However, the play’s director is a successful TV actor, and the one she blames for her biggest professional disappointment. First of […]

Back in October, I had the honor of interviewing a Hallmark author, Leigh Duncan, who recently had a book published based on a popular Hallmark movie, Journey Back to Christmas. I finally had a chance to finish this book, and I’m so glad I did! Below is my review of this fun and entertaining read. Journey Back to Christmas by Leigh […]

Sometimes when I watch a new movie, an actor’s name and face provoke a memory, but I cannot place the person until I do some research, and that is exactly what happened with Greyston Holt. I knew I had seen him in at least one or two movies prior to A Very Country Christmas which premiered on Up earlier this holiday […]

Being the journalist that I am, I consistently watch for fresh talent, especially in Hallmark movies and shows, and my heart is perpetually attracted to the children. When I was watching The Sweetest Christmas with Lacey Chabert, I noticed that Ava Grace Cooper was tweeting about a new friend she met on set, Sophia Reid-Gantzert. Almost immediately, I contacted Sophia’s dad, […]

In this year’s array of Hallmark Christmas movies, I kept my eyes peeled for known and unknown faces, and it just so happens, Darlene Cooke was one of those “unfamiliar” faces.

And Brennan Elliott is one of those exceptional people. Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with him for the fourth time, and he will always […]

NEW RELEASE…. My name is Madison Westin. Unless it’s Christmas, in which case my official title is “Holiday Cheermistress.” Nothing stops me from getting my ho-ho-ho on, not even my friends’ Grinch-worthy attitude toward sparkling tinsel, twinkling lights, and tinkling bells. Hey, if Creole, Fab, and Didier wind up with coal in their stockings, it won’t be my fault.When some […]

Some time last year, I had the opportunity to interview Alison Wandzura, and from the moment we started chatting, it was as if we had known each other all our lives. While her career has been quite diverse and she rarely (if ever) plays a leading character, her roles are imbued with a magnetism and a fervency that will ensure […]

Gabriel “Gabby” Messinger, a Guardian Angel who has trouble following the rules and is known for meddling in the love live’s of others, is tasked by the Angel Michael to help the town of Angel Falls find its Christmas spirit again. First of all, I want to say that this film surpassed all my expectations. Sometimes, I am hesitant when […]
