Monday #Moviemadness


Well I have so behind on my movie reviews. To be honest I feel behind on everything. My husband has been on a business trip, plus we are getting all the baseball games in that my kids missed due to rain outs.


So-- WHAT MOVIES HAVE YOU WATCHED?


Here is my list:
Flicka Country Pride
Alive and the Chipmunks Squeakequle
Anonymous
Loves Everlasting Courage


I think that I have watched a few more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Guess they were not worth talking about.

Prophet By R.J Larson-- Waiting For IT Wednesdays

 







Ready for a thrilling ride? Let R.J. Larson, a powerful new voice in Christian fantasy, introduce you to an Old Testament–style world full of intrigue, suspense, and high action—and Ela, the young girl who is the land's only hope for peace.

Close your eyes, Ela of Parne. Close your eyes and you will see.

Ela Roeh of Parne doesn't understand why her beloved Creator, the Infinite, wants her to become His prophet. She's undignified, bad-tempered, and only seventeen—not to mention that no prophet of Parne has ever been a girl. Worst of all, as the elders often warn, if she agrees to become the Infinite's prophet, Ela knows she will die young.

Istgard has turned their back on me. See the evil they do.

Yet after experiencing His presence, she can't imagine living without Him. Determined to follow the Infinite's voice, Ela accepts the sacred vinewood branch and is sent to bring the Infinite's word to a nation torn apart by war. There she meets Kien, a young Traceland ambassador determined to bring his own justice for his oppressed people. As they form an unlikely partnership, Ela must surrender to her destiny ... and determine how to balance the leading of her heart with the leading of the Infinite.

Will you accept the branch and speak my will? Will you be my prophet?

The Client List Pilot #WatchedItWednesday



The Client List is a Lifetime Series, airing on Sunday Nights. The Client List cast is- Jennifer Love Hewitt, Cybill Shepard, Colin Egglesfield, Lorretta Devine, Rebbeca Field and a few others.

Let me start with Jennifer Love Hewitt is just stunning! She is so beautiful. She plays and amazing girl next door, with a little twist. She totally fits this part. I am basing this information for the Lifetime TV Movie The Client List.


Jennifer Love Hewitt is just beautiful, and one amazing actress. She has been playing a girl next door in a lot of the shows she has been in. This is going to be a mix of a girl next door, and a bad girl or a good girl doing bad things.
Everyone’s got something to hide and Riley Parks is no exception. Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Riley, a single mother, living in a small Texas town and leading a shocking double life. Her secret would send shockwaves through the community and possibly land her in jail if it was ever exposed. Riley’s taken a job at a seemingly traditional day spa, but soon realizes that the parlor offers a little more than just massage therapy. It’s not the happy ending she was expecting but it does open her eyes to a world she’s never seen before. The series follows Riley balancing these two worlds - one that revolves around her kids and family - and the other that revolves around the massage parlor and it’s special clientele. These two worlds couldn’t be farther apart, yet she’s totally comfortable in both. Keeping them separate … now that’s the tricky part as she discovers she’s not the only one with secrets.

This show is going to be along some of the same story line as the TV Movie, but they started the pilot already with her husband leaving. Before he even found out that she gives "extra" message. So that kind of took a story line form the series. I am still wanting to know how this will play out. Will the series going to focus on 1 client each week or  what will they do. I guess we will just have to keep watching to find out.
