I don’t know if I’ve ever made this completely manifest in any previous reviews or interviews. I love Hallmark, and I adore Beth Grossbard. We connected back during Love on the Sidelines when I ran out of time to review that film before the premiere. But since that time, she has labored intensively to set up interviews, reviews, etc. with the main […]

After fast-paced New York City high-end real estate broker Fiona Rangely (Lacey Chabert) gets dumped by her boyfriend, she escapes to her family’s quaint Vermont Inn for a few days to slow down and evaluate her life. When her ex-boyfriend Nate arrives at the Inn with a brand new girlfriend, Fiona quickly devises a plan to win him back: pretend […]

As a mystery aficionado, whenever a new film premieres on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, you can almost predict that I will be in attendance along with my partner in crime-solving, my mother. Mysteries could be considered a sort of “guilty pleasure” of mine, and I was ecstatic when Kellie Martin returned to the network in her new Hailey Dean Mystery series. […]

Thanks to the Artemis Film Festival (to which my daughter and I will be heading soon enough), I recently had an amazing opportunity. In the world of stunts, Andy Armstrong is practically a legend due to the longevity and success of his career. His wife, Jennifer Caputo, is also a phenomenal stuntwoman in her own right, and both are being honored […]

Those who have followed my work for a while know that I am one who believes strongly in highlighting young people in the entertainment industry. During season three of When Calls the Heart, I had the opportunity to briefly interview both Ava Grace Cooper and her brother, Christian Michael Cooper. While both were featured on the show, my chat with Christian […]

For a more recent interview with Kevin, please check out this post.  One of the smartest things the Hallmark Channel ever did (in my opinion) was to make the decision to schedule a series of films that correspond with each of the holidays and seasons. Due to the astronomical growth within this network (and no, I am NOT exaggerating), Hallmark has […]

As many of my long-time followers know, I was one of the most avid champions of Cedar Cove when it aired on the Hallmark Channel, and it has the auspicious honor of being that network’s first original series. I made it a point to connect with as many of the actors from that show as I possibly could, and I have […]

People who execute stunts for a living never cease to amaze me, and thanks to the Artemis Film Festival, I have been able to connect with yet another phenomenal “kickass” stuntwoman, Luci Romberg. In spite of her incredibly busy schedule, Luci and I recently chatted about a wide variety of topics, including her work in the industry as well as […]

Thanks to the Artemis Film Festival, I have great respect and curiosity concerning stuntwomen. In truth, I often am in awe of their work, and whenever I happen upon one in the profession with whom I am not familiar, I take great delight in highlighting them. Recently, Angela Meryl took some time to answer a few questions about her career, […]

I was never a “soaps” fan, so my apologies to those who are and can’t believe that I only discovered Ali Sweeney a couple years ago when she started making films for Hallmark. Honestly, every film she has made for the Hallmark Channel and the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network has been virtual gold for the brand, and the viewers […]
