DVD Review - Wild Faith


*This is a sponsored review. All opinions are 100% mine.



I was sent the a DVD copy of Wild Faith (Not Rated; 101 mins; $19.98) several months ago from Mill Creek Entertainment. My originally intention was to write a review directly after I finished watching it but that I didn't occur. I did watch the movie but I had mixed feeling about the film. After rewatching it, I realized I just don't like the movie!

Wild Faith is a western drama written by DJ Perry and directed by Jesse Low. The cast is consisted of a bunch of unknowns, besides for country singer Trace Adkins who provides the narration. The plot involves a Civil War veteran who had made a promise to a dying black solider to bring his wife and daughter to his home in Michigan. Let's just say practically the entire town is against having blacks in their community and will do anything to get rid of them.

The movie is "Doved Approved" so in other words it's family friendly. It won "Best Faith Feature Film" at the Burbank International Film Festival.

Classic '80s Movies Now Available on Blu-ray!


*This is a sponsored review. All opinions are 100% mine.



If you're a physical media collector, then you are in luck as Mill Creek Entertainment has been releasing many 1980s films on Blu-rays with retro VHS-like slipcovers. Two of the more recent releases are Roxanne (PG; 107 mins; $14.98) and True Believer (R; 109 mins; $14.98).


Directed by Fred Schepis, Roxanne is the 1987 adaptation of the 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. The film stars Steven Martin as C.D. Bales, the fire chief of Nelson Washington, who just happens to have a x-large nose. Due to his allergy to anesthetics, he has never attempted to have a nose job so he just has to live with it.

After a beautiful astronomer, Roxanne (played by Daryl Hannah), arrives in town to study an approaching comet, he instantly falls in love with her. However, because he's sensitive about his nose, he never tells Roxanne how he feels about her and has to settle for being only friends. He later finds out Roxanne has a crush on firefighter Chris (played by Rick Rossovich). To make a long story short, C.D. writes a letter for Chris to give to Roxanne, which makes her fall in love with the dumbstruck Chris.

2020 Home Trends for Book Nerds!


*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are 100% mine.


2019 is nearly over and it's time for us "book nerds" to start thinking about what we are going to do with all of our books in 2020!

My dream is to one day own a big house just so I can have one room to be my personal library. Honestly, I'm getting sick and tired of searching through closets to find a specific book. It would be nice to have all of my books in one giant room!

Below I've put together my 5 favorite "Home Trends for Book Nerds"for 2020.



Steel Bookcases


Most book nerds have their books stored on the cheap laminated bookcases that you have either purchased at Walmart or Target. While these types of bookcases are an affordable option, they're poorly constructed and over time time the shelves will become warped due to the weight of the books. Steel bookcases are a better option. They're built to last longer and can withstand 90lbs of books per shelf! The only downside is the price for a 36" W x 12" D x 60" H  bookcase with 5 shelves can set you back over $200.


Comfy Reading Chairs


A library should be the quietest place in your home, a place where you can read peacefully, preferably with a cup of coffee handy. However, you need a really comfortable reading chair, but don't get one too comfy as you don't want to fall asleep while reading. So don't pick a chair that reclines!

Traditional libraries either have wooden or leather chairs, which the latter is the most comfortable but can be a bit pricey depending on the quality and brand. Nevertheless, leather chairs will look great in your library.


Lantern Roofs


Every home library needs solid lighting in order for you to read. Almost everyone uses some sort of lamp, mostly likely a floor one, but with bookshelves covering most of the library's walls, there's probably not enough room for too many electrical outlets. Putting LED lights in ceiling can work but the option can make the room dark in areas. Natural light is the best route to go, which can be achieved by adding a lantern roof. There are variety of lantern roofs styles so you need to pick the best one that suits your library.

Christmas Future
by Valerie Ipson


The future is always brighter at Christmas.

While Scarlett Ambrose works her PR magic landing Alaska on the nice Christmas spirit list, her wedding plans and a longing for Arizona's heat have to wait. But when the wait's too long will a warm-hearted doctor in town for his own reasons be just the prescription for lifting her cold, Scrooge-like spirit?
