Check out the Lifetime Uncorked Podcast here!
Deadly Excursion (or Paradise Prey)
Premieres: Feb 1st, 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime
Stars: Samaire Armstrong, Callard Harris, Alexandria DeBerry, Corin Nemec, Jonathan Bouvier
Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
A mother and daughter on spring break book a boat cruise with a disreputable captain, who secretly intends to kidnap the mother, and get rid of the daughter, burying her alive.
Thoughts
I watched the preview trailer and wasn’t impressed. Pretty blond girls running around in bikini tops? Not for me. (Obviously.) “Put a Cork in It”
Valentine at the Vineyard
Premieres: Feb 2nd, 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel
Stars: Rachael Leigh Cook & Brendan Penny
Synopsis (Via Hallmark)
Back for the third installment, Frankie and Nate manage life on the vineyard and plan a wedding in secret.
Thoughts
I didn’t care about the Autumn at the Vineyard, Summer at the Vineyard, or any holiday at the vineyard. I care about wine but not vineyards. Here is a preview, if you do happen to care about the vineyard. “Put a Cork in It.”
Death of a Cheerleader
Premieres: Feb 2nd, 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime
Stars: Kellie Martin, Aubrey Peeples, Sarah Dugdale
Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
In a remake of the cult-classic, “Death of a Cheerleader” is inspired by Randall Sullivan’s Rolling Stone article of the same name about the real-life murder of a popular, affluent and beautiful Northern California high school cheerleader at the hand of a classmate. Bridget Moretti (Aubrey Peeples) is a shy outsider from a lower middle-class background who aspires to be beautiful, popular and perfect in everything. Believing that a friendship with rich and pretty Kelly Locke (Sarah Dugdale), leader of the school’s most prestigious clique, will get her all that she desires, Bridget tries to forge a friendship with her. When Kelly rejects Bridget’s attempts, it leaves her humiliated and feeling like a failure and ultimately fuels a jealous rage that will lead to murder. Death of a Cheerleader explores the events leading up to and after the shocking crime that took place in this upper-middle class community.
Kellie Martin, who starred alongside Tori Spelling in the original, plays the FBI agent who cracks the case.
Thoughts
My nostalgia says “Pour it up immediately” especially with Kellie Martin returning. However, the preview looks pretty lame and maybe this story should stay in the past. Plus no Tori Spelling?!?!? “Let it Breathe”
The Story of Us
Premieres: Feb 9th, 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel
Stars: Maggie Lawson and Sam Page.
Synopsis (Via Hallmark)
Jamie learns that her first love Sawyer is the architect of a development that wants to change her beloved neighborhood and threatens her bookstore. Can old Valentines help them see eye to eye?
Thoughts
I love Maggie Lawson and Sam Page. I would totally be down for watching this attractive couple find a happy ending. “Pour it Up”
Victoria Gotti: My Father’s Daughter
Premieres: Feb 9th, 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime
Stars: Chelsea Frei and Maurice Benard.
Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
Executive produced by Victoria Gotti herself, the movie takes us deep into the world of what it was really like to grow up as the daughter of mob boss John Gotti, revealing the glamour, glitz and unique hardships of her world. Sharing never-before-revealed stories about her life, Victoria (Chelsea Frei) tells of a sensitive child growing up with a beloved father (Maurice Benard) she worried about constantly; the tragedy of her younger brother’s death; and her turbulent romance, forbidden by her father, with the man who later became her husband. Victoria had a front-row seat to a life the world became fascinated with, all while trying to reconcile the loving father she adored with a man the outside world was determined to bring down.
Thoughts
I’m suspicious of Victoria Gotti being the executive producer, can we say BIAS? Victoria Gotti had a reality show and was even on RHONJ. Plus it has Sonny Corinthos from General Hospital, so I think I gotta. “Pour it Up”.

Thoughts
Did this movies premiere get pushed back? Not a good sign. “Put a cork in it.”

He discovers her kitchen skills and soon she’s immersed in the competition and a budding romance develops.
Thoughts
I love Lacey, but she has let me down SO MANY TIMES. Pride, Prejudice, and Mistletoe was the last straw For self care reasons, I’m going to have to “Put a Cork in It.”

Covering her lasting power across more than five decades in one of the world’s toughest industries, the film delves into both Olivia’s public persona as well as the private woman behind-the-scenes, including her multiple battles with cancer and her intense fight to survive.
Thoughts
I’m not the biggest fan of bio pics. (Especially when they are on Lifetime.. Looking at you Britney Ever After.) This seems to be produced by a non-Lifetime production company so it could be good. “Let it Breathe”

Thoughts
I can’t get over Autumn’s short hair! This movie seems cute and I like the leading man is kind of chubby. “Pour it Up”
