If you’re anything like me, you watch movies and shows all too often without giving much more than a passing thought to the people involved behind the scenes. While I am becoming a more informed viewer as I have been endeavoring to immerse myself within this cosmos of entertainment, I sometimes still forget that there are stunt people, and that without […]

As I have stated on many occasions, I was never necessarily a “soap opera” fan. Having said that, my mom and grandma were hooked on a couple shows when I was growing up, but I barely remember a thing about Days of Our Lives or As the World Turns. However, what I will say is that my respect for those in the […]

Abby Knight (Shields) is a beautiful ex-attorney and proprietor of Bloomers, a quaint Illinois flower shop. Abby and Marco (Elliott), a handsome bar owner and former private investigator, discover the body of Jack Sutcliff, an unscrupulous grifter who attempted to crash Abby’s cousin’s wedding. Abby’s curiosity gets the better of her and she sets out to conduct her own murder […]

Are you a fan of the Garage Sale Mystery film series on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries? I have been almost from the beginning, and of course, I’m that person who endeavors to make note of every character in the series, especially when they are a recurring character. And that is how I happened upon the actor Jay Brazeau. Little did I know that […]

As a committed Hallmark fan and zealous devotee of the Flower Shop Mystery series of films, I pay very careful attention to what the stars of the series tweet and whom they choose to highlight. In this third installment, it just so happens that Kate Collins (author of the book series) mentioned the actor Dru Viergever in connection with Dearly Depotted, and immediately, I […]

UPDATE: Per Dylan Neal, executive producer of The Gourmet Detective: Death Al Dente, it appears that this film will premiere on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries September 25th, date subject to change. Those who are familiar with my cinematic preferences know of my affinity for mystery films, series, books, stories, etc. In fact, mysteries are almost my favorite genre of entertainment on earth. I remember when the first Gourmet […]

If you haven’t guessed, for me, there is nothing better than meeting “new” actors and actresses–by that, I mean new to me. Over my time of being a devoted Hallmark viewer, I have had the opportunity to be introduced to such lovely people, and Meghan Heffern is certainly no exception to that. I happened to notice her on the second season […]

For those who regularly read my interviews, you probably know that I take great delight in interviewing and featuring young people. After all, they are our future, and very often they create some of those special characters that truly bring us heartfelt emotion and plenty of unbounded joy. In the case of David Raynolds, I actually have Jaime Callica to […]

As many of my readers know, I fervently attempt to focus on every member of the cast when I do a movie review (and sometimes that means a lot of exploration on my part). More often than not, this diligence on my part connects me with great actors that may go undetected by the general public, and in the case of Flower Shop […]

Not too long ago, a most intriguing tweet came across my feed from someone whom I will admit to never having noticed previously. I genuinely try to notice all cast members, and when I think about it, I attempt to acknowledge the crew.  In my mind, I am well aware of the fact that without the phenomenal crews that Hallmark hires, no […]
