Sounds lovely! -Maria
ReplyDeleteI hope it's pop-flavoured country.
ReplyDeleteUP has announced two new Subscription Streaming Services - AspireTV+ and GaitherTV.
There's another new Christmas Movie written by Jennifer Snow :
Christmas Time Capsule starring Emily Alatalo and Franco Lo Presti.
Two friends go on road trip to track down his grandmother’s ring in order to propose, but the besties find themselves drawn to each other instead.
I ilke both the leads.
Maybe this could go to UP.

Jennifer has had several books-to-film, plus original scripts. Should be a good story.
ReplyDeleteHang out the flags!
ReplyDeleteMaybe UPtv has had a load of complaints because they are airing the Sunday Night Premiere movie again every Sunday in October.
Premiere can be interpreted loosely as I think this just means new to UP.
Oct 01 Adeline
Oct 08 Sweet As Maple Syrup
Oct 15 The Cowboy And The Movie Star
Oct 22 Country Hearts
0ct 29 Love At The Lodge
Im not sure about Adeline for the blurb talks about a strange woman coming to town and performing miracles so it might be a bit iffy.
Sweet As Maple Syrup stars Brooke Nevin and Carlo Marks.
I have seen this before (I think it might have been BYU) and it was a good while ago so my memory is hazy but I think it was family-friendly and a reasonable enough movie.
There is a Reel One Entertainment movie called The Movie Star and The Cowboy and I'll be well pleased if this the same movie. I haven't seen it before.
UP has promoted Country Hearts as above.
I like Lanie McAuley and the pop side of Country music so I think this should be good.
Love At The Lodge is a Nicely movie which I think has been shown outside of the US and it looks like a good Rom.Com

Florence, Thank you for sharing this news on the new UPtv movies coming in October.
DeleteI've checked with my sources and I can confirm these premiere dates and films are correct.
Both Adeline and Love At The Lodge are from Nicely Entertainment.
Like you, I'm not sure about Adeline with the miracle horse and all, but it stars Erin Bethea, who has been in a number of religious films, and it also stars John Schneider, who is a favorite of mine.
Also, you are correct - Sweet as Maple Syrup, from Incendo Productions, first premiered on BYUtv in 2021. I remember it being such a sweet rom-com; I look forward to seeing it again.
I can also confirm The Movie Star and The Cowboy is the film from ROE, Reel One Entertainment, starring Mackenzie Porter and Toby Levins.
Of course, we knew Country Hearts was coming in October since they announced this in their Christmas press release as the prequel movie to Country Hearts Christmas.
Hopefully, there will be some great movies in October. It's great to see they are bringing these Sunday movies back. I hope this means good news for 2024! :)
I posted the movies, along with their images, here:
