When Calls the Heart-Hearts in Question A Review


ABOUT HEARTS IN QUESTION

An air of discord settles over Hope Valley when Jack’s spirited mother, Charlotte, pays an unexpected visit… and stays with Elizabeth.

Meanwhile Gowen comes under suspicion for "irregularities", in the bank’s bookkeeping, and as he and Nora prepare to leave town, Bill and Jack must contend with a violent storm, rising flood waters and the collapse of the Silverton mine!

MY REVIEW
  When Calls The Heart-Hearts in Question is another amazing DVD in this Hallmark series. So many things happen on one  show. It doesn’t just have one story line, but several and I love that.
  Jack’s mother comes and tells Elizabeth how to cook food, wash clothes and do the things that Jack likes.
  Rosemary and Lee are putting together there wedding. Everything has to be more than perfect for Rosemary, but she learns some valuable lessons.
  Will Gowen’s bad practices catch up with him? Nora and Gowen leave town and you can imagine why.
 All of this si going on and a very violent storm brings floods, collapse of the Silverton mine. So much action and adventure. The ending is just magical, but some have to go through horrible heartaches.
  Really a thrilling show that will make you want to watch it again and again. Highly recommend this fantastic series.

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.

Caged No More DVD Review


ABOUT CAGED NO MORE

Aggie, A 67 year-old Black Cajun, has just stepped into her worst nightmare. Her two granddaughters have disappeared, and the only clue she possesses is a forgotten laptop. Aware she only has a short window of time, she feels helpless to save them as her money and influence are scarce. Desperate to get her girls back, Aggie risks everything to cross paths with Richard and Lottie DuMonde, two of the wealthiest and most connected people in New Orleans. Certainly, once they hear her story, they will help. But what Aggie doesn't foresee is the dark world she's about to step into, or the dangers accompanying the rescue needed to bring her girls home.

 Parents Strongly Cautioned
Studio: Word Films P&D
DVD Release Date: June 7, 2016
Run Time: 90 minutes







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.

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.

MY REVIEW
  I just love the When Calls the Heart series. This is Season 3 and Troubled Hearts is Movie 2. I look forward to each and every one of the shows. Just wholesome, interesting, pure enjoyment in each show.
  So many things are going on that you are never bored and you love the show so much you don’t want it to end.
  Jack and Elizabeth are both looking to the future in getting houses of their own. Rosemary is trying to be a part of Lee’s life, but she just gets things are mixed up. Another really exciting part is when the new boy Jesse is trying to cause trouble with Frank and is given an old wanted poster.
   I really like and enjoy this series. It’s hard to have favorites, but I really like Pastor Frank, Rosemary and Lee. Of course the best ones are Jack and Elizabeth.
  Truly a wonderful, entertaining show full of love, surprises and adventure. You never know what will happen next. Highly recommended. The whole family will love this series.

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.

DVD Review-When Calls the Heart-It Begins with Heart


ABOUT WHEN CALLS THE HEART-IT BEGINS WITH HEART

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.

( 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.

  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.

Faith of our Fathers DVD review and GIVEAWAY

ABOUT FAITH OF OUR FATHERS
John Paul and Wayne are two young men in search of their fathers. Problem is….their fathers have been dead for 25 years. Eddie and Steven are two young men in search of their sons….whom they’ve never met.

  In 1969, Eddie and Steven are with their squad deep in the jungle of Vietnam on a five-day mission to retrieve fallen comrades. They write letters to their wives, often mentioning their love for their sons, one, who is an infant and one yet to be born.

  In 1994 John Paul and Wayne go of a five day road trip to the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC to see their fathers’ names. Along the way, reading those letters, they begin to get an understanding of who their fathers were and how they died.

  Trials and mishaps, both funny and sad, complicate the road trip for the boys. The horrors of war and the testing of faith manifest themselves for the young men in Vietnam. Ultimately, in parallel stories-25 years apart-the fathers and sons are bound together forever.

MY REVIEW
  Faith of our Fathers is a very serious DVD, but with moments of great humor and fun. It tells the story of two different groups of young men. Two are the fathers and then it tells the story of their sons 25 years later. The DVD goes back and forth between the two and it is so very good.
  The two fathers in Vietnam is a truly touching, heart-rending story that I just loved. It really shows the things that go on in war and how faith is a big part of it.
  The two sons also is touching, but with so much humor thrown in that you will laugh at parts and cry at other parts.
  Very good DVD. You won’t want to miss this one. This story Faith of our Fathers is made by the same studio that brought you God’s Not Dead. Highly recommend Faith of our Fathers.

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
  When Calls the Heart-Heart and Home is one of the best episodes of this series. I really, really enjoyed it.
  Tom (Jack’s brother) and Julie (Elizabeth’s sister) get into a car accident. So both Jack and Elizabeth go back to Hamilton. Hard feelings and hurt feelings come between are four of these people. Each blaming the other for what happened.
  Them Tom and Julie decide to run off together which causes more problems. Also Elizabeth’s dad offers Jack a job so he will be good enough for his daughter, which doesn’t sit well at all.
  On top of all of that Elizabeth tells Charles she only wants his friendship, but Charles won’t let it go.
   You can just imagine  all of the drama and things that could happen with these things going on. Love, love, love this second season of When Calls the Heart. Highly recommend this for everyone who loves action, adventure, faith and love.

Find a Way DVD A Review


ABOUT FIND A WAY
Finding faith can be difficult for many people on any given day. Imagine an ordinary Sunday morning. It's time to get ready for church and you go to wake your talented, loving. bright, beautiful son. Only, he won't wake up....ever again.

