• It would be a spoiler to describe it here, but that scene is near the end of the remarkable "Nashville" by Robert Altman and the buildup to it must take a full two hours. The impact is astonishing. Here, things also build for over an hour, and it also is a shapeshifter. So well directed and acted.

    My first Hallmark movie, as I was clicking around downstream of the HBO and Showtime channels and happened on the pretty funny falling-into-his-arms thing so I caught the whole thing later. Pretty good. The jokes are fast and furious. And as always Vancouver was looking magnetic.
