Hannah’s trial is coming up, and she’s hoping to finally have the entire things behind her. Instead, she finds another dead body, this time the judge who was supposed to preside over her trial. With her name once again on the suspect list, Hannah must find the real killer.

While it is always fun to check in with these characters, I do enjoy a good mystery. Sadly, the mystery took a back seat to other things happening. Too many scenes were devoted to cooking. On the other hand, there is significant progress on the love triangle. And really, I do love these characters.

A beautiful documentary series
Let's face it, you really can't go wrong with a David Attenborough documentary series. He's never made anything less than brilliant, and this Dynasties series is no exception.

Focusing each episode on a different species, the crew have really gone all out on the cinematography to make a truly stunning series. They've spent years filming each set of animals to give you an insight into their lives, which is fairly heartbreaking at times as they don't leave anything out, not even the sadder realities of animal life. My favourites out of the series were definitely the tigers and penguins, shining an informative look into how they bring up their young.

I loved as well how they include a brief behind the scenes segment at the end of each episode, getting to see a little more truth behind the documentary. And it's nice to see how dedicated the crew are to their work and that sometimes human intervention isn't actually a bad thing.

The series also highlights important points about the environment and conservation, and I really hope more people would watch this and get an understanding of the effects we're having on wildlife.

Holiday Inn is one of my favorite holiday films, and, in my opinion, infinitely better than White Christmas. Holiday Inn is the film that the song 'White Christmas' first appeared in. One of the reasons that Holiday Inn might not be as popular is there is a song/scene that's considered to be politically incorrect, and when the film is aired on television, it's taken out. When that song/scene is taken out, the movie becomes slightly confusing.
It's also unique in that, at the end, it gives a behind the scenes look at how the film was made on a set, in the guise that they're filming a movie within a movie. Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire are completely amusing together, and really make the movie worthwhile.
