Historian Lucy Worsley travels to the places that Jane Austen knew and lived to better understand her and the world of her novels. Starring Lucy Worsley, Debbie Charlton, and Jeanice Brooks.
Lucy Worsley does what she does best; she takes you into the world of Austen and the life she led. She also weaves the parallel life that Austen had with her characters. Worsley brings her own knowledge, enthusiasm, and her style to showcase Austen’s life. I love that Worsley loves history and her enthusiasm is contagious. There is a good mix of the land, Worlsey’s contributions, and the monologues by actress Gwendolen Chatfield. By the way, Chatfield should really play Elizabeth Bennet; she was brilliant with Austen’s sense of humor. This is a documentary worth watching.

The stories and healing in the eyes of the children who were impacted on 9/11. Starring Ada Rosario Dolch and Heather Ordover.
This film interviews children that have been affected by 9/11. They interviewed children who lost a parent and also some of the children affected when they had to evacuate the high school they were attending. They told their story as they struggled with the loss or the stress they were under on that day. The filmmakers also interviewed some of the students at the school President Bush was visiting. It’s interesting knowing that these terrorists continue to affect these children, as the damage they caused has a ripple effect. While they each have interesting stories, I don’t want to think that their stories are the be-all and end-all of the legacy of 9/11 – but they are the next generation to remind us all what we lost that day. This film is worth a watch.

A celebrity chef and a romance writer meet at a French villa while nursing problems. Starring Hilarie Burton, Victor Webster, and Emorphia Margaritis.
This film is one of the worst written Hallmark films. We have the two leads both struggling with their jobs when they meet at a French villa. The two each have other people circling them as romantic interest, but nothing happens. The lack of intertest means the love triangle doesn’t get a green light. Instead, we have lackluster chemistry between the two leads. I’ve always been fond of Webster in his other films; here, he’s cute, but I just don’t see him with Burton, nor do I think the writers do. When it comes to Burton, I’ve always struggled seeing her as a Hallmark leading lady. She just doesn’t come off as a girl next door. She’s more annoying in this film than she should be. This film is not worth a watch.
A chronological telling of William Randolph Hearst’s life and media empire. Starring Peter Krause, Robert Chiles, and Stephen Hearst.
This is a brilliant documentary that exposes how our modern media began, and it’s salacious. It also highlights the politicalness of the times Hearst lived in and what he believed. We watch as his life has its ups and downs, and we see his poor usage of money. The film may have harped too much on his affair with Marion Davies and her personal issues, but it still affected Hearst. The film covers most of his life, both personal and professional. While highlighting the complexities of this fascinating man, the film makes you both love and hate him as a man that changed how we look at the world through his media. It’s worth the watch.
A washed up country singer makes a come back as an Elvis impersonator. Starring Billy Ray Cyrus, Joey Lauren Adams, and Travis Nicholson.
The concept of this show is interesting. We have a down and out, one hit wonder singer who has a change of heart as he discovers he has a child from a one night stand. It’s written well, and the acting isn’t bad. The storylines of each character have room to grow. Although this show is funny and interesting, it lacks heart. I’m not one to anticipate the next episode and where these characters will go. The show has a lot of ideas that have been used before, which makes it unoriginal. This show is not worth a watch.
Singers from all walks of life try to become stars by singing as avatars. Starring Rocsi Diaz, Grimes, and Nick Lachey.
I thought this show would be interesting, and it is to a point. However, there’s a lot that is bad about the show. One, the contestants all seem to have problems with their looks. I understand – as most people have problems with their look, but I felt the judges were judging more on the personality of the contestants and not on the singing. The singing, on the other hand, is not the best we have heard on competition shows. Some are bad. Then you have the contestants all wanting to be famous, and they seem to be more interested in thirty seconds of fame than working hard at becoming good singers. I worry that whoever wins will still struggle with their singing due to not having any training in the arts. What does make the show interesting is that these contestants look different from what you’d expect based on their voices, and that is fun to watch. Ultimately, the show is still not worth a watch.

A woman requests to retrieve a letter to her ex due to it containing a lottery ticket. Starring Eric Mabius, Kristin Booth, and Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe.
This film in the series of Signed Sealed Delivered features the beginning of the romance between Shane and Oliver, while the romance between Norman and Rita is hitting a rough patch. The romance side is sweet, but of course, we need a mystery in the Dead Letter Office. So, along comes a woman who would like to retrieve a letter she sent to her ex. To me, the mystery really needs to be on the backburner as we have to do more storytelling with the romance. This film seems to go off-topic when the Postables have to solve a crime rather than work a dead letter. Overall, it just doesn’t jive well when the humor, mystery, and crime mix with the romances. However, it’s not bad as we move the story along and the couples try to work things out. This film is worth the watch.
