Stranger in My Home

So today i had a Veronica Hamel movie session as i can’t get enough of her! Joe Penny does a great job in this movie. Playing the bad guy Joe gives another fantastic performance. Pretending to be the long lost brother Joe’s character spins the web at every turn. He has to do whatever he can to “protect” his new life and brings even more trouble as the story line goes on.

For anyone who is a Joe Penny fan, if you haven’t seen this one by all means watch it! Joe always does great no matter what character or story he is in and this is another one that speaks to his talent.

Home Invasion

This was a disappointing film, it wasn’t one of my favourite Veronica Hamel’s. It’s about a gang of armed criminals that burst into the home of a woman, taking her and the daughters of three of her friends hostage. There wasn’t any plot or story present at all.

Secrets

I was so excited when i purchased this hard to find Lifetime Movie and glad i watched it! It was different! Etta Berter is a doctor’s wife in 1905 who has been unable to have children. The couple has one adopted daughter but she has always wanted more children. Julie Harris’s character is the family’s cook and close companion to their daughter. Her granddaughter is the family’s maid.

When a visiting friend of Etta’s arrives for a visit both she and the maid are attracted to him. When he seems to prefer the younger woman (the maid) the other woman is very jealous and when the maid becomes pregnant by him the older woman vows to make that child her own.

A Child’s Cry for Help

Great Movie and Great acting all round!! One of my favourites with Pam Dawber and Veronica Hamel A recently widowed doctor moves with her daughter to start at a new hospital. While there a loving mother brings her son in for treatment. The doctor suspects that there is something wrong, and theorizes that the mother is deliberately making her son sick so that she could bring him to the hospital for the attention that it gives her.

When the doctor decides to restrict the mother’s access to her son and is reporting her to child services, the mother in turn decides to sue the doctor and the hospital. And some of the hospital board don’t agree with her diagnosis or think that she’s over-reacting. And even while the mother’s not allowed access to her son, he is still sick, so is the doctor right or wrong?

Stop At Nothing

A woman believes that her husband is molesting their daughter. Unfortunately she can’t prove it, so when the courts grant him custody, she is approached by a woman who went through the same thing and unfortunately was not able to help her child. She offers to help her get her daughter and help them disappear. However, her husband has hired a private investigator to find them and she is good. However, the investigator starts to wonder if her client is guilty or not.
