The Way to You: Movie Review



Hallmark is at its best when it just takes two regular people and give them normal interests and hobbies and just let the characters get to know each other. Such is the case with The Way to You where Emma is a fine arts gallerist who does pottery to relax at home and Conrad is in finance with an interest in classic literature and goes running every morning for fun.   2026

Directed by: Norma Bailey

Screenplay by: Nicole Baxter

Starring: Kim Matula, Aaron O'Connell

Soul's Road: Movie Review




A simple, familiar story with lovely characters and music.
A story about redemption, about making amends while still reaching for your dream, Soul’s Road is a simple, but lovely, movie featuring well-worn characters and some good music. It also happens to be a Canadian independent film and now is a great time to support the Canadian indie film industry. While the story does get very simple and the film can be unpolished at times, it’s still an easy movie to watch, to lose yourself for a couple hours.   2025

Directed by: Joel Stewart

Screenplay by: John K. MacDonald

Starring: Dallas Smith, Camille Stopps, Charlie Gillespie, Josh Collins

F Valentine's Day: Movie Review




A funny but predictable romantic comedy.
With that title, you’re probably not expecting a typical romantic comedy. And there are various times during the movie where it looks like it might become unexpected but never ends up veering off course. However, typical romantic comedies can still be enjoyable especially when you have a cast like this one. Virginia Gardner is a fresh of breath air as the heroine Gina.   2026

Directed by: Mark Gantt

Screenplay by: Steve Bencich

Starring: Virginia Gardner, Skylar Astin,
Jake Cannavale, and Marisa Tomei
