Gentle Ben: Terror on the Mountain (2002)

100 mins     Drama, Family, TV Movie      

I kind of remember watching the re-runs of "Gentle Ben" as a kid or if truth be told I remember Clint Howard as young Mark Wedloe rather than any of the detail or stories. That probably works in my favour when it comes to the...

Johnson County War (2002)

178 mins     TV Movie, Western      

I like me a good western mini-series, the scope that 3 hours offers a western drama often means we have everything from characters and great landscapes through to an engaging drama and various subplots. Unfortunately when it ...

Straight from the Heart (2003)

100 mins     Drama, Romance      

Movie Review - Straight from the Heart (2003) New York photographer Jordan (Teri Polo) finds herself falling for rancher Tyler Ross (Andrew McCarthy) when she spends some time on his ranch. But not only does she have a boyfri...

Gentle Ben 2: Danger on the Mountain (2003)

100 mins     Drama, Family, TV Movie      

Some might call it unoriginal and cheesy; I call it good natured for a new generation. I am on about "Gentle Ben 2: Danger on the Mountain" which basically serves up innocent family drama for a new generation who probably had...

The Hollywood Mom's Mystery (2004)

87 mins     Crime, Drama      

Starring Justine Bateman "The Hollywood Mom's Mystery" is a waspish stab at the Hollywood lifestyle interweaved a murder mystery story. Corny, comical, soap opera-ish it could be terrible but strangely it's entertaining....

Life on Liberty Street (2004)

89 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

"Life on Liberty Street" is a disappointment not so much for what we see but for how the storyline has been handled, turning what could be an insightful and touching movie into a very cliche one. Within this storyline which r...

The Trail to Hope Rose (2004)

89 mins     TV Movie, Western      

Movie Review - The Trail to Hope Rose (2004) Lou Diamond Phillips stars as Keenan Deerfield, a former outlaw trying to go straight but only straight in to trouble due to his corrupt boss, Samuel Drigger (Warren Stevens)...

Movie Review - Back to You and Me (2005) Lisa Hartman stars as Dr. Syd Ludwick who following the death of a patient returns to her home town to think about things only to find her high school sweet heart, Gus (Dale Midkiff) s...

Detective (2005)

171 mins     Crime, Drama, TV Movie      

I will say one thing for "Detective", also known as "Arthur Hailey's Detective"; it certainly has a lot going on. Unfortunately what I will also say is that all it ends up is an elaborate crime, drama but one which sadly stru...

Mystery Woman: Game Time (2005)

95 mins     Crime, Mystery, TV Movie      

Meta Description...

Desolation Canyon (2006)

90 mins     TV Movie, Western      

As a western fan "Desolation Canyon" is bad with its romanticized vision of the Wild West where disputes are settled with a handshake and a comical quip. In fact as westerns go this is one of the corniest often painful movies...

Mystery Woman: Oh Baby (2006)

81 mins     Mystery, TV Movie      

Mystery Woman: Oh Baby - Kellie Martin as Samantha is left holding the baby when its parents go missing and seem to be connected to a murder at a golf course...

Mystery Woman: Redemption (2006)

77 mins     Crime, Mystery, TV Movie      

Whilst not the fourth movie in the series "Mystery Woman: Redemption" is the fourth one which I have watched and it is interesting to see how the series has transitioned. It started off a bit awkwardly, then it found its groo...

Mystery Woman: Wild West Mystery (2006)

90 mins     Crime, Mystery, TV Movie      

If you think about all the crimes, murders and mysteries which have gone down in the fictional town of Walden you would expect the police force to be a lot bigger than it appears in the "Mystery Woman" series of movies whilst...

Avenging Angel (2007)

81 mins     Western      

Whilst William Sims Myers may have written "Avenging Angel" if you know your westerns you can't but help notice a few similarities mainly that it feels like two Clint Eastwood westerns combined. It starts with a bit of "The O...

Sacrifices of the Heart (2007)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

Movie Review - Sacrifices of the Heart (2007) Melissa Gilbert stars as Kate who has become estranged from her father ever since her mother committed suicide. But now having learned her father is suffering from Alzheimer's dis...

Murder 101: If Wishes Were Horses (2007)

82 mins     Crime, Drama, TV Movie      

What is there to say about "Murder 101: If Wishes Were Horses" other than it is the 3rd "Murder 101" movie. Well I could mention the storyline about a kidnapped race horse but to be honest that isn't that interesting and I co...

Mystery Woman: In the Shadows (2007)

82 mins     Mystery, TV Movie      

Mystery Woman: In the Shadows - Samantha finds herself involved in a case of a murdered former KGB spy which puts her in grave danger...
