Hello, movie friends!
Are you looking for something new to watch this weekend? I may have the key to this question below, as we unlock the latest movies together!
Great American Family's newest movie premiere, "Mystery by the Book" (previously titled "Key to Love"), is lighthearted, charming, and romantic. The mystery portion is low-key but still intriguing. I watched this movie early on Great American Pure Flix, and I've included my review below.
The Hallmark Channel will surely rope in viewers with their latest premiere, "The Real West," which features beautiful countryside, romance, comedy, and cowboys!
Check out details on these movies below and some of the best classic movies airing this weekend...

Movie Review:
Mystery by the Book – (I streamed this movie on Great American Pure Flix)
This romantic-comedy is lighthearted, sweet, and endearing. Some of the story is somewhat predictable, but that’s part of the charm that made this movie such an enjoyable watch.
Corey Sevier, who is well-known for a number of TV movies, including “Noel Next Door,” “Everything Christmas,” “Northern Lights of Christmas,” etc… is the true star of this movie, with his portrayal of Josh, an architect and book cover model. His charming personality shined through, as it always does. I felt Corey Sevier was the glue that held this movie together.
In the beginning, I wasn’t certain about the chemistry between Josh and Samantha, who owns and runs the local book store. Samantha and her friend, Brittany, sometimes act like giddy teenagers; however, in spite of that, I still found the movie to be heartwarming and amusing.
It was delightful to watch Josh and Samantha search through Josh’s grandfather’s estate attempting to find a hidden treasure. I especially enjoyed seeing them play dress-up with his grandparent’s clothing and accessories.
Some parts of the movie may be a bit unrealistic, perhaps, but “Mystery by the Book” is a relaxing, family-friendly rom-com that isn’t overly serious, and it leaves you smiling and feeling good inside. ~Net

My heart and prayers go out to all of you who are in the path of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Helene. May God be with you all. Please, please, be safe out there, especially where there is flooding and destruction.
We are finally receiving some much-needed rain here in the Midwest, but nothing severe, thankfully; although, we may have strong winds heading our way. I hope you all are doing well wherever you live.
Please Note: I haven't pre-screened the new movie, "The Real West". If you'd like to post a review on whether this film is family-friendly after it premieres, please share in comments. I'm personally loving the cowboy/country feel to this movie, so I'm hoping it's a good one!
"Mystery by the Book" is a delightful, family-friendly movie. In case you missed it, I shared a review for this movie above.
In addition to the new movies, there are plenty of great classic movie options airing this weekend, as well, including "Love in Bloom" on Great American Family (I may be redundant in saying so, but I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this movie), the "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries" marathon airs Sunday on Hallmark Mystery (I always enjoy sleuthing with our girl, Candace Cameron Bure, and next week her all-new "Ainsley McGregor Mysteries" premieres on Great American Family), and my last recommendation is "Styled with Love" on UPtv (If you haven't seen it, be sure to record it or give it a watch; it's such a sweet rom-com)!
Have a Blessed Weekend, Everyone!
Again, take care...

I really like your first picture Net. That’s cute the way you referenced the old west wanted signs. I’m looking forward to both new movies this weekend. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Lucas Bryant in anything new and I’ve been wanting to see Mystery by the Book since last year. Christie

ReplyDeleteMurder She Wrote’ Movie Is Still in the Works
I am obsessed with the comfy, cozy, iconic murder mystery television series Murder, She Wrote, starring Dame Angela Lansbury (may she rest in peace).
I fell in love with it while watching with my mom growing up, and as an adult, I have seen the full series several times over. It's that perfect rainy day binge.
As you know, the character Jessica Fletcher (played by Lansbury) is a teacher-turned-mystery novelist and sleuth who solves some 60 murders in her home town of Cabot Cove, Maine. However murder follows her around the globe during her vacations and book tours during its 12 season run from 1984 to 1996.
Alright, back to the fictional, quaint fishing village of Cabot Cove and the latest surrounding this charming Maine fishing village as the set of a new theatrical film version with big behind-the-scenes names attached.
According to Town and Country magazine, the classic show is in the works at Universal. The writers themselves known for Orange is the New Black and Dumb Money, Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, confirmed they've even finished the script.
According to the ScreenRant website, the producer is Academy Award-winning Amy Pascal of Pascal Pictures, known for the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Molly's Game, The Post, andLittle Women.
Other than that we haven't heard any new updates about this film adaption of our beloved detective series as we wait to learn more.
Watching both new movies. -Maria
