The King of Kings Movie Review and Giveaway

 

The animated film The King of Kings is now streaming on Angel.com and the Angel App and available to all Angel Guild members. 

There is a brand-new film released recently on Angel.com. It’s called The King of Kings and it’s a cartoon based animated film touching on the teachings and life of Jesus. I personally watched it via my Fire Cube device and the streaming was incredible. This film was in 4K quality and wasn’t blurry and it was very clear the entire time. And for this being a Christian based production I was pleasing surprised that it was so high quality and looked amazing. The film wasn’t cheesy or anything in that regards. I really enjoyed the message behind the film and how it was a strong introduction to the life of Christ. 

The film begins with Charles Dickson is reciting his story of the Scrooge to an audience. When his son, Walter and his cat stop the production of the play while trying to perform a reenacted of King Arthur. Instead of punishing him, he takes a different route thanks to his wife and tells him the story of Jesus. He begins with the birth of Jesus, discussed his miracles, his betrayal and resurrection. The film is very PG rated and the only violence kids will see is mark-lines on Jesus from the after effects of Jesus being beaten. Kids can’t really see the punishment that Jesus took its sort of censored in a way. Later they can see the nails marks near his hands but even that is a clean version. I liked how they didn’t make it too violent for kids where everyone wouldn’t have to worry about what is being seen. They will get to watch the scenes unfold of Jesus entire life it covered all the big events and miracles. My favorite one was probably the one of the women and go and sin no more. This was done in a way kids could understand without making it too adult. 

 

The film voiced high paying actors and actresses throughout the film. These included Kenneth Branagh (Thor and 2015 Cinderella), Mark Hamill (Star Wars – Luke Skywalker), Pierce Brosnan (James Bond), Forest Whitaker (Star Wars Rogue), Ben Kingsley (Iron Man 3), Oscar Isaac (Star Wars, X-men Apocalypse, The Addam’s Family, and The Nativity Story), James Arnold Taylor (Best known in Star Wars Clone Wars voicing Obi-Wan Kenobi). There were tons of voicing that people will recognize from the Star Wars films. Two of my favorites were in this movie. I have always enjoyed Mark Hamill and Oscar Isaac in his roles. I think having the powerhouse lineup will help lure kids into the story of Jesus. They are also estimated that this film has outdone other cartoon films. It has surpassed the popular 1998’s Prince of Egypt. It raised over $19 million just in the opening weekend. This film will go down as another popular film that will be rewatched again and again. 

Another discussion we need to have is the story behind Angel Guild. They seek only positive messages that are Christian based and that can amplify the light. Becoming a member allows you two free theater tickets to upcoming shows, discount on merchandise, early access to steaming new movies, voting for your favorite projects, and much more. All the films are made in Angel Studios. Some of the movies enclosed, Young David, I Can Only Imagine, Homestead, The Last Rodeo, The Shift, Like Dandelion Dust, Green and Gold, Vindication, and with much more being released. The two free tickets incentive I believe will cause people to want to go to the movies even more and support the films. I checked my area and there is showing at my local theater so you can probably find it as yours. There is also a special feature allowing members to share a special link to the movie to others. This is mind blowing that in a world of streaming this Christian based encourages watchers to share the message for free with others and it's unlimited. When all of other streaming apps discourage you from sharing without paying them, this one allows you to share. This can allow unbelievers to heard the message of the Gospel thru their inspiring films.

Your Worshipfulness, Princess Leia: Starring Carrie Fisher by Jeff Ryan Book Review

In Your Worshipfulness is about Princess Leia and how Carrie Fisher became the face of Star Wars. This book is written like an autobiography using interviews and stories. He shared how from the first movie we see Leia as someone who has hope. This is the thing that keeps us holding on when bad luck hits us. The book revealed her first audition for the role and how George Lucas had an act of making people feel like they didn’t get the part. He struggled with choosing who would play Leia he couldn’t get an image in his head. He didn’t know who he was looking for. George’s friend, Fred Roos kept trying to direct him towards picking Carrie who he met at a soiree. She ended up getting the role eventually. In the book, he walks readers through the different scenes and films she was in. The book also discussed her mother, Debbie Reynolds and how she was successful woman and grew her career. The book looked at Carrie’s dark secrets with drugs and mental illness. It touched on how she passed away and the legacy she left behind. 

 

 

This book was an excellent read about her life story and how she became the actress that we all know and love. I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is a fan of Star Wars and they enjoy watching Carrie on the big screen. It gave a behind the scenes look at her life that people may not be familiar with. It provided information that I haven’t read before about her life and background. Readers will get a taste of who she was as a person.

A Dog Named Mattis: 12 Lessons for Living Courageously, Serving Selflessly, and Building Bridges from a Heroic K9 Officer (The Perfect Gift for Dog Lovers and People in Law Enforcement) by Mark Tappan Book Review

 

 

 

In A Dog Names Mattis, Mark Tappan went over 12 lessons he learned while being a Georgia law enforcement officer and having a K9 dog. Some of these included go all in, keep your eyes on what matters most, pride is the enemy, be strong and courageous, and much more. In the book, he opened up the book by sharing a terrifying story about in pursuit of a criminal. A suspect driving a BMW with Florida tags was fleeting. The driver didn’t seem to care about others safety. They were running red lights and speeding. He was calling off the chase when another officer spotted that they wrecked the vehicle near North Point Parkway. He explained how he made the choice to try and stop him near a guardrail. The suspect jumped and he almost made the jump but grabbed back on. He had already hit the secret button on his belt to release the door on his vehicle which will in turn let out his dog Mattis. Mattis made the jump after the suspect and this event almost cost him his dog’s life. He goes into great detail about this event and what happened after that. 

 

 

 

In the book, he discussed the different training methods they use for their K9 dogs. He also started an Instagram showcasing videos of the training sessions. He touched on getting a chance on staring on the American Top Dog. This show was a K9 show that they competed on to win money for their department. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is curious about how the K9 unit works and you want an insider look to the program. It was very eye opening and revealing to read about the training and how difficult they must train the K9 to hunt, search, and stop suspects. The stories at times from the field will leave you on the edge of your seat to see how they all play out. I enjoyed reading this inspiring book and believe others will too.

The Sex Talk You Never Got: Reclaiming the Heart of Masculine Sexuality by Sam Jolman Book Review

 

 

The Sex Talk You Never Got, Sam Jolman has written a book to try and help men to embrace their sexuality and rediscovering their heart. The book shared stories on how parents taught their children about sex and how some didn’t. One study in 2017 revealed that 70% of 18 to 25 years old wish their parents would have gone over sex and romance more. He explained how as man our sexuality is in trouble and it’s being neglected. Many people feel they must hide their sexuality and that it is a burden. They feel shamed for being sexuality. Evil has warped our perception and has twisted God’s desire for human sexuality.   

 

 

He takes the approach that our sexuality is a gift that is meant to be blessed. God stated that it was good on day six but sin eventually entered the world. In the book, he explored what is sex and how it is intended to be playful. He compares it to the stage and how it follows a script. He clarified that our bodies go through different arousal cycles and it like a story following the plot and climax. He looked at scriptures and how a king spotted Isaac and Rebekah playing together. He goes into the Song of Songs and how these poems are testimony of love. He helped readers to see how sex is meant to be pleasurable and not just for bringing in new life into this world. He shared how they suffered a few miscarriages and when they had a focus to get pregnant it was robbing them of pleasure. The playtime was lacking. He touched on being humble and serving one another in the bedroom. And learning how to be better lovers. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book discussing our sexuality to all men who are confused and they feel ashamed for having sexual thoughts and desires. Sex was meant to be pleasing and bring us closer to our lovers. This book has the power to help readers to recheck ourselves and find out what the true message of sex we should be receiving. I appreciated how he touched on the topic of shame and tried to help men realize the truth about sexuality. I think this book is a good lesson in reminding parents on how to discuss sex and sexuality. Maybe even teach them a new approach.
