Okay but what was wrong with Riverworld, what did it do

(context in case this gets backed up for a month+ like you've alluded some asks do)

The script I wrote was chopped to shreds for budget (by another writer) and then the director had the actors improvise all their dialogue so it made no damn sense. They cast a lovely actress to play Tomoe Gozen, but she’s only like 1/4 Japanese, which is embarrassing. Mark Deklin and Peter Shinkoda did their best though, so bless them.

Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday (2021)

[theheartoftv]

Jennifer (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) and Meg Swift (Ashley Williams) are sisters who couldn’t be closer despite living in different cities. Jennifer runs a successful restaurant in Salt Lake City, which she started with her late husband and is raising her teenage son Simon (Jacob Buster) on her own. Jennifer is thrilled when Meg comes to Salt Lake City for a fun Christmas weekend. Meg agrees to stay in the city and help out at the restaurant while Jennifer and Simon return home to Hazelwood for the holiday, where they become wistful for one more Christmas at The Madison – the local movie theater owned by their Uncle Dave (Kevin Nealon). The trouble is the theater is for sale and in need of repairs. With help from Eric (Mark Deklin), Jennifer’s former high school debate team rival, and the community, they just might pull off one last encore. As she and Eric work together, Jennifer is reminded that new possibilities are both where you least expect them and exactly where you left them.

Meet Me at Christmas

Each movie will be given a rating between 1 to 5 after initial viewing. 1 being a movie I will probably not watch past the first time. 5 being a new holiday favorite that I will be watching multiple times through out the season.

Here we go! Starting with the plot. I enjoyed it. I really loved the idea of Christmas Eve wedding. Which I have to say the wedding scene between Liam and Katie was stunning. Like the atmosphere looked amazing. Talks about a true winter wonderland. But anyway, Liam and Katie were pretty cute. Now while it was clear from very early on in the movie, I liked the flashbacks for the short time that Joan and Beau had together when they were younger. This film had a bit more angst moments which was a nice little change. Between Joan being closed off a bit to Beau at times, wanting to keep their ‘day’ secret from Liam and Katie, to the bit of Liam finding out about the two in terms of the photo and his father. Honestly I could of done with the conflict of typical misleading information of one leaving. I think they personally could of made the film work just as fine without that bit. Next up are the actors. So I’m going to admit that I’m not a big Catherine Bell fan. I don’t know what it is about her. While I don’t dislike her or anything, she’s just not a Hallmark female lead that I gravitate towards so I don’t really watch much of her on the network. However, I actually did not mind her in this movie. Starting the film, I wasn’t really super excited it partly due to her and plus the promo did not really interest me. But I ended up invested and enjoyed the movie. I liked Mark Deklin in Switched for Christmas and has seen bits of pieces of him in the Evergreen film but I enjoyed him in his movie. In terms of the pairing, they have good chemistry and I actually liked them together. While I didn’t really care for the kiss, I wouldn’t mind seeming them together in another film in the future. Like always the supporting cast was great but then again I never really have any issues with them. Overall I liked it. 

Rating: 4/5 - While I appreciated the extra bit of angst they gave us throughout the film as it helped me stay more invested, it wasn’t my favorite movie that has premiered on the channel. However it was one that I look forward to watching more over the holiday.

I’ve seen Mark Deklin in many shows over the years, from ‘Rissoli and Isles’ to ‘Hawaii Five-O’ to ‘Major Crimes’, but it wasn’t until I saw him as J.B. Kelley in ‘Blindspot’, with the grey in the beard and the cocky grin (which I couldn’t get a decent picture or screen grab of, more’s the pity) and the leather jacket, that I suddenly thought ‘Hmmm, I think I know who I’m gonna headcanon as Papa Hale from now on’.
