DVD

The Driftless Area starring Anton Yelchin, Zooey Deschanel.Guy meets mysterious woman and things happen. I just read the 2006 novel this is based off and I enjoyed the book quite a bit.


When Calls the Heart starring Erin Krakow, Lori Loughlin, others. Some sort of romance-y thing with a Canadian Mountie and women with nice hair. Several films based off Janette Oke stories. Oke was hugely popular at the public library I worked at in KS 20 years ago. I'm not sure if Canadians were hugely popular. Or Mounties.
