2 Must-See Movies TODAY: “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” from the beginning + A Hallmark Christmas Classic! #POstables #Hallmarkies SEE HERE:


Today - you can watch "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" - starting with their very first movie! It's the initial introduction to Oliver, Shane, Rita, and Norman and how these four great Postal Detectives became the incredible POstables!

Plus, you'll want to revisit "The Christmas Cottage" on Friday night for a classic Hallmark holiday rom-com! (By the way, "The Christmas Cottage" stars Steve Lund, who will also star in this weekend's new movie premiere, "Baby, It's Cold Inside.")



Friday, May 7, 2021:




Storyline: “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” introduces a dedicated, quartet of civil servants in the Dead Letter Office of the U.S. Postal System who transform themselves into an elite team of lost-mail detectives. Their determination to deliver the seemingly undeliverable takes them out of the post office into an unpredictable world where letters and packages from the past save lives, solve crimes, reunite old loves and change futures by arriving late but always miraculously on time. The intrepid team is led by the charming and handsome, but idiosyncratic, Oliver (Mabius) who still considers the stamped and mailed letter to be the gold standard of human communication. His hapless team of lost letter experts, free-spirited Rita (Crystal Lowe, “Smallville”) and oddly- intuitive Norman (Geoff Gustafson, “Primeval: New World”), are thrown for a loop when a beautiful, no-nonsense technophile named Shane (Booth) is mistakenly transferred to their inner sanctum. Shane inspires the lovable crew to step up in a risky and unorthodox way, beginning with a chance to clear the name of a wrongfully accused man and reconnect him with the love of his life.


Movie Review: (This is my review of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" from 2013 - when I first watched the original SSD movie! You can cleary see how passionate I was about the first movie, before it was even a series.)

The Hallmark Channel delivers again!

Signed, Sealed, Delivered will send your Heart on a First Class Journey of Adventure!

I have seen this movie and I can guarantee this Hallmark Package will be well received by viewers! It's fabulous! I would compare it to the level of a Hallmark Hall of Fame film, due to the wonderful cast and inspirational, heartwarming feel.

The CIA has nothing on this team of “Letter” detectives!

Signed Sealed Delivered is such a clever movie… thought-provoking, soul-searching, and definitely emotionally stirring!

I loved that each character, in this story, was more than one dimensional… (read more of my review - here)

Storyline via Hallmark: When Lacey takes a rare break from work for her friend Ava’s Christmas Eve wedding, she reconnects with her former flame, Ean. The two decorate the cottage where the newlyweds will spend their honeymoon – a cottage said to bring true love to anyone who stays there – and feel their chemistry return. Lacey, however, is dating her equally workaholic business partner, Roger, who arrives just before the wedding. With Roger in town Lacey sees the sharp contrast between Ean’s family values and Roger’s sole focus on work, and must decide if the professional goals she shares with Roger or the connection and history she shares with Ean are more important in a lasting relationship.

A Gift to Remember (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries)
“Darcy’s lifelong love of reading has led her to the perfect job, working in a small Manhattan bookstore. A real romantic, Darcy won’t settle for some man simply because of his job title or bank account. No, she insists on being swept off her feet. One day, while bicycling to work, Darcy crashes into Adrian, a sharply dressed gentleman walking his dog. Knocked unconscious, he’s rushed to the hospital where he falls into a coma. Deeply shaken, the guilt-ridden Darcy takes the dog home, waiting to reunite him with his owner. As she learns more about Aidan – a world-traveler, a devoted man of letters – Darcy realizes he could be the one she has been waiting for. That is, until he comes to and Darcy discovers she has created a fictional world for a very real man. Will she still fall in love?”

The Christmas Cottage (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries)
“Still only in her mid-twenties, Lacey Quinn has already given up on love. Her heart’s been broken too many times, and now she concentrates on her career as an interior designer in Raleigh, North Carolina. When BFF Ava Callahan asks Lacey to be her maid of honor, she must take on a few responsibilities, including making sure the Callahan family cottage is perfect for the honeymoon. Legend has it that if newlyweds spend their first night there, everlasting love and happiness follow. Lacey isn’t sure she buys into that notion. Still, when she finds herself snowed in there with Charlie, Ava’s brother, Lacey has to reconsider if the little house may hold some romantic magic after all — especially at Christmas.”

