Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning (2008)
Pretend this one was never made. Not consistent with the the Wonderworks Production
Don't waste your time. Others had warned me not to bother, and I did not heed the warnings. This production is inconsistent with the Montgomery Books. Barbara Hershey is likely a miscast on top of a weak script. The production feels rushed with extremely awkward editing that has made the TV Movie hard to follow. Truly not worth watching, and will slightly ruin what you remember from the original WonderWorks Production. This version of Anne is depressing. They had a great character in Anne and turned her into that Lady in Black from The Natural. Not surprisingly, portrayed by the same actress. I didn't believe all the one star reviews, but I see clearly what everyone else has seen.
A Million Miles Away (2023)
Great Inspiring Biopic
In an attempt to not spoil the movie... Know that this movie for anyone, from any background, with any Dreams, is inspiring. Not only is it a great movie to follow the "Hero's Journey"... it gives credit to those who inspire, encourage, and sacrifice themselves for others. Proving, behind every great protagonist, there are many great people who help that Protagonist in their life-long Journey. Likely a film on a moderate budget, the story drives this movie, and elevates it to something greater than any re-make on the market. Refreshing for those tired of remakes. Definitely a film you can watch and rewatch many times over. Every cast member is Brilliant and brilliantly cast. As a movie fan, you can clearly see this Director poured their heart into this Film. I left the film wanting to thank all the people in my life who have allowed me to be who I am today... Whether it be your spouse, your parents, your cousin, your school teacher, etc... Give them a hug and thank them. For your colleagues you have lost, posthumously hug them too. Rarely do movies "Move" me. This one did.
