Jesse Stone on GetTV

#1 Post by Mrs. Higgins »

Just got an email from GetTV:

Friday Night at the Movies - JESSE STONE
Tomorrow night we have a double feature of fan favorite Tom Selleck in his popular mystery series - Jesse Stone: Night Passage and Jesse Stone: Stone Cold.

Based on a series of detective novels from Robert B. Parker, Selleck plays the main character Jesse Stone to perfection in these made-for-television movies. Stone is a former minor league baseball shortstop whose career was cut short due to injury and becomes a successful homicide detective for the LAPD. However, he is an alcoholic and eventually loses his job because of it. Ironically, that same issue actually gets him the job as Police Chief in a small Massachusetts town because corrupt civic leaders think he'll be easy to control. They vastly underestimate Stone who quickly discovers the small town has big problems that include the mob and multiple homicides.

Our first movie of the night is Jesse Stone: Night Passage where we catch up with Stone after his move to Massachusetts. Still troubled both professionally and personally, the Police Chief takes on the high-profile case of solving the murder of his predecessor. 

Then in Jesse Stone: Stone Cold, Chief of Police Stone must track down a pair of serial killers and lead a rape investigation while trying to recover from his alcoholism. The talented Viola Davis co-stars in both of these movies alongside Selleck as Officer Molly Crane.

Thanks for the info! Stone Cold was the first Jesse Stone movie, released in 2005! I can't believe it's been over 11 yrs, where does the time go! It's the movie where he gets Reggie! The second movie, Night Passage(actually, the first in the story line), starts with him and his dog Boomer, driving from L.A. to Paradise, to interview for the job! Loved those movies from the start! Tom Selleck is great! Me, being a pet owner, who takes his dog(Bella) with him everywhere, loves his dog(s) in the story lines!
