"Wildflower" DVD Review & Giveaway!! (4/20)

*Disclosure: The following DVD was provided to me in exchange for my honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.  All opinions are my own.

About Wildflower:
Creatively gifted, college student Chloe Moray (portrayed by Nathalia Ramos, known for BRATZ, Arrested Development, House of Anubis) finds solace from a difficult childhood in her extraordinary art. But when an alarming dream begins to recur nightly, Chloe starts to believe that it might be a suppressed memory and that she may have witnessed a terrible crime as a little girl. Her search for peace takes her on a journey that forces Chloe to confront her past traumas and leads her to cross paths with Josh (Cody Longo, known for NOT TODAY, Hollywood Heights, Nashville), a young man dealing with his own painful loss. Together they find in each other someone they can trust as they seek to unlock a cold-case mystery from years before. But with the authorities blocking the way, Chloe's new-found hope is challenged in this powerful story of faith, triumph and healing.

**WILDFLOWER will be available on DVD and VOD April 5th, 2016 and airing on Lifetime Movie Network in June.  

Take a look at the trailer:

My Review:
Wildflower draws the viewer in from the beginning and keeps you guessing right up until the very end.  Not only is it suspenseful, but it's also moving and just an all-around entertaining movie to watch.  While it may not be the most family-friendly, there are very few moments that are too intense.

The entertainment aspect is definitely a strong positive element of this film, but so it the faith component.  It shows how opening up and trusting can lead to healing...not only for one character, but several. It really shows how God works in mysterious ways!

A great film that I can see everyone enjoying.  I highly recommend purchasing a copy of Wildflower!

Buy It!
Wildflower can be purchased on amazon.com for $14.98.

"Noble" DVD Review

*Disclosure:  I was provided the following DVD in exchange for my honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.  All opinions are my own.

About Noble:
They broke everything but her spirit. They took everything but her dream. NOBLE, the award-winning feature film, is the incredible true story of a fearless Irish heroine driven by her daring vision to escape the slums of Ireland and risk everything on the streets of Vietnam.

Take a look at the trailer:

My Review:
Noble is an awesome film about an amazing woman's life.  For Christina Noble to go through all she did, more than any one person should have to experience in their life, and overcome it all is truly inspiring.  Not only does she overcome it, but also goes on to help children who suffered as she once did.  This movie pulls on your heart-strings and is one that, once watched, will never be forgotten.

I highly recommend this movie to all.  Go out and get a copy.  You'll be glad you did!

Buy It!
Noble can be purchased on amazon.com for $9.49!  (A steal for such a great film!)

"When Calls the Heart: It Begins With Heart" DVD Review

*Disclosure: I was provided the following DVD in exchange for my honest review.  I was not compensated in any other way.  All opinions are my own.

About "When Calls the Heart: It Begins With Heart":
In the days before the big New Year’s Eve celebration, Hope Valley sees some unpredictable resolutions. For instance, Abigail sets out to catch whoever’s been stealing from her kitchen: and finds herself in charge of two orphans in the process. Elizabeth resolves to take charge of Jack’s dog, Rip, in an attempt to remedy Rip’s apparent jealousy of their relationship. Rosemary is determined to win a San Francisco Herald essay contest about a "real frontier family",… and has to pose as Lee’s wife when a reporter from the paper shows up. And Bill Avery tries his best to convince Jack that he’s not the one who should be behind bars for counterfeiting. Meanwhile, two visitors in town ponder sticking around and causing trouble for both Jack and Pastor Frank!

My Review:
As the first DVD of Season 3, When Calls the Heart: It Begins With Heart starts off right where Season 2 left off.  I appreciated getting answers right away to the questions I had when Season 2 left us hanging.  It was good to see Elizabeth back in Hope Valley, teaching and working with the children again like in Season 1.  While the kids were in in Season 2 a bit, I missed the Elizabeth working through troubles that the kids and their families had.

This season looks like it's going to have the same elements that my family has loved all long in the When Calls the Heart series.  The mystery, drama, romance and all around family friendliness of the series are all things that make us adore the When Calls the Heart episodes so much.

When Calls the Heart: It Begins With Heart was a great kick-off for Season 3 and I can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for our viewing pleasure!

Buy It: 
When Calls the Heart: It Begins With Heart can be purchased on amazon.com for $9.39!  An awesome deal for such a great DVD!
