ABOUT THE STUDENT BODY
  This true story really shows us how we can be cruel without even meaning to. The Student Body tells the story of two girls fighting against bullying and the government insincerity while investigating the problem of childhood obesity.
  Different schools made the children get weighed and then they find out what there BMI is So if don’t fit within the numbers there were sent a letter saying they were not without certain numbers and essentially told they were fat.
  I think this is very unfair as children and young adults are at a stage when they think everything about themselves is wrong. They think they are to fat, to skinny, their hair is to straight or to curly etc… Now to put this on them is just to much.
  One of the girls is a journalist major and made this film documentary to try to get to the bottom of why the children were sent letters. She also tried numerous times to talk to her senator and he wouldn’t talk to her. She tried emails, phone calls, tried to see him at a rally. Then she went to his office and confronted him face to face.
  This is quite an excellent documentary and I recommend it for each and every one.  It kept me very interested and it will show you if you don’t give up you will get answers to your questions.

MY REVIEW
   When  Calls the Heart-Forever in my Heart is Movie 4 of the third season. I really did enjoy this movie. Many sweet, tearful scenes that I loved.
  Jack tries to help a young couple to get back together whom the husband left, because he is afraid he will be like his dad in the marriage.
  Cody’s sister Becky comes back from the hospital and is temporarily in a wheelchair. Then the children’s long-lost aunt shows up. She wants to take the children back to live with her.
The sawmill is still being damaged and Rosemary may leave Hope Valley in the hopes of being a star in movies.
   All of these characters and scenes would make a great show, but when they are all together it is fabulous. Love how this show turned out and the love and sweetness of the different scenes.
   Except for the impairment of Lee’s sawmill, which was quite exciting and adventurous.
  Really love this movie and  you will also. Highly recommended. It is a movie the whole family can watch and be entertained.

MY REVIEW
  Caged No More is inspired by real events. This DVD is well put together. It shows how somWord e parents when they don’t have any other way out of their money troubles will go as far as selling their children.
  The actors and actresses are Loretta Devine, Kevin Sorbo, Alan Powell and Cassidy Gifford.
  It’s really sad to see that these poor sweet girls get locked in a room and live a life of pure terror day after day. There isn’t any escaping unless they die.
  In Caged No More the story is about two sisters. One who already was sold and one that is close to being sold into the sex trade.
    The DVD shows how people fight for these girls to get them out, but also how some never make it out. A grandmother, the girls Uncle and his son are some that fight this fight. They have to go through a lot and see a lot.
   The movie Caged No More ends good, but it is still sad because you know that this will continue to go on for many others.
  This is an excellent movie, but it isn’t for younger children. Some scenes will be upsetting, but things like this have to be brought to our attention.
Highly recommend.

MY REVIEW
  Another riveting adventure with Jack, Elizabeth and all of their friends. You will even meet some new characters, or characters you have briefly met in past episodes.
  Love abounds, but so does action, adventure, hope and terror. It doesn’t matter what kind of show you like Heart of a Hero has it all.
  My favorite part of this episode is when the little boy Abigail is taking care of wants to be loved and how he goes about it. It is a very touching scene.
  Abigail and Frank have a long way to go in their relationship, but they don’t give up.
   Jack and Elizabeth are always sweet together and seem to be getting along very well.
  If you have never seen the series When Calls the Heart {Can’t believe there is anyone who hasn’t} you will just love it. So much adventure and tenderness. Highly recommended.

ABOUT ASHES OF EDEN
 Choose this day whom you will serve.....
18-year old Red made some bad choices. He's done his time, but he's still paying the consequences. He's finding that having a bad reputation and being in the wrong place at the wrong time are an unfortunate combination - even when you're trying to do the right thing. Secretly selling stolen drugs in order to help his police office mother pay the mortgage starts a bloodbath between rival dealers. Lives are lost, relationships destroyed, faith is questioned. And, Red is in the center of the spotlight. Can this gritty cautionary tale end with redemption? Perhaps. But, it comes with a price.

