Solo! Did You Get Your Tickets Yet?

So, I know most of my Disney friends are already aware of the new Star Wars movie coming out this month.

It's the story of Hans Solo and how his character came to be the historic figure we now know and love.

But one thing you might not know is that Fandango is offering some fun items and events if you buy your tickets through them.  One of the items available is a **FREE** collectible poster.  It's free while supplies last.

I always love going to new Disney movies, and it makes it even more exciting when they give away free promotional items and collectibles.  To secure your free poster, click on this link or on the picture above!

Paul, Apostle of Christ - New Movie on the Life of Paul Comes to the Nation's Theaters This Week!

Let me introduce you to two men - Paul and Luke.  You probably already know them.

Paul was an Apostle of Christ.  His letters were vital to the spreading of Christianity in the years following Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.  His writings now compose a majority of the New Testament.

Luke was a physician and disciple of Paul.  It is said he probably came to the saving knowledge of Christ through the teaching and friendship of Paul.

The new Andrew Hyatt movie, "Paul, Apostle of Christ," documents the close relationship between these two men.  The Director has based his film on Biblical accounts and Scripture.  Here is the official trailer:




Films like these are often hard watch because of the extreme suffering and abuse early Christians went through when the Church was born.  But, we must them watch in order to remember, learn, and love the world around us.
The Holy Spirit breathed great promise, wisdom, and knowledge through these two men.  Paul, Apostle of Christ focuses on Paul and Luke's sharing of Jesus' message of love, redemption, and forgiveness.  They shared it with a new church who, in turn, shared and spread it throughout the world.  We can thank these two men for the Church we so love and adore today.



Please watch the video below to see how Paul and Luke's story is still relevant to today's Church:

Paul, Apostle of Christ will open Nationwide the week before Easter on Friday, March 23.  It is rated PG-13 for violent content and disturbing images.  To purchase tickets, please visit the movie's website.

I hope you will join me this weekend to watch this very important film.  Christians are showing America that we can hold an important key to Hollywood box office sales.  No longer do we have to be recipients of violent films, horror films, or other dark, anti-Biblical material.

This past weekend's surprise box office draw of, "I Can Only Imagine" shows Hollywood that if they will produce Christian-based and family-friendly films, audiences will show up in droves.

Please help support more family-friendly and Bible-based films.  Come see a film about a man that went from becoming the most notorious persecutor of the church to its most powerful proponent!  Two men, bound together in their love for Christ.  Leaving their final message for the world - "Love is the only answer."

See you this weekend at the movies!

*Many thanks to Propeller Consulting, LLC, Collide Media Group, and Columbia TriStar Marketing Group, Inc. for providing tickets to see the movie on its release in exchange for this promotional post.  Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation.

BBC EARTH’S ‘WILD AFRICA’ AT FERNBANK MUSEUM’S IMAX® THEATRE

Fernbank Museum of Natural History is now hosting BBC Earth’s next world-class nature film Wild Africa in its five-story IMAX® Theatre.

Narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, the enchanted film takes viewers on a spectacular ride across, over, and through the magical realms of the most dramatic continent on earth.

Showing through Thursday, May 19, Wild Africa’s audience will be plunged into fantastic places and meet amazing creatures. The film’s journey follows the iconic wildlife that lives throughout this diverse wilderness — from snow-covered mountains to coral cities, from raging rivers to steamy rainforests, and from wide-open savannahs to scorching desert dunes.

Through the magic of cinematography, the audience flies along the Great Rift Valley following the twisting rivers to discover a family of elephants on their epic search for water. Hungry crocodiles wait at the water holes for the annual wildebeest migration on the savannahs of the Serengeti. Families of mountain gorillas frolic in the forests of Rwanda. Thousands of flamingos perform an extraordinary display in the volcanic Lake Bogoria. And a shovel-snouted lizard performs a thermal dance to defeat Namib Desert’s harsh temperatures.

In a final epic giant screen experience, the movie chases the great rains of the African summer storms that annually bring life to this magnificent continent.

This is one of the most ambitious nature films ever to premiere on the giant screen. It fuses Hollywood techniques with the best in nature filmmaking and storytelling. The production team worked with camera and housing specialists, such as Gates, RED, and Element-Technica to create bespoke kit specifically for filming in highly challenging conditions not previously attempted – underwater, 100% humidity, temperatures of over 120 F, and altitudes of 19,000 feet.

Filming over 573 days, with 30 shooting locations across 13 countries, there were 2.4 tons of camera kit in 130 cases and 1000 feet of cabling required to capture the images as the camera surged over Victoria Falls.  Some of the key locations included the Okavango Delta, Botswana; the Red Sea, Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt; Crystal Mountains National Park, Gabon; Lake Bogoria National Reserve, Kenya; Masai Mara National Park, Kenya; Mount Kenya National Park, Kenya; Suguta Valley, Kenya and the Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia.

Wild Africa is co-directed by Emmy-winning Patrick Morris (LIFE, Yellowstone) and Neil Nightingale (Walking With Dinosaurs) and Giant Screen director Mike Slee. Nightingale also produced the film. Wild Africa is inspired by the BBC Earth Films and Reliance Entertainment original film Enchanted Kingdom.

Wild Africa shows daily at Fernbank’s IMAX® Theatre and also shows Friday evenings during Martinis & IMAX. For exact show times and to watch the trailer, visit www.fernbankmuseum.org/experience-imax.

IMAX® tickets are $13 for adults, $12 for seniors, $11 for children, and $8 for Museum members and can be purchased online at fernbankmuseum.org or by calling 404-929-6400.
