Movie Review:

πŸŽ„ Nicely's The Christmas Checklist (streaming on Freevee) is so heartwarming and inspiring, which is why it pains me to say it's not a clean movie. There's 1 swear word that I know of, and near the end of the movie, there's a gay brother. Sorry to anyone who might have wanted to see it. -Maria

Stars: Rebecca Dalton, Olivier Renaud, Shaun Johnston

Movie Review:

πŸŽ„ Christmas in Big Sky Country. I rather enjoyed this predictable little movie. It was comfortable and satisfying, even though sometimes hokey. There wasn’t a huge amount of romantic chemistry but I thought all the actors did a decent job (in fact I kind of think it might be the best movie the two leads have each done?). It was the same old, same old plotline, and it’s not going to win any awards and I’m not even sure it was all that Christmassy, but there was just enough drama and uniqueness and family sweetness to make it stand out a little bit and be worth watching in a sea of Christmas-movie sameness. Loved the yarn shop; and the family patriarch, who is a sheep farmer, and has lots of silly Dad puns. Family friendly. {I watched this as part of a 3-movie dvd collection that I bought through Net’s affiliation with Amazon. All three movies are good so it was worth the purchase. “Christmas in Maple Hills”, “Christmas with the Knightleys” and this one.} ~~Jane

Note: Thank you, Jane, for this sweet review... I've included a link to the DVD below.

Georgia Jackson hopes to put on a Christmas showcase with her students, but finds herself in the spotlight when in exchange for a new community center she agrees to pose as the girlfriend of Chase Knightly, the famous son of a billionaire.

Stars: Celeste Desjardins, Joe Scarpellino, Brian Cook

Movie Review:

πŸŽ„ Christmas with the Knightlys - What a cute little movie! Sweet, romantic, funny. Most all of the actors were new to me and they all did a good job. Family friendly. Glad I own the dvd so I can watch this again sometime. ~~Jane



πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„



Looks like it’s shaping up to be another wonderful Christmas movie season on UPtv! πŸŽ„✨

I’d love to know which movies you are most excited to watch this year?

Personally, I can’t wait to see many of these, including Saving the Christmas Ranch and A Christmas in Amish Country. The first stars Jonathan Stoddard (who many of you know and love from the "Crossroad Springs" series), and the latter features Ella Cannon and Jason Tobias, who were charming together in the UPtv movie, A Wedding for Belle.

Some of you may spot a few familiar titles that have already found their way to DVD or streaming, like Christmas in Big Sky Country and Christmas with the Knightlys. I’ve shared Jane’s delightful reviews of these films above, and after reading her thoughts on these movies again, I’m even more excited to watch them myself! If you’ve seen these movies too, I’d love to hear what you thought... feel free to share in the comments below.

Wishing you all 
a very Merry Day!

🎬☀️ New This Labor Day Weekend: "Crossroad Springs," 'The Wedding Arrangement,' & 'Catch of the Day' -- Which One Will You Catch First? 🐟


( click to enlarge image


Happy Labor Day Weekend, Friends!

I hope you’re able to slow down a little on this extended weekend, soak up some rest, and enjoy a bit of well-deserved downtime.

I'm planning to do a little extra yard work while the weather is still nice and warm, and share some time with my family out in the sunshine, and later in the cool evenings we'll likely gather around the fire pit.

If your weekend’s looking busy, don’t forget to set your DVR for the brand-new series premiere on Great American Family, “Crossroad Springs”! The first episode airs Saturday night. (I streamed it early on PureFlix - see my review below!). This heartfelt show invites us right into the heart of ranch life... full of warmth, family drama, and all the ups and downs that come with it.

And if you’re in the mood for something romantic, Great American Family also premieres a lighthearted movie titled 'The Wedding Arrangement'! (See my review for this below, too!)

The Hallmark Channel wraps up their *Summer Nights* with 'Catch of the Day,' a seaside romance that may be the perfect last splash of the season! 

I hope you’ll enjoy some of these heartwarming stories this weekend. If you do, I’d love to hear which ones you liked most, so please share your thoughts in the comments below!

Episode 1 - Review:

“Crossroad Springs” is such a heartwarming look at life on a family ranch. You really feel the love, hard work, and sense of community. It was comforting to watch the characters face challenges and lean on each other. Episode one does a wonderful job of introducing us to the Hamilton family, those in their community, and their neighbor/rival, Daniel Newman. (By the way, Jesse Hutch plays the character very well!) I loved all of the little touches of faith, and I’m looking forward to the next episode! -Net

☀️ SHINING HIS LIGHT: ☀️

The premiere of “Crossroad Springs” brought these scriptures to my mind; they remind us that with family, friends, and God at the center, even the toughest days can feel lighter....

