Review: As I've mentioned before, my wife and I are big fans of Lacey Chabert Hallmark movies and when I saw this new one was coming out, I was sure to record it. We watched it this evening and it unfortunately missed the mark for us. The premise isn't a bad one, especially since there is a bit of a mystery surrounding Gwen (Crouse) the woman Brett (James) is supposedly cheating with and Tabby's (Bennett) former best friend and assistant and what secret she was ...

Review: Due to some parenting responsibilities, my wife and I weren't able to watch a holiday movie on Wednesday and, because of that, were quick to find one to watch yesterday evening in an effort to make up for that. I've had this one in the library for a while and, thinking it sounded somewhat interesting, picked it out. It ended up being a good choice. The thing that surprised me most about this film is it wasn't as predictable as I was expecting it to be. A ...

Review: When I picked out this movie on VUDU last night, I mostly did it because the description made me believe it would help my wife overcome the absence of new Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episodes. It wound up being pretty much what I expected it to be, a film with an OK premise but not-so-great execution. There were a couple things about this movie that I really didn't enjoy. The main one is, even though the movie is supposedly based on a true story,...

The movie stars Fiona Dourif , Danielle Bisutti , Brennan Elliott , Maitland McConnell , Summer H. Howell and Brad Dourif . Review: Even though I liked the first two Child's Play movies, I'm not a huge fan of the later sequels and, as a result of that, wasn't overly interested in seeing this film. However, my wife and I wanted to watch a movie together last night and, since this happened to be on Netflix, I decided to give it a try. As it turns out, it was actually a surprisingly good movie. While not quite as ...