The Christmas Train (Hallmark Channel - Hallmark Hall of Fame)
“David Baldacci’s No. 1 New York Times bestseller comes to Hallmark Hall of Fame with this story of cynical journalist Tom Langdon, taking a train from D.C. to L.A. for Christmas. He’s not too thrilled with the journey, but Tom is the sort who’s not thrilled by much. Tom’s been briefly married but never had kids. Today his ex-wife wouldn’t accept a collect call from him in the most dire of circumstances. Tom is forty-one and has just lost his mother to a stroke; his father has been dead for several years. Being an only child he is truly alone now, and that has made him introspective. Half his time on earth is gone, and all he has to show for it is a failed marriage, no offspring, an informal alliance with a California voiceover queen, a truckload of newsprint and some awards. By any reasonable measure, it is a miserable excuse for an existence. But Tom’s cross-country journey will soon become an internal odyssey. Strangers remind of him of people’s innate goodness. Before long, Tom rekindles a love, and the magic of Christmas takes hold.”

Christmas for Keeps (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries)
“Buck Thompson always knew land mattered, and at 25 he bought his first piece of Georgia, his ‘keeper property.’ Over the next six decades, Buck assembled quite a bit of acreage – but now he’s gone, and Luke, the grandson of the man who first loaned him the money, is demanding payment in full. No one in the Thompson family has that kind of cash. Buck’s granddaughter, Avery, who grew up on the family land, will return home from New York City to sort out this mess. A successful lawyer and music manager, Avery launched her business with childhood friend and country superstar Jennifer Nettles. This legal battle is even more complicated than Avery expected; her opposition is a man whose heart she once broke. Just as all seems lost, Jennifer calls in some favors from country music friends. A concert is staged, money is raised and lessons are learned – about how roots run deep and how hearts can be mended.”

Engaging Father Christmas (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries)
“It was supposed to be the perfect engagement. What could be more romantic than a Christmas proposal in a bucolic Vermont inn? Ian has it planned perfectly, or so he thinks. Miranda, an interior designer, returns to where she met Ian, a dashing former attorney who now runs the little hotel in the quaint town of Carlton Heath. After doing some digging to learn about her family roots, Miranda had traced her lineage to Carlton Heath. Though it’s Christmas, Miranda had always done her best to distance herself from the holiday; her mom, an actress, had died while performing a holiday play. Ian has carefully planned every aspect of Miranda’s visit so he could make the most romantic proposal. Too bad the best-laid plans often go awry – even during Christmas.”

Unbridled Love (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries)
“Evil stepmothers don’t only lurk in castles, tormenting helpless children. Sometimes, they’re on ranches, tormenting adults. A year after her father died in a fire at their Oregon ranch — a fire accidentally caused by her stepmother, Mae — Sarah has finally found her footing, turning the family homestead into a successful dude ranch. Still, Mae is pushing to take it over, seeing it as a potential goldmine. Meanwhile, Graham, a Hollywood superstar, wants to use the ranch as the location of his next movie. Sarah isn’t inclined to allow it. During a long horseback ride through the moonlit mountains, Graham explains why this project is so dear to him. That and a soulful kiss make Sarah relent. But all does not run smoothly once the movie starts. Graham and his co-star, Simone, had been involved; Sarah has fallen hard for the handsome star. Still, she won’t allow jealousy to cloud her professionalism. When Simone’s horse runs wild, Sarah saves her. And when Sarah’s evil stepmother, Mae, also runs wild — suing Sarah – Simone, in turn, saves Sarah.”

When God Winks at You (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries)
“This is about true stories demonstrating that God communicates with us, making incredible things happen in our lives every single day. As you read the riveting accounts of everyday and famous people – you will begin to recognize that God winks in your own life, both past and present. Through these tangible signposts from God, we receive personalized messages that reassure us, stop us from worrying, chart our path in life and help us keep the faith.”

Welcome Home Warrior (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries)
“A military widow, whose faith in Christmas has lapsed, rents an apartment to a handsome Army Captain, recovering from an injury in battle, and whose faith in Christmas is inspirational. As they team up to save the town’s military museum with a Christmas fundraising event, these two “wounded birds” find themselves falling in love — and being healed by the magic of Christmas.”
