vanished---nowhere to be
seen. Then through the dead vines and trees Declan saw the house a beautiful old
dilapidated Southern Mansion.
Remy told him it was called Manet Hall---and had bad
juju. But amazingly it was love at first sight for Declan---then and there he
wanted to buy it. The house moaned and groaned and his friend Remy and his
girlfriend Effie(CieraPayton) said
come on lets go or you will be walking to Boston.
Eight years later after he has been a practicing attorney
for years---Declan leaves Boston and buys Manet Hall from Odetta Simone (Faye
Dunaway). The improvements are magnificent bringing the place back from
dilapidation to becoming just what he wanted it to be. It was absolutely
beautiful when the interior of the mansion was refurbished.
While he and workers were moving his boxes into his new home
he has a beautiful visitor Lena Simone (Lauren Stamile) the granddaughter to
Odetta Simone. Lena’s grandmother told her about the new owner Delcan
Fitzpatrick. He was engaged to be married and broke it off two days before the
wedding and came to New Orleans to buy Manet Hall.
Odetta had bake cornbread and wanted her granddaughter to
take it to the new owner. Lena finally gave in and went to Manet Hall. Odetta
told Lena if my knees were not giving me trouble and I was 20 years younger---I
would go myself and you would not have a chance.
She and Delcan were instantly attracted to each other---but
why they did not know. The movie takes the main characters back 100 years to
the spirits which initially lived in Manet Hall. It shows how everyone is
connected to the past and if the mystery of Abigail Manet (Bianca Malinowski)
is not solved then the spirits who haunts Manet Hall will haunt it forever.
The Manet family is the mother Josephine Manet (Ashley
LeConte Campbell), the oldest son who married Abigail is Lucian Manet (Alan Ritchson)
and his evil no good brother is Julian Manet (Alejandro Rose-Garcia).
Lucian truly loved his wife and his brother loved her in his
own wicked way. The mother was always trying to get rid of Abigail because she
was once one of their maids and she did not think she was good enough for her
son.
I enjoyed this movie and I read the book also. The movie
made the book come to life for me and I am sure anyone who owns the DVD or buys
the movie will enjoy it for years.
I love all of Nora Roberts' movies and I have also reviewed
on this movie blog titled “Northern Light” and I have more to share with my
readers if you like this movie.
The movie begins with five expert bank robbers that creates a
skillful team which includes GordonJennings (Idris Elba), John Rahway
(Paul
Walker), A.J. (Hayden Christensen), and Jake (Michael
Ealy), and Jess (Chris Brown) these men are very
professional in their attire and manner
They all lead the good life, any luxury that want is theirs,
women and more women. The team has just finished a bank job and has money to
invest in whatever venture their little robbing heart’s desire.
After each job they always started to plan another one---however one of their
former team members is released from prison--- known by the name of Ghost (Tip T.I. Harris). Ghost has his own agenda;
one is getting even with Jake because he feels he stole his girlfriend away
from him.
Ghost comes to them with a plan to rob two armored cars that
will be carrying 20 million. But Jake does not feel comfortable about this plan
because he feels he is being rushed. The team does not trust Ghost because
being careful is their second nature after all these years.
Even though this team of men proved very professional in
their area of expertise and never left any clues behind that would lead the law to
them---which is all well and good. But they did not count on a stubborn Los
Angeles Detective Jack Welles (Matt Dillon). His
job is very important to him and he is like a Bulldog with a bone---he never
gives up.
This is an action packed movie with great actors and
storylines.
