Happy to see Hallmark is getting back into doing a Halloween movie again!!! :D It's been years since they last did, as they started their Christmas movies even earlier to start in late October and then cancelled "Good Witch". This time the movie involves a ghost from the 1920s trying to help out the real estate agent who's trying to sell her former house find love. It weirdly reminds me of the comedy series "Ghosts" and it's got Chris McNally from "When Calls the Heart" as the love interest and his real life wife Julie Gonzalo in it too so of course I'm watching. LOL

Happy 60 Birthday to Tim Guinee. 

Legendary Actor Angela Lansbury Dies at 96 NBC Bay Area

Angela Lansbury, the big-eyed, scene-stealing British actress who kicked up her heels within the Broadway musicals “Mame” and “Gypsy” and solved infinite murders as crime novelist Jessica Fletcher within the long-running TV collection “Homicide, She Wrote,” has died. She was 96. Lansbury died Tuesday at her house in Los Angeles, based on an announcement from her three kids. She died 5 days shy of her 97th birthday. Lansbury gained 5 Tony Awards for her Broadway performances and a lifetime achievement award. She earned Academy Award nominations as supporting actress for 2 of her first three movies, “Gaslight” (1945) and “The Image of Dorian Grey” (1946), and was nominated once more in 1962 for “The Manchurian Candidate” and her lethal portrayal of a Communist agent and the title character’s mom. In Memoriam: Folks We have Misplaced in 2022 Her mature demeanor prompted producers to solid her a lot older than her precise age. In 1948, when she was 23, her hair was streaked with grey so she may play a fortyish newspaper writer with a yen for Spencer Tracy in “State of the Union.” Her stardom got here in center age when she grew to become the hit of the New York theater, profitable Tony Awards for “Mame” (1966), “Pricey World” (1969), “Gypsy” (1975) and “Sweeney Todd” (1979). She was again on Broadway and obtained one other Tony nomination in 2007 in Terrence McNally’s “Deuce,” taking part in a scrappy, brash former tennis star, reflecting with one other ex-star as she watches a modern-day match from the stands. In 2009 she collected her fifth Tony, for finest featured actress in a revival of Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” and in 2015 gained an Olivier Award within the position. However Lansbury’s widest fame started in 1984 when she launched “Homicide, She Wrote” on CBS. Based mostly loosely on Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple tales, the collection centered on Jessica Fletcher, a middle-aged widow and former substitute faculty trainer residing within the seaside village of Cabot Cove, Maine. She had achieved discover as a thriller novelist and newbie sleuth. The actress discovered the primary collection season exhausting. “I used to be shocked after I realized that needed to work 12-15 hours a day, relentlessly, day in, time out,” she recalled. “I needed to lay down the legislation at one level and say `Look, I can’t do these reveals in seven days; it should be eight days.‘” CBS and the manufacturing firm, Common Studio, agreed, particularly since “Homicide, She Wrote” had turn into a Sunday evening hit. Regardless of the lengthy days — she left her house at Brentwood in West Los Angeles at 6 a.m. and returned after darkish — and reams of dialogue to memorize, Lansbury maintained a gradual tempo. She was happy that Jessica Fletcher served as an inspiration for older girls. “Girls in movement footage have all the time had a troublesome time being position fashions for different girls,” she noticed. “They’ve all the time been thought-about glamorous of their jobs.” COZI TV will run a “Homicide She Wrote” marathon from Wednesday by Saturday, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Supply hyperlink Originally published at SF Newsvine

Winchester '73 (Anthony Mann, 1950) Cast: James Stewart, Shelley Winters, Dan Duryea, Stephen McNally, Millard Mitchell, Charles Drake, John McIntire, Will Geer, Jay C. Flippen, Rock Hudson, John Alexander, Steve Brodie, James Millican, Abner Biberman, Tony Curtis, James Best. Screenplay: Robert L. Richards, Borden Chase, based on a story by Stuart N. Lake. Cinematography: William H. Daniels. Art direction: Bernard Herzbrun, Nathan Juran. Film editing: Edward Curtiss. Winchester '73 fetishes the titular firearm as if it were Excalibur or the Shield of Achilles. Which is all to the point if you're mythmaking, as this film, the first of a series of five movies on which James Stewart collaborated with director Anthony Mann, distinctly is. It's not only a contribution to the myth of the American West, but its central conflict is based on the story of Cain and Abel, with a touch of Oedipus thrown in. Sibling rivalry -- I almost wrote "sibling riflery" -- never got hotter. This is the only one of the Stewart-Mann Westerns that wasn't made in color, but it hardly matters: William H. Daniels photographs the high desert country of Arizona as lovingly as he ever filmed Greta Garbo. The film also holds a place in Hollywood movie history because of the deal Stewart's agent made guaranteeing the actor a percentage of the profits -- a step toward the disintegration of the studio system that would accelerate through the 1950s. But it might also be noted that the studios still held some power: Two up-and-coming Universal contract players, Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis, both have small roles in the film, the former in war paint and a fake nose as the Indian chief Young Bull, the latter in a bit part as a cavalryman who admires the rifle on which the plot centers. Winchester '73 is one of the great Westerns not because it questions the myths (and the clichés, such as Shelley Winters's "dance hall girl" with a heart as gold as her hair) on which the genre is founded, but because it so wholeheartedly accepts and integrates them into a well-paced and entertaining movie.

My career aspirations have changed throughout my life. They have even changed from the beginning of studies till now, they have also changed during my internship. My studies and time during my internship have helped worked out what I enjoy most in my life and the skills that I am good at. From the start of my studies my main goal was to become a player agent, but that has changed over the years. To in the last year, I wasn’t sure what my career aspirations were. The internship has helped me shape my aspirations and goals for my career.

I have learnt throughout my experiences in the internship that I did not enjoy being stuck inside as much, within an office setting. I could tell that I would much prefer being outside and working. Although I have learnt and developed new skills that will help me in future career. I have developed more professional skills and how to operate within an organisation that has clients. From how to send emails and communicate with each other staff members. This has also allowed me to add new skills onto my CV which I can use for any future jobs. I have learnt how to use different computer programs and also taught myself, such as video editing and producing work online.

Pitch Deck I produced online (Carter, 2022)

Goal setting is important as it helps you to achieve a task, but it also helps with motivating you to reach that goal (Martin et al., 2016). Although goal setting is important, I have not really set any in place as I am still unsure. My main career goals at the moment is to move into turf management. I want to do turf management as it is outside and seems like a career I would enjoy. My plan is do a course in 2023 that will help me move on in that career. At the moment I’m not looking to far ahead into the future as I am still uncertain on what I what my main career to be.
