ReplyDeleteMust see A Biltmore Christmas & Timeless Tidings of Joy. I guess I’m a sucker for time travel romance. Christie
Christie, I love those movies, too! It's so interesting to see the differences of the eras, especially at Christmastime! Enjoy watching again! 🎄🎄
DeleteHappy National Leon Day! So excited for Christmas in July! Almost time to bring the Christmas tree upstairs.
ReplyDeleteJim, Happy halfway to Christmas!!!!! Wow, I'm always amazed each year at how fast it comes! And just think... we're even closer to the movies starting in October!!!!
DeleteHope we get lots of sneak peeks during Christmas in July!!!🎄🎄🎄
I was just thinking this Net & Jim! Yes we are halfway to Christmas, but even closer to the Christmas movies starting in October! 😱 Crazy how fast the time flies! I just rewatched Welcome to Christmas with Eric Mabius…. I so miss him and the SSD gang….is this series officially done?
DeleteI will be recording the new summer movie this Saturday but all these Christmas movies are getting me in the holiday mood!

ReplyDelete“But as for me, I watch I hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savor; my God will hear me” - Micah 7:7
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Thank you for sharing, have a blessed Lord’s day tomorrow!!
DeleteI missed the 25th Christmas movie. I was on a 12 hour road trip back from visiting family and meeting my new niece (who is soooo cute and sweet), I practically melted when I held her!….I’ll have to watch a Christmas movie tomorrow along with Brennan’s. It looks good!
ReplyDeleteA Castle of Our Own is soooo sweet!! -Maria
ReplyDeleteMaria, I so agree! This movie was very sweet... such a perfect way to end the Summer Nights movies!!! :)
DeleteA Castle of our Own is so cute! I love Brennan and sometimes it’s hard to get used to seeing an actor/actress we love with someone we haven’t seen them with before. I’m used to seeing him with Lacey, Brooke in Flower Shop Mysteries, those are my fave pairings with him. But I really enjoyed him with Erica! I also enjoyed the daughter and niece, the nice relationship with her ex husband, which is rare to see. I can’t imagine how people can actually build sandcastles that big and grand, but it was fun to watch!

Paula, I wasn't sure what I'd think about Erica either with Brennan, but like you, I thought they had such great chemistry on screen! I think this may be the best movie I've ever seen with Erica, actually.
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I watched "A Castle of Our Own" last night. It was enchanting! I can't even begin to express my sheer joy of seeing Brennan on my television screen, in a new movie. ❤️❤️ His presence was calming and I have to say we both really enjoyed this sweet little movie. Not a lot happened and of course there was a festival! But, we could look past that because there was a lot to like. There was no misunderstanding. And, it was so refreshing to see adults having mature conversations and young teenagers not being surly and disrespectful. All of the relationships were authentic. Erica and Brennan had a realistic and heartfelt connection. There was a playfulness, and a sincerity which emanated throughout the film. Their chemistry was sweet and just lovely. I have always held Brennan in such high respect and this movie made me love him even more. You could see the sadness in his eyes but that gorgeous smile of his still lit up the screen. I highly recommend this movie.
Joan, I agree, I could sense some sadness in his eyes as well, even when he was smiling. I can’t imagine how hard it is to keep going when your love is gone….praying for him.
Delete~Paula
Joan, I love your beautiful review and the way you spoke about them being playful and having sweet chemistry. That struck me, as well, throughout the movie. It wasn't sizzling or sultry, it was gentle and heartfelt, which I enjoyed. I'm glad you did, too!
DeleteAnd your words on Brennan are so touching... this was such a heartwarming watch.
Hi Net,
DeleteAw thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :-) Thank you for your kind words and comments about my review and my words on Brennan. I sincerely hope he is finding peace and joy again. I can't even imagine going through what he has gone through.
Hi Paula,
Thank you for your comment and for praying for Brennan. I have definitely done the same thing many times.
A Castle of our Own – This Summer movie was such an enjoyable watch! I thought Brennan Elliott and Erica Cerra’s chemistry together was really sweet, it felt real and authentic. Their banter often felt effortless, as if they were actually talking off-script.
ReplyDeleteErica Cerra plays Marley, a single, divorced and overworked mother of a teenage daughter. And Brennan Elliott plays Adam, a guy who thinks he’s great at seizing the day, until he learns he’s been holding onto the past for way too long.
It’s sweet to see Marley gradually let go and take some time away from work to spend with her daughter and Adam.
It’s nice to see Adam release his previous relationship. (I couldn’t help from thinking of how much of Brennan’s own personal feelings were poured into this role and the incredible loss he’s suffered.) It was such a joy to see his beautiful smile and laughter on screen again.
The sandcastles they build are also fun to see. What an incredible process that is. This movie truly felt like a breath of fresh summer air!!! Net