This is how tragedy began for a Burlington, North Carolina family. Their son, Harry Cohen, was a high school senior-a genuinely inspirational young man, star football player, friend to all and a strong Christian. One morning he didn't wake up. The untimely death of an outstanding young person naturally brings up questions about faith and God's presence. How can God allow such a thing to happen? The event obviously has an immense effect on family, friends and the community at large.

Things that previously seamed to be so important are put into perspective and we can gain an understanding as to what is truly important in life. Harry is gone from us, but he continues to inspire actions, words and deeds with a message of faith and hope. Find a Way will stand as a tribute to Harry Cohen and be a beacon of hope to anyone who has ever death with pain and heartache.

MY REVIEW
  There are a few Christian movies that just aren’t very good, but Find A Way sure isn’t one of them. This is a very powerful, thought-provoking DVD.  I was riveted to my seat wondering how everything would turn out. Inspired by a true story.
   You will really like Smiley {Harry}  he is such a kind, sweet, gentle but strong Christian. Everyone he meets becomes his instant friend. He will help anyone and everyone.
  Then the unthinkable happens Smiley a high school Senior suddenly dies.
This DVD shows us how one life can affect so many people. How Smiley makes a difference in so many lives.
  Find a Way is such a touching, heart-rending show. It gives you such hope and compassion. It will make you think and bring a tear to your eye.
   In this movie we see how his death helps and affects so many people and families. Some on the edge of life changes and horrible mistakes.
  I believe this should be the movie of the year. Really, really good and I highly recommend it.

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.

Trials of the Heart A REVIEW

ABOUT TRIALS OF THE HEART
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 Laughlin (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 Thatcher (Krakow) is an independent, strong-willed teacher who has foregone the life of the big city and found a job, a home (and romance with a handsome Mountie named Jack) in the small frontier town of Coal Valley. But when she learns that her mother has taken ill, she returns to Hamilton, her hometown, with Jack as her escort. Once in the comparably opulent Hamilton, Elizabeth and Jack are confounded by Jack’s ne’er-do-well brother and Elizabeth’s former suitor, Charles Kensington. But it is Elizabeth’s father, William, who drives a wedge between them when he suggests to Jack that Charles would be a better match for his well-bred daughter.

MY REVIEW
The two hour special of When Calls the Heart season 2 is just fantastic. It is full of love, surprises and danger, but so very, very good.
  What we have all been looking forward to is the trial and many, many surprising things happen with that.  I love that it was a lady lawyer who came. At first everyone thought she couldn’t do the right job, but that soon changed.
   Elizabeth is called home because her mother is ailing and Jack takes her. She fits in like she never left, but Jack doesn’t.  You can watch as Elizabeth shops with sisters, has parties and renews old friendships.
  You will be astounded at all of the new things that happen and also rejoice at the old friends we made in season one and meet many new people who become friends in season two.
  Two hours of suspense, family, love and hope.  I highly recommend this fantastic show. I love it because the values are wholesome and it is just an exciting show. You need to buy the DVD and if by chance you have never seen these shows you must watch just one. If you do watch one you will be hooked and join all of us Hearties.
Highly recommended.

Number of discs: 1
Studio: Capitol Christian
DVD Release Date: June 2, 2015
Run Time: 110 minutes

MY REVIEW
  Virtuous is a movie about many different women, but the main focus is on Simone who murders a man because he tried to assault her. She has a bad past but is now trying to lead a decent life.
  It is also about a young woman who was in the war and got captured and tortured, but God gives her the strength to keep going.
  Another woman in the movie is an older judge who puts up with an abusive husband. Not beating her, but verbal abuse.
  How they all hear in church that God loves them and they are precious in His sight. How this insight changes each of these woman and also others.
  Jack Evans is Simone’s lawyer and he proves that this has happened before to many women, but they didn’t do anything about it.
  If you want a faith-based movie that shows how women overcome the trials they go through with the Lord’s help this movie is for you.
  Excellent acting and very good actors.  Highly recommended and very enjoyable.

ASIN: B00OHLR6QY


MY REVIEW
  The Identical is a very interesting, fast-paced movie. I really enjoyed how twin boys born to a very poor farmer during the depression became separated when they were infants, but later their paths crossed.
 This movie shows how twins are so much alike even when they are separated.
  The singers sort of give you the impression of Elvis, but they don’t say it.
  You will see how a secret kept will eventually come out. How it hurts everyone who keeps the secret and those it is about. Also it talks about how parents sometimes put their own expectations on  their children and the children go along with it at first. Everyone has to make their own career choices and do what God intended for them to do.
  The Identical is a very good, God-orientated movie. The whole movie is about what God has for a person and how we can forgive others for the wrong they have done us.
   Some very touching scenes that will make you run for your tissues. I highly recommend this DVD.
Even my adult children loved it and thought it was interesting.

MY REVIEW
   The next story in the When Calls the Heart series, Rules of Engagement is the best one yet. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  Rules of Engagement is a very tender, compassionate story.
  Jack and Elizabeth are getting along very well, until  someone from Jack’s past comes to town.
   A new character Bill who is investigating the mine cave-in, who is very attentive to Abigail. They work together to expose what happened at the mine.
   Rules of Engagement stops at a cliff hanging scene so I know their will be more and I look forward to it. Really did enjoy this DVD and look forward to the next one.
  Michael Landon Jr. and Hallmark make the best movies. Get this series for your DVD library. It will be well worth your time and money. This is a 5-star DVD. Highly recommended.
