As I take over the site from AJ, there are a few changes I’ll be making.  The first is that I’ve added a new page dedicated to Nora’s Lifetime TV movies.  You can get to it using the menu link (which previously went to the blog category for it).  I’ve pulled the covers, star lists and descriptions.  Once I have another minute I plan to add some of my thoughts on the movies.  If you haven’t watched them, they are certainly worth a look.  Though be warned that they, like most books turned into movies, do have some flaws that the wonderful books they are based on do not.

So check it out if you have a minute and tell me what you think of my Lifetime Movies page.

And if you aren’t ready to buy the movies just yet, Lifetime will play them again (or some of them) in April, May and June.

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!

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.

The third Lifetime movie in the 2009 Nora Roberts collection is High Noon featuring Emile DeRaven! You’re going to want to watch this preview and set the DVR!
