Compare And Contrast Shauna And Leier

Superior Essays
Although I have not read the beloved book upon which this film is based, I have been greatly anticipating this film for quite some time. After seeing part one, I naturally want to cast every other book aside and hunker down and read the entire book from cover to cover. I expected this to be decent, but it was beyond that. While I cannot speak to whether this version is faithful to the book, I can guarantee that this on all counts, this film will not disappoint.

One other thing to note--the cast for this film is pretty massive for a Hallmark film. I am going to do my best to feature as many of the cast members as I can, but I do apologize in advance for any I overlook.

Had it not been for all the promotion work I did this summer and fall for The Time is Right (a science fiction television series still in the works), I would not know who this ravishing lady is. Finally, I got to see her ability displayed on film, and she is none other than Nicole G. Leier. Although her role is somewhat small as Shauna, her striking features and command of a scene will capture the viewers' attention. I was pleased to see her, and I can only say that I hope to see more of her in the future as she is not an actress to be forgotten.

Another honorable mention goes to Natasha Burnett, one who has few credits to

As Charlie and Donna, Ted and Faith deliver a striking performance that is so impeccable as this caliber is rarely seen in television films (or even on the big screen) today. Within the fist five minutes of the film, this couple had me in tears (remember, I didn't know the story beforehand). My soul was touched by the matchless depiction of this couple who turn tragedy into hope and inspire so many other lives in the process. With this couple, it the stable and rare beauty of a marital relationship based on trust, selflessness, and compassion that propels the story to its stirring

    Hallmark 's Cedar Cove will always hold a distinctive place in my heart for a variety of reasons, and I will admit that Teryl Rothery is one of them. I was introduced to this exquisite actress through that show, and I can still remember sitting there in my chair watching her portrayal of Grace. I so identified with her character, and once I began to research Teryl 's career, I was awestruck with her versatility and extensive range of her abilities that she has had the opportunity to demonstrate over the course of her impressive career. Recently, Teryl graciously agreed to answer a few questions about her chosen profession as well as her notable (and current) sci-fi and Hallmark works. teryl-rothery-hallmark-channel-2015-winter-tca-party_1.jpg…

    Stephen King's Pet Sematary is a film that makes me conflicted about not having read the book. Which is odd given the author, but that's how it goes. Pet Sematary is a film that I remember well as a kid, it along with, well, IT, but also Carrie, The Shining and a host of other King adaptations were required viewing in my household. Most of the novels that these film's are based on were read to my brother and I as kids. You know, when other kids were being read Dr. Seuss, not that I'm complaining.…

The reason why I say shockingly is because I never read books and when I do, I rarely like them. After we read the book we watched the movie, and I thought that it was a real disappointment.…

    It seems an unfair view to expect a movie about a book to be exactly the same down to every single detail. Communities of fans will always find something wrong with a story, for it has “failed” to match expectation. Books are a place where someone can be dragged into the story and forget about everything else for a short while. Movies do the exact same thing, except it is seen as an easier way than books for a lot of people. Ignoring obvious differences (such as the fact that one is in picture form, and the other is in words), movies and books may not be so different after all.…
