Watched Northern Lights again…

Though I’m not totally sure why I did it.  Call me a glutton for punishment.  I just can’t help watching a Nora book-into-movie.  The thing is I thought LeAnne Rimes stunk.  She is pretty enough, but the acting wasn’t that great.  And frankly, I kept waiting for her to break into song.  But the hero is cute and I like the story well enough.  Too bad someone besides these B rated stars won’t agree to take less money and REALLY bring the characters to life.  Oh, well.  Here’s to hoping the next ones are better…and that there will be more!

Watched Sanctuary on LifetimeTV again…

While I’m still not a huge fan of Melissa Gilbert, I did enjoy watching the movie again.  It is in no way better than the book.  But it’s a nice visualization for the book. :-)

I’m wondering if anyone else has a hard time seeing anyone else in some of these roles after you get a picture of the character in your head.  It drives me crazy, but it happens with all books turned to movies.

Legend has it that the house is haunted, and shortly after Declan moves in he starts hearing voices and seeing things. Declan is also distracted by an undeniable attraction to Cajun local Lena Simone, who grew up on the bayou with her grandmother Odette and has her own deep connection to the manor. Living in the house, Declan begins to have visions from a century past and details of events that took place in the mansion. With the help of Odette, Declan and Lena realize that they are inextricably linked with Manet Hall and uncover a shocking secret that has been hidden there for more than 100 years.
