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

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend - enjoying the first day of Spring, along with the first Spring Fling movie! As usual, I'm looking forward to seeing everything NEW this weekend, especially "When Calls the Heart!"

And... the new "Mystery 101: Killer Timing" looks especially intriguing. Hallmark shows in the movie promo - Kristoffer Polaha's character Detective Travis Burke walking by a building - when suddenly there is an explosion that throws him a distance! Did you know something very similar to that actually happened to Kris in real life? He had drifted away from God spiritually, but he felt like God was trying to pull Him back. That unexpected event miraculously brought him back to Christ. You can read the full story about it at beliefnet - here. It is truly incredible and inspiring! Please let me know your thoughts about it or your take on the new movies in comments below...

Have a Blessed Weekend, Everyone!

Happy Spring! Net

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

"See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.

Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come,

the cooing of doves is heard in our land.

The fig tree forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance..."

~Song of Songs 2:11-13

UPtv March 2021 TV Movie Premieres - 🎂🌞 SEE HERE:

UPtv will be premiering NEW MOVIES on Sunday nights in March, beginning with "My Birthday Romance" starring Ali Cobrin and Jesse Hutch.

Also, look in March for the premieres of "Charm of Love" and "Love at Sunset Terrace!" See details on all of these movies below...



My Birthday Romance

Original Air Date: March 7, 2021

Starring: Ali Cobrin and Jesse Hutch

Story-line: Callie Fitzgerald is tired of her family fixing her up and questioning her single status. She is determined to find a pretend boyfriend for her 35th birthday party just so her family will leave her alone. What she didn’t expect was to actually fall for him.

Review:

🌞 "This is all very strange. The movie My Birthday Romance has been shown somewhere before. A while ago we were "Channel-hopping" and happened to come across this as it was just starting but when we saw the name Jesse Hutch decided to watch it. We forgot to note what Channel it was and haven't found it since! Now there's nothing new about the plot - we've seen this many times before in various guises but what elevated this was the interaction between Jesse and Ali Cobrin (whom I hadn't come across before) which was excellent and it moved along at a nice pace whuch kept your interest. Her brother was an interesting character too. It did go a bit pear-shaped in the final quarter but the actual ending was good and overall it was an above average movie. No problems as regards family frindly too." ~Anonymous

🌞 "My Birthday Romance--this movie was cute, sweet, I LOVE Ali Cobrin, she was a new face to me but I loved her. Love Jesse Hutch. Loved her family and how close they were and the little girl (her niece) was just adorable. Nothing seemed inappropriate to me." ~Sabrina

🌞 "I enjoyed watching "My Birthday Romance!" The brother is super funny, and I just loved all of the family! The mom & dad are a little pushy, but you could just sense how much they love and care for their daughter and just want her to be happy like they are together. The relationship between Callie and Will is fake - at first. They've both been pressured so much about being single, they just want a break, but it's obvious they are falling for one another. Great cast and family friendly." ~Net

🌞 "I could not get into My Birthday Romance or The Charm of Love, in fact, I deleted both before they were over. It could have just been the mood I was in??" ~Jane




🎂🌞🎂🌞🎂🌞🎂🌞🎂



The Charm of Love

Original Air Date: March 14, 2021

Starring: Katrina Lynne Norman and Tilky Montgomery Jones

Story-line: Art historian Dr. Madison Turner, an expert in ancient artifacts, travels halfway around the world to the Caribbean to find the legendary "Lovers Stone" to save her beloved museum, but when she meets Andrew “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, an international hotelier with trust issues and a local’s knowledge of the island, her search may lead her to true love after all.


Review:

🌞 "I enjoyed The Charm of Love. I would recommend watching it on once and if you missed it." -Misty

🌞 "I could not get into My Birthday Romance or The Charm of Love, in fact, I deleted both before they were over. It could have just been the mood I was in??" ~Jane




🎂🌞🎂🌞🎂🌞🎂🌞🎂



Love at Sunset Terrace

Original Air Date: March 21, 2021

Starring: Ellen Woglom and Carlo Marks

Story-line: Tired of her fast-paced life in the city, Sophie Carter travels to a small seaside town to disconnect and self-reflect, staying at a rental home run by a widowed father of a young girl. With a little nudging from the matchmaking daughter, Sophie and Michael unexpectedly start to fall in love and Sophie must decide between returning home or following her heart.

🌞 "I just watched Love at Sunset Terrace and absolutely loved it! The actors and actresses just all seemed very natural and realistic to me. Definitely family friendly and worth a re-watch. (One thing that was a bit distracting: you know how sometimes in the bottom right corner of the screen they'll have a little hallmark or uptv logo/icon? It's sometimes distracting to me when they do that, but all throughout this movie they kept popping in a large advertisement for The Passion of Christ so that a rather large image of Jesus kept popping into the bottom right corner of the screen. I was not thrilled to have a picture of Jesus's head bobbing about on the picnic table or the kitchen counter or the kayak. I wonder who at uptv thought that would be a good idea??!" ~Jane

Please note: I have watched the new UPtv movies listed above and found them all to be family friendly. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.

Based on the storylines and posters given, I think all of these movies look potentially good; however, I am most looking forward to "Love at Sunset Terrace." The story sounds lighthearted and sweet, and the poster looks really fun!
