Movie of the Week Recommendation: Miss Christmas

November 1, 2017 by Rueben

The original movie Miss Christmas will debut on the Hallmark Channel on November 5 at 8 PM.

Holly Kuhn (Brooke D’Orsay from Royal Pains) is on her annual mission of finding a majestic specimen for The National Tree. While searching for the perfect Christmas fir for the Washington, D.C. Holiday Tree Lighting ceremony, Holly receives a letter from a boy detailing why his town boasts the most beautiful evergreen.

Holly travels to the boy’s quaint New England town, where she meets his handsome uncle, Sam McCary (Marc Blucas from Necessary Roughness). Sam owns the land from which it grows and is a protective steward. It holds such deep meaning for Sam that he’s not about to let it be chopped down even for such an honor. Still, Holly finds herself falling for Sam, and they discover the magic that this perfect tree can bring, just in time for the holidays.

Here is a trailer for Miss Christmas.

On November 4, the Hallmark Channel original movie Christmas Festival of Ice will debut at 8 PM.

Those years of law school pay off for Emma (Taylor Cole) but not in ways one would expect. When she finds out that her beloved ice-sculpting contest, part of her hometown’s Christmas festival, has been canceled, she springs into action. Determined to keep it going, she enlists sponsors and artists. Nick (Damon Runyan), the town’s ace artisan, isn’t interested in competing this year, but Emma wants him as her teammate. Considering what she’s managed to accomplish, Nick is impressed and signs on. As Emma and Nick work together, she realizes there’s more to life than legal briefs. Transformed by Emma’s can-do spirit, Nick is invigorated, too. They just might have a shot at winning this very special Christmas contest – and a lot more.

Wendy Crewson also stars.

New Show Introduction: Alias Grace

October 30, 2017 by Rueben

On November 3, the new Netflix series Alias Grace will debut online.

The series follows Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon from 11.22.63), a poor, young Irish immigrant and domestic servant in Upper Canada who, along with stable hand James McDermott (Kerr Logan), was convicted of the brutal murders of their employer, Thomas Kinnear, and his housekeeper, Nancy Montgomery (Anna Paquin from True Blood), in 1843. James was hanged while Grace was sentenced to life imprisonment. Grace became one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of 1840s Canada for her supposed role in the sensational double murder, and was eventually exonerated after 30 years in jail. Her conviction was controversial, and sparked much debate about whether Grace was actually involved in the murder, or merely an unwitting accessory.

The series also stars Paul Gross (Due South), Zachary Levi (Chuck), Rebecca Liddiard (Houdini and Doyle) and Edward Holcroft (Kingsman movies).

Here is a trailer for Alias Grace:
