I think I just happened to be ...Sweet Pecan Summer<br /><br />I think I just happened to be in the right frame of mind as this was an unusual movie which I have to admit I quite liked - but not for the usual reasons!<br /><br />It was a light=hearted and amusing movie.<br /><br />Both the setting and the plot were interesting and Christine Ko and Wes Brown played their parts pretty well but I have to agree with Net that there just wasn't much chemistry between them it was more a gentle but somewhat lukewarm familiarity between them.<br /><br />To be honest I thought the stars of the movie were Lauren Tom as Aunt Carol and Chase Ramsay as Chris.<br /><br />The banter beween JP and his buddy Chris and between Amanda and her Aunt Carol was superb.<br /><br />I don't think melnewlife was wrong, there were a few non family-friendly moments which I picked on such as when Carol was allocating the rooms and she said to Walter "you know nwhere you're staying" - it was an obvious reference that he woulf be sleeping with her but again these were brief and you could easilky have missed them.<br /><br />The baseball scenes and the sudden storm and subsequenr pecan gathering all aded to the interest.<br /><br />I think it's something Hallmark should do more often but I like it at the end when they show a short scene a bit down the line showing the relationship is flourishing.<br /><br />Although I watch Hallmark for the Romance and that was low-key here I do have to rate this movie prettt highly because it kept me entertained.<br /><br />Florence's rating - 7.5 rubcalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344167131113179273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-72923661919023950782021-09-20T07:13:52.890-04:002021-09-20T07:13:52.890-04:00Journey Of My Heart
A somewhat unusual movie for ...Journey Of My Heart<br /><br />A somewhat unusual movie for Hallmark but the theme of searching for eagles in a hidden valley is a bit dry and wouldn't have universal appeal.<br /><br />The reviews of this movie weren't great so I wasn't expecting much but actually I found it wasn't THAT bad.<br /><br />The one outstanding feature was the scenery which was magnificent.<br /><br />The beginning and the ending were on a par with most Hallmark movies - the problem was that the major part of it was given over to the two leads tracking through rugged terrain on their quest.<br /><br />While I liked both Rhiannon Fish and Darien Martin they just didn't have the abilty to hold the viewer's interest for such a long period of time although they did try to lighten the atmosphere with a few amusing incidents such as falling into the river and encountering a bear, but there really wasn't a great deal of chemistry between them and there was far too much detail given about the subject matter.<br /><br />What I found highly amusing was that they each carried a moderately sized backpack out of which they managed to produce tents, changes of clothing, various cooking utensils etc!<br /><br />As has been commented on by many part of the plot was similar to the recently aired Chasing Waterfalls.<br /><br />But I did enjoy parts of the movie and have seen many worse - Forence's rating 5.5Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-78963520922413232452021-09-09T15:37:55.724-04:002021-09-09T15:37:55.724-04:00Could be me but I did not like any of these.

I have to say....Movie Review - Journey of My Heart<br /><br />I have to say... I just didn’t love this one. For me, the trip to find the eagles at the hidden canyon was not very entertaining. So many details were given about birds and migration, I kept feeling like a quiz was going to be given after the movie was over. Note: There was also a brief mention of Indian spirits, a spirit guide and eagles being a messenger from the Creator. Overall, it was family friendly and the outdoor scenery, water falls and eagles were all beautiful, but the story, especially the conflict, was a carbon copy of the movie, Chasing Waterfalls. ~NetNet - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-62052458627307211682021-08-30T13:19:09.388-04:002021-08-30T13:19:09.388-04:00melnewlife - Thank you so much for this wonderful,...melnewlife - Thank you so much for this wonderful, detailed review! I am so glad to hear that it was family friendly. I also appreciate you adding those cautions - that is always most helpful. <br /><br />I'm so delighted to hear that the movie brought to mind so many sweet memories for you. I love when a movie does that, too, so I'm most excited now to watch this one.<br /><br />As for where it was filmed - that was in the great outdoors in Utah - this Summer, in June and July. So... at least it was filmed in the good ole USA!<br /><br />Thank you, again, for sharing your enthusiasm over this movie - and how it was meaningful to you.<br /><br />I posted your review above ^!<br /><br />Blessings to you!Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-63551881896066015942021-08-29T20:11:05.482-04:002021-08-29T20:11:05.482-04:00I absolutely loved Sweet Pecan Summer! I confess p...I absolutely loved Sweet Pecan Summer! I confess part of it is that I loved the setting - a Georgia Pecan Farm - because I'm from Georgia myself. Back in school, we always learned "remember your Ps" for the top three Georgia crops: peanuts, pecans, and peaches. Yep, peaches is actually third behind the other two even though we are the peach state! Hallmark has set other movies in Georgia but have missed the mark, making me groan at the mistakes, but this one felt like it really was in Georgia (maybe they filmed it here? Probably not, they film most in Canada). Anyways, the baseball, the pecans and pecan pie, the mason jars of sweet tea,the corn hole, the violent summer storm out of nowhere, the pickup trucks, and the country music. It was all spot on for rural Georgia. The storyline, though it's been done before, was like a fun family reunion. I loved the lead actress, and her chemistry with her costar was amazing. It was funny, too, especially Aunt Carol. It was really family friendly also. There were only three "blink and you might miss it" moments that might be questionable. In the first, Aunt Carol is looking at skimpy bathing suits (one pieces) online, presumably for when she moves to the beach. In the second, when the family arrives, she points to someone and says "you know where you're staying" - and it wasn't clear, but it seemed like she was saying it to her boyfriend suggesting that maybe he sleeps with her? And then at the end, she's clearly living with the boyfriend and it never says if they are married or not. Again, those were all very vague (you barely see the bathing suits on Carol's computer screen), and I may have misread them. Overall, this was a favorite for me!It took me back to family reunions and my grandmother's pecan tree in her backyard. To me, that cozy family feeling is what Hallmark is all about. melnewlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225561148509737357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-32165771108055239092021-08-24T16:03:23.478-04:002021-08-24T16:03:23.478-04:00Bonnie, Thank you so much for your comment and kin...Bonnie, Thank you so much for your comment and kind words.

"Sealed With a Kiss: Wedding M...Movie Review:<br /><br />"Sealed With a Kiss: Wedding March 6 - is family friendly. I loved seeing Mick and Olivia together again in this 6th "Wedding March" film! Since they've been friends for years, Jack Wagner and Josie Bissett have such an easy-going flow to their relationship, on and off screen. At this point, Mick and Olivia's relationship is unwavering and rock solid, which I truly appreciated. No obstacle, big or small, was going to get in their way. In this movie they are helping another couple, Curt and Autumn, plan their wedding day at the inn, which is only a week before their own. This couple, however, have plenty of issues: Curt's a famous rising actor and Autumn's a children's author. His publicist thinks they need a big celeb-style wedding and the bride just wants simplicity, which causes lots of friction between the two. I wasn't overly fond of the on-going tension between Autumn and Curt, but I did enjoy all the sweet moments with Mick and Olivia. I missed seeing Mick's friend, Duke, and their daughters, but it was wonderful to see Olivia's mother, played by actress Susan Hogan (Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas, The Christmas Secret, etc...). Even with all ups and downs, this trip down the aisle is a must see finale for the "Wedding March" movie series." ~Net<br /><br />You can see this review and others above ^!Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-31414747354752205822021-08-20T13:40:56.178-04:002021-08-20T13:40:56.178-04:00Yes!
