Personal Narrative: An Uncommon Grace

“It’s about more than just the songs,” said Davis. “When you walk into a Hallmark store around the holidays, everything is Christmas - the carpet is Christmas, the window decorations are Christmas, it smells like Christmas candles and cookies. That’s the environment we try to create with our Christmas radio station.”

Ultimately the book was fantastic but the movie wasn’t as far as good in my personal opinion. It was one of the best books I’ve had ever read. At first it goes slow but as you get to know the characters and the plot you get addicted to the book and can’t stop reading in a good

In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since

Hallmark is one busy network. I started doing the Hallmark thing back when it wasn't cool, and now they've grown so much.

     The movie was surprisingly good, as it was well scripted and directed. I particularly enjoyed the scenery as well as the choice of actors. The beginning of the movie was drastically different from that in the book with Will being cast as a war captive in another country. Also different in the movie is the fact that in the beginning scenes Will finds out that his mother passed, and doesn’t make it to Medicine River in time for her funeral. With all of the alterations that were made in the script, I found it an interesting and nice addition when Harlen persuaded Will to hire ex-convict Clyde Whiteman as an assistant in his photography studio. The only change which I was not particularly fond of was the addition of Will’s boss Ellen. Particularly, her persistence to continue in their affair, despite Will’s disinterest. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. However, I was thrown off guard by the order in which

This movie was pleasantly surprising. It was an enjoyable watch and told a story that kept the plot line and details close to the real history of the Sioux Indians’ lives, starting with The Battle at Little Big Horn.

3:10 to Yuma is an instant classic, a rarity among remakes. It seems as if most western movies nowadays are just boring and uninteresting. In an age where it is often so hard to gather good feedback on westerns, this movie is a

I really like the movie and the story was very different than any other movies. Sherman’s way of writing the stories seems very unique and could not tell what would happen next in the movie. When Victor knew about his father’s death I was thinking he would not go to Phoenix to get his remains since he had hatred towards him but he decides to go which was surprising. It was always funny how Thomas kept telling stories about different stuffs to Victor even though he knew Victor don’t like to hear them. The author has tried to show the culture of Indians, the thoughts of people, how they dealt their life through his stories which I really found interesting and something different to learn. The author has showed how life was back then and I liked the fact he tried to show what impact it can have to a child’s mind if he sees his father drinking alcohol and tormenting his mother

I must say I absolutely loved this western. I’m not exactly sure what the original version of the western looked like, but I loved how the writer really made it their own. I was immediately hooked from the very start with the opening “As he drew near the mass of tree shadows that edged out to the road, he heard the voice, the clear but hesitant sound of it coming unexpectedly in almost-dark stillness.” The characters, the rifle, the mystery surrounding the elusive Cliff and his whereabouts, and the intriguing cowboy language such as “You better light down.” The writer seemed to have been very familiar with westerns, maybe from watching old western movies because a lot of the language is outdated phrases like “astride the McClellen saddle” or

All and all, I would state one should read a history book about The West before watching Tombstone, because most movie western make lawmen and outlaws larger than life. Many people love Jesse James for his story, but he was still bank robber, and killed people. Such movies as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid also made the outlaws into heroes. One could say this is a great movie, because he ties in what we learned, and also gives us two major climaxes in the movie. Still today, Tombstone is still a successful movie.

I personally would very much want to see the film again. Absolutely it was such a great film. I mean in my opinion it wasn’t perfect but it was still a great movie and I would watch it again in a heartbeat .It had great examples of action and a great portrayal love.

I do not usually like these types of movies because they would be unlikely to occur but it was cool to see. I thought it was very interesting to see a space movie during the 1950s when movies did not really focus on that genre. I imagine that when the movie first came out, it was probably astonishing to see the special effects for that time period. For instance, Gort (the robot) had heat laser vison and had the power to destroy anything that got in his way. Also, the spaceship really looked authentic and made me feel like I was looking at something from outer space. It was insightful to see the lifestyle of the people in the 1950s because it is very different from our current time period.

You've done quite a few things for Hallmark since Appetite For Love. The Hearties are still wanting you to come back to When Calls the Heart.

I know you 're a Heartie and as you know, I am a Heartie too. So a few stayed and came to our Home & Family taping. There were a few others that came to that show too. We actually had our first meeting and started putting it together at the Home & Family taping. I 'm really excited. I was also able to introduce some of them to our executive producer Dan Paulson and also to Bill Abbott, who is the president and CEO of Crown Media. So we have their full blessing and I just think it 's wonderful. You know, it 's not just our show. We 're a network that has the heart of TV. Hallmark is really a network that embodies that. It 's not just our show and doesn 't just belong to the people who work behind the scenes--the cast and crew. It belongs to you guys too. You 're the ones who are creative, and you share it with others. You watch it with us and you interact with us. You tell us what you like and what you don 't like so we can fine-tune it. It 's a joint effort, and to me, that the most fun part about what I do. I love acting, but being able to share it and have it come full circle with the viewers and then get to know everybody is one of my favorite parts of what I do. It 's become a perfect dream of what I always hoped it would be.

Oh, yes, the movie came out so nicely. It was beautifully shot. It honors the military, and I play a NASCAR driver. Rather similar to The Perfect Catch. A sort of cocky racecar driver loses his edge in racing and goes back to his small town and finds love with a military widow..