MY REVIEW
  Ashes of Eden is a good movie that can teach us lots of things.
  I must admit that the beginning was very slow. I know you have to get all of the back story, but it could have moved along quicker.
  A police officer is trying to raise her two sons alone, but is having lots of financial  troubles. Her older son, Red gets in with the wrong crowd, but wants to help his mother. So he steals drugs to sell. So his troubles get worse and worse.
  His mother tries to keep him out of trouble with the law, which is her first mistake. Then Red gets kicked out of school and lands up in trouble again. So his mother kicks him out of the house.
  He gets into trouble deeper and deeper. People are being killed and he is on the run.
  The conclusion of Ashes of Eden is really thrilling. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat. I like the ending of the movie and will recommend it for all. It saddens me to see people get involved in the drug trade or crime. Sometimes it seems there’s no way out.  I like the theme No man can serve two masters. Really good.
  One thing I didn't care for was the use of the language. I don't believe movies need swearing. This movie blocked out the swear words. I don't think that is any better than swearing. Just my opinion.

MY REVIEW
  This isn’t my favorite kind of movie to watch, but I said I would review it so I did.
  Awakened is about an evil spirit that takes over a man. All around it is an O.K. movie. Some scary scenes but not extremely so. The actors are fair and the story line is intriguing.
  The story takes place when a couple move into a smaller home, because of lack of work they have to downsize. Jacob cleans out the basement and finds an old recording of a 1960’s jazz singer. He can’t quit listening to the recording and then he starts to hear her voice.
  Jacob’s wife, Haley goes to church off and on, but Jacob doesn’t go.
  The things I didn’t like about this DVD is the part of church and things the Pastor said are to few. Most of this movie is about the haunting. I feel to fight spiritual forces you must be more grounded in the Lord and very close to Him. Since Jacob didn’t have a relationship with the Lord, I don’t see how the evil spirit left him. When the spirit left the wife said a few things, but nothing really deep. I know this is a made up movie, but I don’t find it very realistic. Fighting spiritual battles is very serious business. I don’t feel Awakening showed that.
  If you watch this I caution you not to let younger children watch. I believe this movie could have been so much better with more praying of the actors and more church teaching/preaching.

Chasing Grace DVD Review

ABOUT CHASING GRACE
A tragic accident threatens to destroy a pastor’s family and sets into motion a complex betrayal between two brothers, while exposing secrets no one wants to face.

Pastor Jonathan Matheson lives in a world of black and white, yet finds a way to navigate the “grey in-between” to work to his advantage, while facing one of the most tragic moments of his life. Set in small-town America and woven inside a tale of redemption, “Chasing Grace” is a story of how one family takes on the burden of guilt in order to make sense of their loss. While pointing the finger of blame at his brother, Pastor Jonathan also chooses to hide from the truth while trying to escape his own personal demons. “Chasing Grace” is loosely based upon true events and provides a powerful story about the redeeming power of forgiveness.

MY REVIEW
  Chasing Grace is a fantastic DVD. So many issues are covered in this DVD. I wanted to see Chasing Grace ever since I’ve heard of it. Really glad I got the chance to watch and review it.
   When you watch this you will see how secrets always comes out, but not always in the way you would think. Chasing Grace talks about problems like alcoholism, guilt, death, grief and redemption. Really Chasing Grace is a love story about family.
  Chasing Grace is about a young girl and a tragedy that haunts her family and friends until everyone is blaming themselves that it happened. How this family came through it and the steps they took to bring it about.
   A lot of harsh things are said, but needed saying and that in itself was a help. It amazes me how one life touches so many others. How many people are touched by one mistake.
  I really like this DVD Chasing Grace as it helps us all see that only going with God completely and giving everything over to Him will make our lives right and keep us right.
  Really fantastic DVD that makes us all think that we aren’t alone in this life and our lives touch so many others.

MY REVIEW
  Living Hope is a wonderful documentary about three people who changed their lives to help and serve people in South Africa.  I was moved and greatly inspired by all of these people. They are doing as the Lord tells us, to serve the sick and poor.
  John Thomas, a pastor who with his church are helping the sick, hungry and dying.  In this DVD you can find out why they are helping the sick and poor and meet some of the people that they have helped. How through this program they are bringing many souls to the Lord.
  Joey Lankford a very prosperous businessman and father of four. He had everything anyone could want, but something was missing from his life. God spoke to him and Joey followed the Lord. They moved to Cape Town and Joey is helping the people with job skills and helping them get out of poverty. I really was inspired by this young man and his wife. He really has a heart for the people and doing the will of the Lord.
  Leonie Rustin, is a single mom and she is an assistant nurse. She was very addicted to drugs and doing her own thing. She is an amazing lady. Leonie really loves the Lord and the people who are around her that are addicted to drugs and prostitution. She tries to help as many as she can to come clean and live a decent life.
  All three of these people are doing a mighty work for the Lord and His kingdom. It is so inspiring and amazing what a person can do if they just try. As long as you have God on your side you can do anything.
  I highly recommend this documentary. You will be blessed just by watching it.

Noble DVD Review

Christina Noble overcomes the harsh difficulties of her childhood in Ireland to discover her destiny on the streets of Saigon. A true story

Vietnam. 1989. Fourteen years after the end of the war. When Irish woman Christina Noble flies into Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) she leaves behind an extraordinary life story. But the best is yet to come. Christina lands in a country "that she wouldn't be able to show you on a map". With a few dollars, a dream and her own hard-won courage, she is about to change everything. For hundreds of thousands of people. Forever. NOBLE is the inspirational true story of a woman who believes that it only takes one person to make a difference. And of how she is proved right.

Christina Noble dreamed a dream, but it wasn’t the type of dream that brings peace in the midst of trouble or joy of a happier future. Christina Noble dreamed of war-soaked Vietnam, of children in trouble, of cries for help. While some people might run from such a dream, Noble knew that the dream was from God, and she pursued that dream faithfully. Because of her, thousands of children have been saved.

MY REVIEW
  Noble is an incredible true story of a dream that rescued a million lives. She grew up in a poor part of town with a father that was an alcoholic and a mother who died to young. Noble and her siblings were all sent to foster care, her father just didn‘t want to take care of them. She wasn’t loved very much when she was young, but that didn’t stop her from caring and trying to make a difference in others lives.
  One night she dreamed about Vietnam and the poor children there. Later she make it to Vietnam and saw first hand all of the children who lived on the streets and ate out of the garbage.  She knew something had to be done and she would be the one to start things up.
  Christina didn’t have much money, but she spoke with many companies, oil companies etc.. She practically begged them for help. No one helped until one company did and everything went up from there.
  This DVD is an amazing retelling of Christina Noble’s life and the lives she touched. It is a very touching and inspiring movie of what can be done if only one person cares. Highly recommended.

MY REVIEW
  Just when you think something can’t get any better, you are greatly surprised. When Calls the Heart-It Begins with Heart, Season 3, Episode 1 is such a special, tender story. It is full of suspense, action, but also love, compassion and forgiveness.
  We see our favorites returning, also a few new characters and new plot lines. The actors and actresses are very good at what they do and are very believable in their roles.
   This is a continuing story from episode to episode. Some people have called it like unto Downton Abbey. It is, but a series the whole family can watch without worrying what might come next. When Calls the Heart is a very wholesome, family-oriented series.
  Not only does this show have funny, quirky parts, but parts of great severity and things to make us think.
  When Calls the Heart-It Begins with Heart is such a wonderful, wonderful entertaining show. Sesaon 3 is starting with a bang. Watch all of the Seasons if you haven’t yet. Each one is full of many great teaching moments. So thankful to be able to watch an entertaining, wholesome, exciting series.
  Highly recommended. It Begins with Heart is full of surprises. Watch and see for yourself.

MY REVIEW
  When Calls the Heart Complete Season 2 is amazing. If you are a Heartie or just love this series you need to buy this 10 DVD Collectors Edition set.
  I’m amazed at all of the content in this special set. The five episodes in the movie version, all of the episodes that were shown on the Hallmark channel, a fantastic Special Features Disc. ( will talk more about the special features later), Winter in Hope Valley instrumental CD, and a special short film Journey To Jamaa (True story) produced by Michael Landon Jr. and Brian Bird. That CD Journey To Jamaa should get a review all on its own. Amazing story.
  The extra features DVD has the life stories of Janette Oke and Michael Landon Jr. Which are just remarkable in themselves. Get to know what and who formed their lives. Trailers of course, The stars talk about the Hearties, Get to know the stars of the show and behind the scenes. Every feature is just incredible. I really love getting to know these wonderful people and of yes, so many fantastic pictures.  This 10 DVD edition is well worth the price. What Heartie or just anyone wouldn’t love this?  Highly recommended. Wish I could recommend it more.

MY REVIEW
  When Calls the Heart-Follow your Heart is the last episode of the second season and oh what a way to end it. Now I’m just sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the Christmas special and season three to start.
  So many exciting things happened in Follow your Heart. Of course we know Jack and Elizabeth had a big argument on the last episode and they aren’t talking to much.
  Jack is still trying to get all of the people in the counterfeit ring, almost gets shot in this episode.
  Julie misses Tom and her family doesn’t try to understand, they just want her to move on with  her life without Tom.
   Abigail and Pastor Frank and getting to be closer friends, but she finds out something that makes her rethink her ideas of him.
  To top all of that off Elizabeth accidentally lets Rip out of Jack’s office during a thunderstorm and he runs away. So Jack and Elizabeth are off to find him in a cave and that’s when love and disaster strikes.
  Love, love, love this series and this ending episode just has me wanting to see more and more. Highly recommended for the whole family. Very good viewing for all members of your household.

