Thank you! I’m looking forward to it

Thank you PollyannaMom and Imzadi for the Signed, Sealed, and Delivered heads up. Now that thankfully my DVR issues are resolved, I will definitely record at least one of them.

So sad but possibly true about Hallmark wanting people to pay for newer or more choices of movies I just don't understand why Country at Heart, for example, has to be on almost every single week! I will take a look at the movie tonight

And, if you're looking for information on it on IMDb the original title was Romance on the Menu. It was filmed pre-pandemic (finished up in Dec 2019).

Me too. Unfortunately, I think Hallmark is saving many of their older, better movies to show only on the Hallmark streaming app. I guess they want them to feel like they are paying for some extra, better content.

There was a movie from about 4 years ago I really liked. It was an Amish themed movie, An Uncommon Grace. After it's initial premiere and re-airing, they stopped showing it on Hallmark. A couple weeks ago, I saw a commercial for the app and there was the movie, "showing exclusively" on the app. (I thought, "So that's where that movie went.)

They also did that with my all time favorite Hallmark Movies & Mysteries series, Signed, Sealed & Delivered, which I mentioned a couple times. It disappeared off HM&M for YEARS even though they re-ran other series in infinity. It only came back to HM&M last summer and is finally airing again.

I get that those of us who watch the channels get the movies as they premiere and during it's first run re-airings. That's our perk. But Hallmark doesn't seem to realize or maybe care that WE pay a LOT for cable TV, (those of us who haven't cut the cord yet) to have Hallmark & HM&M included in our package. Certainly a lot more than some of the streaming services added together. It would be nice if WE got more to watch than just the 2 hours on Sat & Sun evenings and the 10 weeks of their Christmas season. I would definitely watch more movies during the week if they aired more and better movies they DO have. Maybe they don't care if we don't watch during the week?

So while I was looking for a movie today I found an uncommon grace on my prime video -hallmark channel for free thanks for the good idea

Tonight's new Hallmark movie was filmed on location on the outskirts of Quebec at the Hôtel de Glace. It is constructed completely of ice.

Hallmark had filmed another movie at the same ice hotel a couple years ago. I find the concept of the ice hotel fascinating, although, I wonder if I'd really be able to step inside, or actually sleep in it. I think I'd always be worried that someone left a hairdryer running and the walls melting and I'd be stuck in a cave in.

Although, according the lead actor, Steve Lund, in this article, it was an extremely cold experience filming:

“Oh, my goodness yes, this was a truly cold experience,” [Steve Lund] laughed during an exclusive chat with MediaVillage. “It was the coldest I've ever been, like to my core. Like the kind of cold where you need to take a hot bath at the end of the day … no matter what time it was, just to regulate your temperature. "It was like negative 20 Celsius, so cold that we needed to have electric socks and undergarments," he continued. "In-between takes we were running indoors to find warm refuge anywhere and thaw our lips before going out and trying to deliver an emotional line so that our faces wouldn't freeze. It was a truly, truly, frigid time.”

That’s a far cry from Lund’s previous Hallmark adventures like Christmas Incorporated (2015) and Best Christmas Party Ever (2020). "I've done ‘Christmas as Christmas’ movies shot in July, trying to be December,” he explained. "[Because] it’s July, we’re usually in the middle of a heatwave. So, we're wearing pea coats, scarves and mittens. It's equally as difficult to try to act when you can feel a steady stream of sweat rolling down your back, but this movie was a new type of cold."​

Here's a sneak peek for of the Hallmark movie, Baby, It's Cold Inside:

Tomorrow, the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel is doing a marathon of a series that usually airs now on the UP-TV channel, although it originally premiered on Hallmark. It's kind of a Little House on the Prairie type of series. Michael Landon's son, Michael Landon Jr. directed the first four movies in the series. It's the Love Comes Softly saga, set in the 19th century, based on a series of books by Janette Oke.

It starts with Love Comes Softly, filmed in 2003, with a very young Katherine Heigl (before Grey's Anatomy.) Then the series continues with an older Heigl, as the family gets older, and onto other women in the series.

The series starts at 10am ET, with HM&M showing 6 of the 10 movies.

Here's a preview. (Hopefully the movies will be better quality than the preview.)

Just posted this in the kindness thread. Hallmark Summer Movies (Begin June 5th) Have any of you read the book Sand Dollar Cove is based on? It's by someone named Nancy Naigle? At first glance that movie, to me, (maybe) sounds the best of the bunch.

There's one coming up this weekend on Hallmark I think called Sweet Caroline, looks like it may be a tear jerker at times

Wow, that never crossed my mind, lol. I watched the other Ice Hotel movie about a wedding and I thought it was beautiful but I cannot imagine the kind of cold that must be. We've done the ICE shows which are at big hotels across the US and usually is geared toward kids, like Peanuts theme or Grinch theme. I'm ready to go after about 25 minutes so no way would I be able to sleep on an ice bed in an ice room....etc. Yikes.

Thanks for posting the link. The second movie with Eloise Mumford sounds good too. I've liked her past Hallmark movies.

I haven't read the book, but yes, Sand Dollar Cove sounds like it will be good too. I don't think Chad Michael Murray would pick a dud to be in.

 

[Imzadi]

Wow, that never crossed my mind, lol.

Yes, it's funny and weird the things the brain can come up with faced with a possible phobia of being trapped inside an ice hotel.

no way would I be able to sleep on an ice bed in an ice room....etc. Yikes.

Yes, that's another thing. When one starts to freeze to death, isn't one of the symptoms that they start getting really sleepy? How can one tell the difference between the two? Nope, nope, not doing this either.

She said this movie also has a lot of light an levity to it too.

Wow! I had to look and see when Lacey was Bianca Montgomery as I was a loyal AMC watcher back then and I know I would have seen her as Bianca back then.

Apparently Lacey was only Bianca for one year. (There were 7 actresses who played Bianca over the years.) It was a year before Party of 5. Maybe she left AMC for it? I don't really recall her as Bianca.

Tomorrow night there are competing shows at the same time on Hallmark & HM&M. Or you can consider it a two-fer if you record one for later.

The new season of The Good Witch starts on Hallmark.

While on HM&M, there a new installment of Jesse Metcalfe's series A Martha's Vineyard Mystery: Poisoned in Paradise.

Here are interviews of the stars on set:
