Early Review: Hallmark’s EVERY SECOND COUNTS
July 11, 2008
It’s time for a new Hallmark movie.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS premieres Saturday, July 12, at 9pm on the Hallmark channel.
The movie tells the story of Brooke Preston (played by Magda Apanowicz from Kyle XY), a 17 year-old girl, who competes in the highly-skilled sport of team penning. Her father, Joe (played by Stephen Collins from 7th Heaven) loves to watch her compete and thinks that she could become a champion, just like he could have, if it wasn’t for an injury that forced him to retire.
But while he dreams of competition for Brooke, she dreams of going to college and becoming a veterinarian. Unfortunately, some events change both their plans when the family is in danger of losing their home. Brooke is left with the hard decision of taking things into her own hands to save the day.

Early Review: Hallmark’s A GUNFIGHTER’S PLEDGE
July 5, 2008
If you were trying to figure out what you were going to watch on TV tonight, how about Western? Tonight, July 5, at 9pm, the Hallmark Channel premieres a new original movie, A GUNFIGHTER’S PLEDGE, starring Luke Perry.
This might not be the best western ever made, but it is enjoyable enough. Plus I always get a kick out of seeing Luke Perry on Television again.
The story of A Gunfighter’s Pledge is simple enough that it is easy to follow and enjoy. There are a few slow moments and I wish the story had moved along a little faster, but overall, it is a classic tale of a hero, who lost everything, trying to get his revenge and make up for the wrong he has done.
The acting is pretty strong and works perfectly with the tone of the movie. I mean this is a Hallmark movie after all, and as so it does require a certain feel to it. But I am happy to say it doesn’t fall too much in the cheesiness that some Hallmark movies sometimes have. Oh and did I mention that Luke Perry was the lead? The quiet hero part just fits him perfectly. And so it’s worth watching if only for him.
Overall, I think this is a very enjoyable Saturday night movie and while you shouldn’t expect to see the movie of the year, I think you can spend a great two hours following the story of Matt Austin.
Don’t forget to watch A Gunfighter’s Pledge tonight, July 5, at 9pm on the Hallmark Channel.
Synopsis: Following a daring escape from a pair of marshals, Tate (Kim Coates), a vicious outlaw, murders the wife and child of Matt Austin (Luke Perry), the sheriff who originally caught him and killed his brother. When Austin tracks Tate to a lawless saloon and accidentally kills an innocent man in the shootout, Austin pledges to the dying man that he will return his body to his sister, Amaya (Jaclyn DeSantis), at their family farm. Once there, he is forced to put his quest for vengeance on hold when he becomes embroiled in a dispute between Amaya and Horn (C. Thomas Howell), a businessman and landowner who has bought the sheriff (Francesco Quinn), and is trying to force Amaya to sell him her land by any means necessary. Unbeknownst to Austin, Horn has hired Tate as part of a posse tasked with removing Amaya from her land, leading to an inevitable showdown with lives and livelihoods hanging in the balance.

THE GOOD WITCH Review - A new Hallmark Movie
January 18, 2008
Need something to watch on Saturday night? How about a Hallmark Movie? THE GOOD WITCH premieres Saturday 19th at 9 pm on the Hallmark Channel.
Yes, I do enjoy Hallmark movies, as you might remember, and since I was able to take a look at The Good Witch early, I wanted to share some of my thoughts.
The Good Witch stars Catherine Bell (Army Wives), who is absolutely gorgeous as Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Nightingale, a mysterious woman who moves into the town long-haunted Grey House. The story unfolds in a very “Hallmarky” type of way as Cassie tries to get accepted by the town people. I personally found the whole movie very sweet. Catherine Bell captures the essence of Cassie perfectly and she makes the movie a joy to watch.

AVENGING ANGEL on Hallmark tonight
July 7, 2007
If you like Kevin Sorbo, now is your chance to see him in a new made-for-TV movie on the Hallmark channel tonight at 9pm.
AVENGING ANGEL is about a preacher looking for revenge for the murder of his family.
I have to admit that Hallmark movies are sometimes really good and I think that as time passes their quality gets better and better. However, I don’t know about Avenging Angel because I personally am not a fan of Kevin Sorbo and the subject matter doesn’t interest me. But if it sounds like something that might appeal to you, tune in tonight.
Check out the preview below.
