PLOT:

via UP Press Release:

In Angels in the Snow, the affluent, yet troubled Montgomery family hits the road for a special Christmas in the mountains. Workaholic real estate developer Charles (Chris Potter) hopes to mend fences with his wife Judith (Kristy Swanson), a former NY fashion editor, and reconnect with his cell-phone-dependent, squabbling children – Alexander (15, Nick Purcha), Jennifer (14, Lizzie Boys) and Emily (10, Jaeda Lily Miller) – by surprising them all with a getaway to unveil the ultra-modern, luxurious, fully-stocked cabin in the woods that he has designed and built. Sadly, his good intentions are quickly dashed when a powerful blizzard descends and traps the Montgomerys in their new “dream home.” With Judith and Charles arguing, little Emily makes a wish that her parents will stay together. Hours later, as fierce winds batter the cabin, a knock on the door jolts the family awake.

To their surprise, another family – the Tuckers – are shivering on their doorstep. While unhurt, they are half-frozen, exhausted and in need of shelter from the storm. Their van slid off the snow-covered road. High school history teacher Joe Tucker (Colin Lawrence), his wife/nurse Amy (Catherine Lough Haggquist), and their two kids Robbie (16, Kolton Stewart) and Lucie (15, Alexandra Siouras) are grateful to be welcomed in. As the families wait out the storm, it soon becomes evident that the Tuckers offer an example of love, togetherness and caring that is seemingly gone from the Montgomerys’ lives. But perhaps the Tuckers’ example – and friendship – can reignite the Montgomery family’s spirit this season.

My Thoughts on 'The Sound of Music'...

The story within the story of 'The Sound of Music' is powerful. My first remembrance of seeing 'The Sound of Music', I know I instantly fell in love with every single musical number, especially "Edelweiss", "Do-Re-Mi", and "So Long, Farewell". I also enjoyed the sweet love story developing between Captain Von Trapp and Maria, but what has truly captured my heart over the years, is the real underlying story, that is the most powerful force behind the entire film - the unfolding story of communism and the Nazis, whom the Von Trapp family must out-smart, in order to escape capture. Knowing it is based on the true story of the real Von Trapp family, makes the film, significantly more meaningful. I can't help from seeing parallels of this story re-occurring in our world today. 'The Sound of Music' is a grand cinema classic, that will surely be cherished for generations to come...

*There may be even more Nominees and Shows honored in the Movieguide Awards Program... so be sure to tune into the awards show Saturday, February 21st on Reelz-Channel at 7 P.M. Eastern 4 P.M. Pacific!


My take on the Nominees:

I was happy to see... nominations for "When Calls the Heart," from the Hallmark Channel, "Love Finds You in Sugarcreek, Ohio" and "Coffee Shop" from UP-tv.

However, I was surprised not to see... nominations for the actors of "When Calls the Heart", nor the TV Movie "The Redemption of Henry Myers", and "Paper Angels".

More than anything else, I was shocked not to see... the inspirational series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered", from the creator of "Touched by an Angel" Martha Williamson, not nominated in any of the categories. I personally think this was a terrible over-sight, of a most deserving series filled with everyday spiritual issues, divine providence, and a deep, abiding faith in their calling.

Now, What do you think of the Nominees? Which ones did you like? Which Movie or TV series, would you have nominated? Please share in the comments below...

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" returns this Summer!

*PLEASE NOTE: This POST has been Updated to reflect schedule changes!

It was originally posted, the next delivery of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered Movies" would be this spring... however it is now postmarked for a new delivery date: this Summer, June 14, 2015... on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! *Update: the NEW premiere date is June 6, 2015!

We #POstables don't mind this back-order date, now that we know a new "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is on the way... and we have our original "dead letter office" team back on the mission to deliver lost letters, and inspire us, too... along the way!

Rest assure, Eric Mabius returns as the leader of the pack (and packages) as Oliver O'Toole, Kristin Booth as Shane McInerney, Crystal Lowe as Rita Haywith, and Geoff Gustafson as Norman Dorman in two all new movies this summer. All are truly unique individuals and characters, and yet, with their varied remarkable skills, they make the best team!


Here's a video clip promo for "SSD", coming this Summer:

  via Hallmark Movies & Mysteries: Signed, Sealed, Delivered Movie's - Coming This Summer From Martha Williamson, the creative force behind "Touched By An Angel," comes the next chapter of “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.” Coming this summer, the Postables continue their journey to solve crimes, reunite old loves and deliver the truth. And... here's the latest SSD news - including details on Holly... via Hallmark Movies & Mysteries "Facebook": BIG Signed, Sealed, Delivered NEWS! Poppy Montgomery will guest star as "Holly", ‪#‎POstable‬ Oliver's (Eric Mabius) estranged wife in the next ALL NEW movie premiering June 14th! *NEW premiere date is June 6, 2015!

