Runaway Father (1991)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

Evidently "Runaway Father" is based on a true story and if it isn't it certainly plays out like one. And it is an interesting story of a woman who found amazing courage and strength to pick up the pieces of her life and make ...

Everything to Gain (1996)

87 mins     Drama, Mystery, Romance, TV Movie      

The last movie I watched which had the words "Barbara Taylor Bradford's" preceding the title took me by surprise as it was very different to what I had been expecting. It is because of that I sat down to watch "Barbara Taylor...

Silent Predators (1999)

91 mins     Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller, TV Movie      

"Silent Predators" is a tale as old as time or at least that is who it feels when you are a movie fan who grew up on "Jaws". Here we have that classic small town under threat from a natural threat, so substitute sharks for sn...

Hollywood Wives: The New Generation (2003)

93 mins     Drama, TV Movie

Honeymoon with Mom (2006)

86 mins     Comedy      

As a teen I watched "Cheers" almost religiously and always loved Shelley Long as Diane, it's for that reason that I decided to risk watching "Honeymoon with Mom" because I feared it would be bad but it did star Shelley Long. ...

Nuclear Hurricane (2007)

88 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller, TV Movie      

Rarely has a movie started and done such a bad job of getting me interested with one poor scene after another but that is exactly what "Nuclear Hurricane" managed to do. Now I stuck with it partly because I thought how could ...

The Dog Who Saved the Holidays (2012)

83 mins     Comedy, Family, TV Movie      

The Dog Who Saved the Holidays (2012) the Bannisters are in California for Christmas and as per usual chaos follows them as do a couple of bungling burglars...

The Thanksgiving House (2013)

I will leave it there but had better say spoiler alert as I am likely to mention something which gives the plot to "The Thanksgiving House" away not that it takes a genius to work out how this Hallmark romantic comedy will en...
