The Alienist

Daniel Bruhl (Inglorious Bastards) is the doctor searching for a child serial killer in the 1800s in New York. Dakota Fanning (Taken) is the young female police officer trying to deal with single life and life in a man's job.  Luke Evans (Beauty & the Beast) is doing the most amazing job in his role. He is the most like his character in the book. Simply amazing! There are a few things that seem a little unlike the book, but it's not at all bad. All in all, I say: READ IT and the SEE IT on TNT.

One Winter Weekend

IMDb writes, "A recently dumped travel writer goes on a ski getaway with her best friend and they find themselves double booked with two eligible men. When they are snowed in, love ensues, as it always does". It's a Hallmark movie so you know the plot. It's not bad, but kind of awkward in the middle. Taylor Cole (The Originals) does a good job. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Non-Transferable

A young travel blogger plans the perfect European trip and is excited to share with her boyfriend whom she believes will propose to her on the trip. He breaks up with her, so she goes in search of someone with his same name to take all his tickets - which she can't get the money back for. They travel together and fall in love. Everything was going good for me - it was really well done for a low budget independent film - until the end. The ending was horrible - it was just confusing and all mixed up. All in all, I say: SKIP IT

Hello I Must be Going

Melanie Lynsky (Sunshine) is a divorced woman - her husband decided to marry his mistress - she never knew he was unhappy.  While staying with her parents she meets and falls for a younger man, Christopher Abbott (The Sinner). Because of the age difference they decide it's not really love. She moves on to live her life the way she wants and he os left to get his shot together. I hated the ending - I felt like it really was love and they could have found themselves together. All in all, I say: SKIP IT

Anne of Green Gables: The Good Stars

PBS continues the tale in the sequel. Martin Sheen (West Wing) does a good job. The girl who plays Anne Shirley is nothing like the original and favorite, but not bad. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Frozen In Love

IMDb writes, "Bad boy hockey player Adam and struggling book-store owner Mary must work together to help rehabilitate each other's image. Their mutual animosity, and attraction, sees them struggle to achieve their goal.". I like Rachael Leigh Cook (Robot Chicken) and I like Niall Matter (Eureka), but the editing and flow of this movie was off. It got kind of annoying and honestly felt unrealistic - well, more unrealistic than usual. All in all, I say: SKIP IT

Past Malice: An Emma Fielding Mystery

IMDb writes, "Archaeologist Emma Fielding is hired to consult on the acquisition of a castle-like estate that local legend states is cursed. But she finds herself in the middle of a murder case after discovering the body of the archaeologist she was hired to shadow in a secret chamber in the bowels of the huge building. Assisted by her friend, FBI special agent Jim Conner, Fielding must sift through clues and a long list of suspects, each of whom has their own reason for wanting the man dead, to determine who is the killer.". Courtney Thorne-Smith (Fresh Off the Boat) does an ok job with the script she's given. She isn't 100% believable, but she tries. James Tupper (American Woman) is well, himself. I think that's the only way he can act...to act as himself. They are terribly exciting mysteries. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