“Commit your work to the Lord, 
and your plans will be established.”
Proverbs 16:3

“Two are better than one…
for if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Fans of the beloved TV series Heartland will feel right at home, especially with the familiar face of Grandpa Jack (Shaun Johnston) and many other “Heartland” alums. Alongside a cast of mostly familiar talent, Crossroad Springs will likely deliver the same warmth, wisdom, and authenticity that made Heartland a household name.

See all of the newly released details for this new series in the press release below.

and Franco Lo Presti

Streaming on Great American Pure Flix, August 28 and Premiering on Great American Family, August 31

NEW YORK, NY – June 3, 2025 – Great American Media continues to build on the success of its Original series lineup with the premiere of “Crossroad Springs,” a moving new drama debuting on Pure Flix, Thursday, August 28, and on Great American Family, Sunday, August 31, as part of the flagship network’s “Faith & Family Sundays” program event. “Crossroad Springs,” starring Jonathan Stoddard (A Royal Christmas Ballet), Emily Alatalo (Christmas In Maple Hills), Shaun Johnston (“Heartland”), Kate Drummond (“Heartland”), Brittany Underwood (A Royal Christmas Ballet), Jesse Hutch (A Little Women’s Christmas), Jon McLaren (“When Hope Calls”), Erin Agostino (The Jingle Bell Jubilee), and Franco Lo Presti (“Bad Blood”), bring audiences stories rooted in faith, family, and the strength found in unity.

Built around the simple but powerful idea that the end of one road can lead to something greater, Crossroad Springs follows a family at a pivotal turning point and a town becoming a symbol of resilience, purpose, and hope.

“We are very proud to introduce our audience to this new series,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “Like our other Original series, ‘Crossroad Springs’ furthers our mission to create meaningful content anchored in timeless values.

“Crossroad Springs” follows the Hamilton family, adult siblings James (Stoddard) and Janet (Alatalo), their aging family members, dad, Willis (Johnston), and Aunt Amy (Drummond), who are eking out a living on Hamilton Ranch with financial hardships and staffing shortages. James, a pastor in Chicago, and Janet, an ER doctor in a neighboring town, feel called to return home to help the family. Once there, the siblings encounter the son of the owner of the neighboring farm, Daniel Newman (Hutch), who are all wary of each other due to a generational feud between the families. As he settles into his new day-to-day life on the farm, James begins to realize there are no places to worship on the thousands of acres of farms. There, in the environment of come-as-you-are vibes, barns, rodeo arenas, even outdoors under clear night skies, James starts a cowboy church right there in the place where faith, family, and ranch life go hand in hand.

NEW in June on UPtv - Heartland, Mystic, and more...


Besides UPtv's New *June Grooms* movies, Our Dream Wedding, The Engagement Backup, A Romance Wedding, and Planning on Forever (which you can see in further detail - here), you can also see new episodes of TV series on UPtv - throughout the month of June.

Tonight, UPtv will have the third episode of Heartland, Season 15, titled: Bad Moon Rising. I have pre-screened this episode, and I can tell you it is family-friendly and quite intriguing. A number of thefts have been occuring in the area; Lisa ropes solid and steady Jack (who is used to defending his family on his own) into installing a modern security system and young, intelligent Parker (who is cute, but can sometimes be a know-it-all) volunteers to help. People in town, of course, claim the thief is one of the troubled youths Amy is helping through Cooper's therapy center, Higher Ground, and they want Lou, as the mayor, to shut the program down. This episode is so engrossing, you'll easily be drawn in to the story and want more (trust me!) when the credits roll.

Heartland's new episode airs tonight (Thursday, June 2, 2022) at 8pm/7c. on UPtv!



Also, premiering tonight on UPtv is Mystic. I haven't had the opportunity to screen this series, yet, but it also has a storyline that revolves around a young girl, troubled teens and horses. Mystic will air immediately following Heartland at 9pm/8c. on UPtv.

If you've missed the first 2 episodes of Heartland, then you can easily catch up tonight. UPtv is re-airing episode 1 at 10pm/9c. and episode 2 at 11pm/10c. I did want to mention there is one very brief mention of a man's partner during the second episode. Other than that, both episodes are warm, engaging, and family friendly.

UPtv is also premiering The Wedding Planners in June - Friday nights at 8pm/7c, beginning this Friday, June 3rd. This series is about two sisters and a brother who take over their mother's wedding planning business after her passing. Please know, I have not pre-screened this series.

