Rueben's Ramblings

On March 23, the movie Shadow on the Mesa will debut on the Hallmark Movie Channel at 8 PM.

Bounty hunter Wes Rawlins (Wes Brown from Deception) is a man of few words and the American West’s quickest draw. A silent but calculatingly honest man, Wes is devastated when his mother is brutally murdered by a couple of outlaws who are still on the run. Determined to solve the crime and bring justice to his family, Wes leaves his adopted grandparents (Meredith Baxter and Barry Corbin) and sets off to find the father he never knew, a rancher named Ray Eastman (Kevin Sorbo from Andromeda and Hercules). Ray is in the midst of an increasingly bloody feud with a corrupt neighbor, Pete Dowdy (Greg Evigan), who greedily wants to take all of Ray’s land. As Wes gets to know his father and two half-siblings, Ray’s deceitful wife, Mona (Gail O’Grady from NYPD Blue) holds a secret that fuels the war to a colossal final showdown. When Wes jumps in to defend his new family, he learns the truth behind his mother’s murder and soon his life will never be the same.

Here is the trailer for Shadow on the Mesa.
