TV Movies to Watch on this Historic Kentucky Derby 🏇 and Royal Coronation 👑 Weekend!

Happy First Weekend in May, Everyone!

This Saturday, May 6, 2023, is the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby. It's nearly time to run for the roses! Some of my momma's family comes from the state of Kentucky, so hearing and singing along to the words of "My Old Kentucky Home" is a cherished tradition for us. Next to the song, the second thing I look forward to on Derby Day is seeing all of the incredible fashions, with the gentlemen in their flamboyant, colorful suits and the ladies in their beautiful dresses and stylish matching hats. In the top image above, actress Rhiannon Fish looks appropriately dressed for an event like this with her wide-brim tea party-style hat and polka-dot sun dress. Although her new film has nothing to do with horse racing, I'm hearing this movie is filled not only with your typical Hallmark-esque romance, but a lot of comedy and amusing antics... all while looking stylish, of course!

Speaking of style and tradition, there will certainly be plenty of both at the coronation of King Charles III, also taking place on Saturday, May 6th. If royal-type movies are your cup of tea, to celebrate this event, UPtv will be airing on Saturday a movie marathon of their most popular royal-themed films.

☀️ SHINING HIS LIGHT ☀️

"Who is he, this King of glory?

The Lord Almighty—

he is the King of glory."

~Psalm 24:10 (NIV)

☀️🌸 Hallmark Adds New Movie "When Love Springs" to May Lineup! 🌸☀️ See Here:

Rhiannon Fish (A Picture of Her, A Splash of Love) will lead off Hallmark Channel's new movies in May with the premiere of the Nicely Entertainment movie, "When Love Springs" on Saturday, May 6th, at 8pm/7c.

"When Love Springs" Movie Synopsis: With a big promotion on the line, junior PR professional, Rory Richards, 32, (Rhiannon Fish) heads to a quaint B&B on Lilac Lake with her parents and sister. The reason for the trip: a vow renewal at the spot her parents first met. While there, Rory runs into the ex who broke her heart, Jason, (Callan Colley) and his new girlfriend. Panicked, Rory pulls the B&B's future owner, Noah, (James William O'Halloran) onto her arm and pretends he is her new boyfriend. Noah has problems of his own. The B&B is failing, and his father is ready to sell. To save his family legacy, Noah has invited bigtime travel blogger Penny Traverse to review the place, but he’s not ready. With her PR background, Rory suggests she help them prepare in exchange for Noah acting as her fake boyfriend. Rory and Noah work together to ready the B&B and between this fake couple, real sparks begin to fly.

So, this new movie has the whole, please pretend to be my fake boyfriend movie trope. I know that story has been done a lot, but sometimes it ends up being amusing and enjoyable to watch, like in Holiday Engagement, A Boyfriend for Christmas, A December Bride, Holiday Date, A Paris Proposal, etc. After reading the movie plot above and watching the trailer, which I've included below, the story gave me a familiar feel of Lacey Chabert and Carlo Mark's movie, Moonlight in Vermont, which also includes the fake dating scenario at a family-owned inn, while trying to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.

See if you get the same sort of feeling with this trailer of "When Love Springs":

(video may take a few seconds to a minute to load depending on your connection speed)

I think this movie has potential! Rhiannon Fish has been known to be fun and playful in her previous rom-com movies, so this one could be cute. What do you think? Please share your thoughts in comments below.

Have a blessed Spring day!