Hope you discover something you will enjoy!

Blessings on your day, Net

Heartland Season 15 Premiere on UPtv - TONIGHT!




Heartland
Season 15 Premieres in the US
on Thursday, May 19, 2022
at 8pm/7c. on UPtv

I was able to screen the first episode of Season 15, and I can tell you it is a heartwarming, family-friendly start to a whole new season. The episode begins with the patriarch, Grandpa Jack, looking over his land and herd of cattle. I thought this was a strong introduction, with an incredible view of the beautiful Heartland ranch.



Amy's daughter, Lyndy, who somehow looks just like a little Amy, has a special role in this episode, as she's working on a sweet surprise for her mama's birthday and going to school (sort-of) for the first time. I was impressed at how well she said her lines at such a young age.



Unfortunately, we don't see Lou and Peter's daughter's Georgie or Katie in this episode. In fact, Georgie does not appear in this season, at all, and Katie (not sure why) is played by a new actress.



I won't spoil any of the storylines, but we do see Lou in season 15, as she's still working through her love issues and her father, Tim, who returns from his trip with a major surprise. Plus, there is, of course, a special horse with ties to the past, who needs Amy's special attention.


See the sneak-peek trailer below...

UPDATE: I received this comment regarding Heartland and I wanted to make you all aware: "Just a heads up, there is a same sex relationship in this season. I had suspicions last season, and it is definitely mentioned this season. It’s not a major storyline, but so sad it was introduced." (Thank you, Anonymous, for letting us know.) I wanted to be certain everyone here knew about this - so you can choose if you will watch more of Season 15.


Happy trails to all of you, Net

Heartland Season 14 - Coming to UPtv this Summer! Details Here:


Heartland image via: UPtv


Mark your calendars, Heartland fans - the drama series returns in the U.S. with new episodes Thursday, July 8th, on UPtv!

Heartland originates on the CBC channel in Canada. Season 14 already aired there from January to March. In May, Season 14 became available in the U.S. through UPtv's streaming service UPtv Faith and Family.

Season 14 of Heartland finds horses healing Amy as much as Amy heals horses. While Amy struggles with a life-changing challenge, the entire town of Hudson will have to deal with an unexpected disaster that threatens to derail Lou’s first term as mayor. But, the family will pull through together and be stronger as a result. Family is courage, and times change.

Also, in Season 14, along with most of the regular cast members, you can also look for two well known Hallmark actors, Kevin McGarry ("When Calls the Heart") and Gabe Hogan ("Murder, She Baked").



Here's an extended trailer of Heartland's Season 14:



Also, if you haven't heard, Amber Marshall (who portrays Amy), has already announced Season 15 is happening!

I am often asked if Heartland is a family-friendly series. I would say 9 out of 10 times it is; however, there have been some issues with language, drinking and although it is rare, there have been some adult situations. I have not viewed the 10 episodes for Season 14, yet, but I hope there will also be some touching family moments, as there have been in all of the previous seasons of Heartland.

Happy trails to y'all, Net

The hit family drama "Heartland" returns to UPtv with ALL NEW SEASON 12 Episodes beginning Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at 9 PM ET starring Amber Marshall, Michelle Morgan, Graham Wardle, Shaun Johnston, Chris Potter, Kevin McGarry, Alisha Newton, Kerry James, Jessica Steen, Lisa Durupt and Gabe Hogan!

I have personally been watching this one hour drama series since it first began airing on UP many years ago. It's a family series with some intense drama, true to life family moments, and the profound love and care for horses. The main story and heart of the series always takes place on the families' horse ranch.

UPtv provides this description of "Heartland": "A family drama series set in the rolling foothills of the Rockies, “Heartland” follows life on the Heartland ranch as Amy Fleming (Amber Marshall), her older sister Lou (Michelle Morgan) and Grandfather Jack (Shaun Johnston) deal with the challenges of running the ranch that has been in their family for generations. Heartland is not like any other ranch — it is a horse ranch with a special mission of treating troubled or neglected horses and finding them new homes, and Amy has inherited her late mother’s uncanny ability to work with, understand and help heal those horses."

There is something so real and special about this show as you watch this family grow through the years together on this horse ranch. At times, family members may come and go, but in the end, they always pull together when they are needed.

I hope many of you will look forward, as I am, to Season 12 of Heartland on UPtv. By the way, for any Canadian followers here, I am delighted to see your Season 13 of Heartland began on September 22nd on CBC, which means... we have even more episodes to come!
