A Vineyard Romance
Original Air Date: September 5, 2021
Starring: Rebecca Olson and Marcus Rosner
Story-line via UPtv: When Seattle magazine writer Samantha Hart is sent home to write an article about the wedding destination of Hawthorne Vineyards, she discovers the ex who broke her heart not only runs the vineyard, but he’s about to get married there.
Review:
🌞 "A Vineyard Romance To me Marcus Rosner is the male equivalent of Cindy Busby - very hit and miss. I've seen him in a secondary role in many Hallmark movies and although he has moved to taking the lead role most of these are for other productions. He really shone through here though and I don't think I've seen him looking so well in a long time. It helped that my favourite plot is that of sweethearts re-united and although there is nothing here that you won't have seen before Rebecca Olson - whom I don't recall seeing before - complemented him perfectly, the chemistry was great and their interaction made this seem fresh and capivating. I loved the banter between them, the familiarity yet awkwardness evident from the start. The secondary cast was good too - it was so funny to see Liam's best man trying to pluck up the courage to ask Sam's old school friend out on a date but bottling it at the last minute and coming up with some inane question! It was nice too that Liam's fiancee was really a good person. The plot was well constructed and the production excellent - the scenes where the working of the winery were explained I found very interesting. One of those unexpected little gems that UPtv has come through with this year which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks" - Florence
🌞 "What a sweet movie from UPtv! This felt very much like a Hallmarkesque rom-com, and I mean that in the best possible way. I loved the beautiful setting of the Hawthorne Vineyards and the fact that magazine writer Samantha Hart (Rebecca Olson) is sent back to her hometown to write a story about a big wedding, which ironically, ends up being for her ex-boyfriend, Liam Hawthorne (Marcus Rosner). I thoroughly enjoyed this clean, romantic story… Rebecca Olson and Marcus Rosner had wonderful chemistry together on screen. The dancing was fun, and I loved the awkwardness between the two as Samantha “Sam” gradually convinced Liam to let her interview him for the article. While it’s quite obvious the two still have strong feelings for one another, nothing happens while Liam is still engaged. This family friendly movie is a definite keeper for me!" ~Net

Love in Translation
Original Air Date: September 12, 2021
Starring: Michelle Argyris and Corey Sevier
Story-line via UPtv: Linguistics Ph.D. student Julie Walters can speak almost every language and believes that languages are best learned when doing fun activities like taking a painting class, hiking or visiting a Museum. When Dan, the handsome curator at the museum Julie dreams of working at, contacts her about French classes, sparks soon fly – could this be the perfect match?
Review:
🌞 "I watched Love In Translation for the second time and enjoyed it even more. A simple but sweet love story. Corey Sevier is a favorite since watching Mr. Write, but I am not familiar with his co-star. Plan to keep this on my DVR." ~kitkat

Romance in the Wilds
Original Air Date: September 26, 2021
Starring: Kaitlyn Leeb and Victor Zinck Jr
*Note: Romance in the Wilds is available on DVD at Amazon - *click here* - and it's the first part of two movies, followed by Christmas in the Wilds, also newly available on DVD at Amazon - *click here*! (I'm hoping this means UPtv plans to air Christmas in the Wilds, too, but we will have to wait and see!
Romance in the Wilds - Story-line via UPtv: Deep in the Rocky Mountains, lightning strikes a mining site, sparking a deadly wildfire and igniting an unexpected romance between a forest ranger and a geologist as they race to escape the flames.
Review:
🌞 "This movie is definitely different than the usual rom-com; it’s a true action-packed adventure set in the Rocky Mountains with two people thrown together in a life and death situation – as they try to escape a deadly wildfire recently sparked by lightning at a nearby mining camp. Buck Thompson, (played by Victor Zinck Jr.) as the local forest ranger, warns geologist Jessica Alaway (Kaitlyn Leeb), just before flames take away her work-site. She is able to get her dog Charlie and her important work before they set off to safety… which ends up being much harder than they thought. Buck, Jessica, and Charlie (the dog) work together through many terrifying obstacles. It is also mentioned that Buck served two tours in Afghanistan, and as they are trying to escape, he is dealing with PTSD over losing his military K9. Overall, Romance in the Wilds is a captivating movie, it’s intense, but not too scary, and minus some wildfire type explosions/violence, it is family friendly!" ~Net
