Movie Reviews:

πŸ”Ž Family Practice Mysteries: Coming Home Review.... A very good mystery. I can see this being a great series. Her relationship with her teenage children (who are very respectful) is great like Garage Sale Mysteries and has the same with her widowed father(similar to Mystery 101). It was family-friendly and it was another one of those kinds when the detective shares information!! His only fault is that he's a cat person...haha ;) I laughed when Rachel said Einstein had a dog.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

There was a scene when her work friend is doing yoga meditation. I was glad they didn't really go into it and in the end(killer reveal scene) there is a mention of the "D" word. Which was unfortunate, normally there is no language. Overall, I am glad I watched it and hope to see more! ~Abigail

πŸ”Ž "Family Practice Mysteries: Coming Home" - I saw this movie on streaming service. It's family friendly. Acting was good. Story is a little hard to follow. No real dynamics, but over all was a good mystery. ~Joyce in Carolina

πŸ”Ž The Family Practice mysteries is streaming early on Hallmark Now. The movie was family-friendly, but I'll admit I was surprised that two swear words were included towards the end of the movie. Other than that it was surprisingly good. ~Laura

****************************



I hope you all have a nice weekend planned, and perhaps you can enjoy one of the new movies or When Calls the Heart.

I'm personally looking forward to seeing the return of Tom Thornton, Jack's brother, in this all-new WCTH episode. In the past, he was a troublesome character getting into all sorts of mischief; however, Faith was a good friend who helped him get a job many years ago that set him on a better path. Tom's history, however, does seem to make some skeptical on his current endeavor to find a choir. Is he on the up and up? When I see the upcoming promos/press images, I get a sort of Professor Harold Hill (the scheming traveling salesman) feel from The Music Man. Hopefully, Tom has turned over a new leaf.

There's also a new mystery movie premiere this weekend, and I want to include a special THANK YOU to Abigail, Joyce, and Laura for sharing early movie reviews for Family Practice Mysteries: Coming Home. If you didn't catch them before, you can see all three reviews above. Thank you, ladies, for taking the time to share with us. I know MANY appreciate this (as I do!) so much!

And, of course, the Hallmark Channel has a new puppy-themed movie! I'm sure all dog lovers (including myself!) will be thrilled to *catch* this one! Please note: I haven't pre-screened this movie, but if it is as cute as the promo, then we are all in for a nice *treat*!


Happy watching, everyone!
Blessings on your weekend,
Net

πŸ”ŽActress Sarah Drew to Star in New Hallmark Christmas Mystery SeriesπŸ”Ž



Hallmark Media announces a new Christmas-themed mystery series, Mistletoe Murders, starring Actress Sarah Drew, who will also serve as Executive Producer on this project.

According to Deadline, who made this announcement, "Drew has been cast as Emily Lane in Mistletoe Murders, which is based on the Audible global hit podcast of the same name. Emily is described as smart, tough, and observant, but also kind, empathetic, and charming with a great — albeit dry — sense of humor."

Hallmark Media also released this story synopsis: "When Emily isn’t busy running her charming small-town Christmas-themed store, “Under the Mistletoe,” she finds herself compelled to investigate local murders with the help of a handsome local police detective and his teen daughter. On the surface, Emily is a perfectly lovely, good-natured mystery lover – but she is hiding a secret past that, if exposed, threatens to destroy the new life she has built in Fletcher’s Grove."

Sarah Drew has a long resume of Hallmark movies that include Guiding Emily, Front of the Class, One Summer, Christmas in Vienna, and Branching Out, and a variety of films for other outlets, including the theater production, Mom's Night Out, Lifetime's Christmas Pen Pals, and more recently, Great American Pure Flix's Birthright Outlaw.

Sarah shared this movie news with her followers, using three smiling faces and clapping emojis and the caption, "SO excited!!!"

I'm also excited to hear this Christmas movie news and learn how Hallmark is incorporating the mystery genre into its upcoming holiday programming.


Stay tuned for more details,

image: Hallmark Media


Hallmark announced today a new, exciting fan event for their devoted Christmas movie viewers - 
Hallmark Christmas Experience!


This November the Hallmark Channel invites their fans to... "Join us to celebrate the joy of the season with Hallmark stars, tree lightings, a Christmas market, festive food and drinks, and so much more! Ticket packages on sale tomorrow, May 16."

The event will take place from November 29 to December 23, 2024, in Kansas City, Missouri, the home of Hallmark’s headquarters.


Video via Hallmark Channel - Facebook:




For more information and ticket details, visit https://experiencehallmarkchristmas.com.

This sounds like a wonderful place for Hallmark Christmas movie fans to visit, enjoy a yummy Christmas treat, and perhaps meet one of their favorite Hallmark actors and other fans who love these holiday movies just as much!

This event may be the next best thing to actually being in a Hallmark movie!

In fact, one follower on IG wrote this message, and it made me chuckle, so I just had to share:

jess_intheburgh: Don’t forget to break up with your city-dwelling boyfriend prior to returning to your Christmas themed town so you can bump into your ex and fall back in love πŸ˜‚

Isn't that hilarious and cute!?!?! I couldn't help from laughing over the familiar Hallmark movie trope.

I've noticed other commenters are mostly excited, while others hope Hallmark will make this event happen a little closer to their home. Of course, as I mentioned above, Hallmark's headquarters are in Kansas City, Missouri, so that's the reason behind the chosen location.

Please share your thoughts in the comments below!


Have a JOYful day!
