Reba McEntire’s The Hammer (2023 Lifetime)
premiereS January 7th at 8/7c on Lifetime
📺. Stream/Watch the Trailer: https://youtu.be/jP7MudaCsx0
Cast: Reba McEntire, Melissa Peterman, Rex Linn, Matty Finochio
Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
Reba McEntire’s The Hammer follows Kim Wheeler (McEntire), an outspoken, firecracker lawyer who is appointed Judge of the 5th District of Nevada and is one of the few traveling judges left in America. After the reigning judge passes away under suspicious circumstances, Kim finds herself covering a circuit that stretches between Las Vegas and Reno — a rugged, often desolate area where anything and everything can happen. With gavel in hand, she lays down the law with a no-nonsense brand of justice, that quickly earns her the nickname “The Hammer.”
As the investigation of the former judge’s death heats up, Kim’s sister Kris (Melissa Peterman), who runs the local brothel, suddenly becomes the prime suspect, and Kim must work even harder to make certain the appropriate justice is served.
The film also stars Rex Linn as Bart Crawford, a mysterious cowboy with unknown motives and Kay Shioma Metchie as Vicky, the tough talking bailiff who serves as Kim’s right hand and trusted friend. #TheHammer
My Thoughts
This is the second movie in a two-picture deal with REBA and Lifetime. The first movie was 2021’s Christmas In Tune. (Which played to REBA’s strengths: Singing and Comedy.) This movie seems to be an obvious backdoor pilot for some type of series on the network or possibly to build out content for the streaming network Lifetime Movie Club. (Which is in need of some original content.)
For now, based on nothing but good will for REBA, I will Pour It Up for this movie! I’m excited.
How To Murder Your Husband: The Nancy Brophy Story (2023 Lifetime)
premiereS January 14th at 8/7c on Lifetime
📺. Stream/Watch the Trailer: https://youtu.be/jP7MudaCsx0
Cast: Cybill Shepherd, Steve Guttenberg,
Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
Shepherd is set to star as Nancy Crampton-Brophy, a romance-thriller novelist and author of the essay How to Murder Your Husband, who was convicted of killing her husband, Daniel, played by Steve Guttenberg. This marks Shepherd’s return to Lifetime, having previously starred in The Client List and guest starred on Drop Dead Diva.
Based on a true story, Nancy Crampton-Brophy (Shepherd), seemed to have a knack for writing about murder. The Portland-based romance-thriller novelist authored books about relationships that were tumultuous, while using seductive men on the covers to lure in her readers. Often, her books featured women protagonists who fantasized about killing their own husbands or fleeing their husbands and faking their own deaths. And then, in 2022 in a shocking turn of events, Brophy was convicted of killing her own husband.
How to Murder Your Husband: The Nancy Brophy Story is produced by Front Street Pictures and is being distributed by Sony Pictures Television. Judith Verno through Peace Out Productions serves as executive producer. Stephen Tolkin directs from a script which he penned.
My Thoughts
Lifetime is coming in HOT with the Ripped From the Headlines movies in 2023. I hadn’t heard of this case before, but from what I’ve read about this woman knew how to get away with murder (See creating an untraceable gun from a 3D printer kit), expect for literally writing and essay entitled “How to Murder Your Husband.”
Add to that two Hollywood vets Cybill Shepherd and Steve freakin Guttenburg making his Lifetime Movie debut. It is definitely a Pour It Up!
Bad Behind Bars: Jodi Arias (2023 Lifetime)
premiereS January 21st at 8/7c on Lifetime
📺. Stream/Watch the Trailer: COMING SOON
Cast: Celina Sinden, Tricia Black, Lynn Rafferty
Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
In this follow-up to one of Lifetime’s most successful true crime movies, Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret, we will see a whole new side of the infamous murderess and the story that has captivated the world for nearly a decade. Celina Sinden stars in the new movie, Bad Behind Bars: Jodi Arias as Jodi, who has just been arrested and sent to prison while she awaits trial for murdering her boyfriend, Travis Alexander. When she arrived in jail, Jodi charms her way through prison and befriends a couple, Donavan Bering and Tracy Brown. The three inmates became inseparable, Donovan and Tracy doing anything and everything Jodi asked — even letting the murderess tattoo her name on one of them. Donovan was released from prison as Jodi’s trial drew near and agreed to be Jodi’s mouthpiece, posting on her social pages and defending her friend to the world. But when the details of the case and Jodi’s story were no longer adding up and Donovan refused to continue to do her former friend’s bidding, Jodi’s vengeful side emerged.
Bad Behind Bars: Jodi Arias is produced for Lifetime by Cineflix Productions. Jeff Vanderwal (Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey, I Was Lorena Bobbitt), J.C. Mills (Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy, Summer Qamp), Sherri Rufh (Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey, I Was Lorena Bobbitt), Peter Emerson (Tehran, Reginald the Vampire), Andy Streitfeld, and Kim Clemons are the executive producers. Kim Barker (License to Wed, All About Steve) wrote the script in which Rama Rau (Honey Bee, League of Exotique Dancers) directed. Tracy Brown and Donovan Bering serve as consultants on the movie.
My Thoughts
Lifetime isn’t the best at sequels, except for anything Kelly Rowland does with Liddle Franchise, so this Jodi Arias movie is at a disadvantage. We don’t even get the original actress who originated the role of Jodi on Lifetime, Tania Raymonde. This is a huge loss for the movie because Raymonde was excellent in the role.
I will wait to make my final judgement, but from the press photos this doesn’t look good. Also, can we just leave Jodi Arias in jail where she belongs? I mean I don’t care what her life in jail is like, I just want her to stay there for the brutal murder of Travis Alexander. We will see when the trailer drops. Put a Cork In It.
Hoax: The Kidnapping of Sherri Papini or Sherri Papini: I Kidnapped Myself (2023 Lifetime)
premiereS January 28th at 8/7c on Lifetime
📺. Stream/Watch the Trailer: COMING SOON
Cast: Jaime King, Matt Hamilton,
Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
Jaime King stars as Sherri Papini in the film about the nation-wide, shocking story of a young mother of two, who disappears while jogging near her home, leading to national headlines as concerned citizens searched for her whereabouts. When she reappeared three weeks later on Thanksgiving Day, Sherri claimed she was abducted by two Hispanic women who chained and repeatedly abused her. While Sherri’s return was celebrated, the state never stopped searching for her kidnappers. Four years later, Sherri’s world came crashing down as evidence revealed her kidnapping was all a hoax perpetrated by Sherri herself to spend time with her ex-boyfriend. Sherri was arrested and ultimately sentenced to 18 months in prison for lying to federal agents, creating hysteria in the community and wasting police time and funding with her nearly successful, elaborate scheme. Matt Hamilton (Girl in Room 13) stars as Sherri’s devoted husband, Keith.
Jaime King made her debut in Daniel Waters’ Happy Campers, which premiered at The Sundance Film Festival. Some of her film credits include Blow, Pearl Harbor, White Chicks, Sin City, Two for the Money and The Spirit, to name a few. She was a series regular on show Hart of Dixie for four seasons and can currently be seen in the critically acclaimed series, Black Summer on Netflix and Out of Death on Hulu.
Hoax: The Kidnapping of Sherri Papini is written by Katie Boland is executive produced by Tim Johnson, Stacy Mandelberg and Jocelyn Freid and directed by Marta Borowski.