MY REVIEW
  Adrenaline is an awesome movie. The actors are Gregory Alan Williams, Charlene Amoia, Michael Rosander, John Schneider. It shows you what will and determination will do for someone.
  Joseph is in a car accident after a street race and loses the  use of his legs.  When he is in the hospital he rooms with Elijah and finds out that just because something bad happens it doesn’t mean your life is over. Elijah helps him through many rough and impossible things in his life.
     When Joseph goes back home he and his Uncle Paul talk and things start moving forward from there.  Joseph wants to get back into racing, but how can a man who can’t use his legs race?
  Joseph meets a fantastic therpist who helps him in many ways and they fall in love. Joseph also goes back to the hospital to visit Elijah many times and Elijah always has words of wisdom for him and it always makes him think.
  Just when things are going so well in many parts of his life Jason shows up in the races. Jason is the one Joseph is racing when he gets in the horrible accident. It keeps bugging Joseph to race Jason. He can’t get it out of his mind. Also Joseph keeps having a dream about his dad that died when he was young. See how all of this fits together and see what Joseph finally decides to do.
  Highly recommended DVD for friends and family. Very good family friendly movie. If you love the racing life and even if you don’t you will love this movie.

When Calls the Heart-Heart of the Family DVD review

WHEN CALLS THE HEART-HEART OF THE FAMILY
From celebrated author Janette Oke (The Love Comes Softly series) comes a rigorous and romantic adventure as epic as the wide frontier. Erin Krakow (Army Wives), Daniel Lissing (Eye Candy) and Lori Loughlin (Full House, 90210) star in When Calls The Heart, "a beautiful story with roots in relationships, self-empowerment, and the enduring power of love", (Common Sense Media).

Elizabeth returns to Hope Valley and immediately volunteers to look after a neighbor’s rural homestead… and his two children, an undertaking which proves to be a bigger chore than she’d imagined. But when Jack lends a hand, and they wind up chatting by the fire, all seems right in Hope Valley and the world. Meanwhile, in Hamilton, Bill Avery sets about busting a counterfeiting ring wide open, an endeavor which surprisingly leads him to Hope Valley, where he mysteriously declines Jack’s help. But Bill isn’t the only big-town visitor: Elizabeth is even more surprised to see her former suitor, Charles Kensington, standing right in the middle of her schoolhouse!

MY REVIEW
   The Hallmark T.V. series of When Calls the Heart just gets better and better. In this episode called Heart of the Family Elizabeth finally gets back to Hope Valley and reunites with Jack. They make such a great couple, don’t they?!
   What I like about these shows are they have funny, touching and very serious topics included in each episode.
   When city/country girl Elizabeth helps a local farmer with his children and farm while he is gone the laughs begin. Of course Jack comes to help and lends a hand, which is greatly needed.
   Bill Avery is after a counterfeiting ring, but is very mysterious, which makes a person wonder is he a good guy or bad guy.
  Also low and behold Charles Kensington shows up and upsets things. He claims he is just there on business. I just don’t care for Charles to me he seems like trouble.
  Very interesting, entertaining DVD. Love the When Calls the Heart series and I highly recommend it. If you haven’t seen any of the shows buy them on DVDs to catch up, because Season three is coming soon.

MY REVIEW
  Another When Calls the Heart is out on DVD. This one is called Heart and Soul. If you’ve never watched these movies on the Hallmark channel or seen any of the former DVDs now would be an excellent time to start.  These shows are inspired by the author Janette Oke. Whom we all love.
  In Heart and Soul while Jack and Elizabeth are away from each other many things happen. Elizabeth is staying with her family until her mother gets better and Jack has to get back to Hope Valley for his Mountie duties.
  Elizabeth reacquaints herself with her old friend Charles and Jack looks out for Rosemary as she is kidnapped by so called Producers.
  Also the part I really liked is when Abigail goes to Elizabeth’s home to try and find her daughter-in-law.  Abigail wonders why she hasn’t written or why she wouldn’t stay with her. Many secrets and relationships are changing and not all in a positive way. I really love the When Calls the Heart series and Heart and Soul is fantastic.  Highly recommend this series. You will love owning these DVDs.