  

    I think it's wonderful to get a sneak-peek look at the new "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie... and, it's interesting to hear who will portray Holly, actress Poppy Montgomery, who is best known from her two television series: "Without a Trace" and "Unforgettable". Here is more news directly from a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Press Release:

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries announces Poppy Montgomery will guest star in a highly anticipated role in “Signed, Sealed, Delivered From Paris, With Love" (wt), a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Original premiering Sunday, June 14 at 9pm ET/PT, 8C. NEW premiere date is SATURDAY June 6, 2015!  

Montgomery plays Holly, the estranged wife of lead postal detective Oliver (Eric Mabius), who suddenly returns from Paris  the same day  he  and his Postables team, Shane (Kristin Booth), Rita (Crystal Lowe) and Norman (Geoff  Gustafson), deliver divorce papers to a happy couple. "Signed Sealed Delivered" continues its exploration of the mystery of love as three unique stories converge in its newest two-hour movie from Martha Williamson.  

  “We are beyond thrilled to have tremendously talented Poppy Montgomery guest star in ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered From Paris, With Love’ and we look forward to having her bring Martha Williamson’s vision to life,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Publicity for Crown Media Family Networks.

"Our loyal fans have waited a year and a half to meet Holly, and they're not going to be disappointed," said Series Creator and Executive Producer Martha Williamson.

Poppy Montgomery currently stars in the hit drama “Unforgettable” where she plays opposite Dylan Walsh, which has been recently renewed for a 13-episode season four by A&E.

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered From Paris, With Love" (wt) is the first of three "Signed Sealed Delivered" movies being produced for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

   Please Stay Tuned... as I'll be *TRACKING* more news on "Signed Sealed Delivered"... and I'll be sure to *DELIVER* ...when I *RECEIVE* it!

 Sincerely, Net   

P.S. If you have or haven't seen the first season of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"... you'll definitely want to order the DVD at Amazon... plus the absolutely amazing Christmas Movie, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered For Christmas" which first aired on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

  

P.S. S. A very special thank you to Lori & Ruth for sharing the "S.S.D." movie air date on Twitter!

"When Calls the Heart" Promo Videos for Season 2 and more!

The Hallmark Channel has released two lovely video promos for "When Calls The Heart" Season 2! I thought I would share both below, in case any of you haven't had the chance to view them, yet.

"When Calls the Heart" Season 2 Promos:



  The Premiere Date for "When Calls The Heart" is the day before Easter, April 4, 2015!  (*and the day after my birthday... Yay!*) WCTH will air in the 9 PM/8c. hour on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday nights. I did find this timing surprising, since other Hallmark dramas have aired at the 8 PM/7c. hour and "When Calls the Heart" is definitely a wonderful family drama. However, I do know devoted fans will watch whenever the Hallmark Channel airs it!

*UPDATE: THE PREMIERE DATE FOR 'WHEN CALLS THE HEART' HAS BEEN MOVED TO APRIL 25, 2015 at 8 PM / 7c. See details here.

A Scoop on Hallmark. Christmas. 2015.

Santa may be on vacation now, but the Hallmark team, coming off their Christmas 2014 seasonal victory of great ratings, are working hard to deliver a new season of Christmas Movies to our TVs for 2015!

It's no secret, that there are a lot of new mystery series coming this year to Hallmark - specifically on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries... but, this post isn't about that... no, it's about my scoop on the upcoming Christmas Movies coming THIS YEAR - this upcoming 2015 Christmas Season! And, this scoop, is Delicious!

Here's a little information I have scooped, thus far...

In an interview with Parade Magazine's online site - Parade.com... Michelle Vicary, executive vice president of programming and network publicity for Crown Media Family Networks, home of Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, talks about the success of the 2014 Hallmark Christmas and shares an inside look at the upcoming 2015 season.

Here's "the scoop"...

In the article Michelle Vicary shares, "We’ve got 14 [original movies] on the development plate so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that number inches up closer to 20 across the two networks."

Wow!!! I think that is exciting news! That means there could potentially be nearly 20 new Christmas Movies for the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this upcoming Christmas Season! For the 2014 Christmas Season, there were 14 movies on both networks, 12 from the Hallmark Channel, and two from Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Six more Christmas movies would be truly incredible!

For now, we only have two confirmed titles for Christmas, 2015- North Pole 2 and Karen Kingsbury's The Bridge.... so, we have lots more Christmas Movies to look forward to discovering!

I certainly hope the quality can match the quantity.

If you happen to hear, of one of these Christmas movies, please e-mail me or leave a comment on my site, and I will share the news with everyone!!!
