My Weekend Movie Thoughts...
Even though I've seen Mr. Manhattan, I'm looking forward to re-watching this inspiring movie Saturday night on Great American Family and hearing your reviews. I believe that once viewers see this movie and others from PureFlix (for the next six Saturdays), they will request more heartwarming, faith-based stories like these.
I'm also quite intrigued by the new Hallmark Mystery premiering Friday night, Jazz Ramsey: A K-9 Mystery, and I'm hoping to have the chance to watch it over the weekend. As I've mentioned to you all before, I just love the 90's TV Series, Little Men, in which Rachel Skarsten and Corey Sevier worked together as pre-teens/teenagers. The series ran for two seasons from 1998-1999 on the PAX TV network. I truly can't wait to see Corey and Rachel all these years later in this new mystery together!
I would love to hear your thoughts on the new movies this weekend and which ones you plan to watch.
Please Note: You can see my review of Mr. Manhattan *here*, but I haven't pre-screened the other new movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether these films are family-friendly, please share in comments below.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Blessings to you all!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
