Little Hero Ant-Man Full Trailer

Ant-Man may just not get any bigger for Marvel and Disney. Marvel is gambling on bringing out Ant-Man after such successes as Avengers Age of Ultron. They recently resurrected Daredevil on Netflix. Hopefully it will be better received than the original movie starring Ben Affleck was. Now a gamble with Ant-Man, one of Stan Lee’s heroes that many have never heard of. Gamble or not I am looking forward to it. The updated full trailer that was released today gives a bigger look into the little hero. Ant-Man played by Paul Rudd hits theatres July 17th. This trailer gives a bit more of the back story of Scott Lang aka Ant-Man. The film takes the life of a petty crook and transforms him into a tiny superhero. Not only are you introduced to Ant-Man but you will also get your first glimpse of the nemesis Yellow Jacket in action in the new trailer. Marvel has become known for their teasers both in the trailers and the movies themselves. This new trailer does not dissapoint. As someone that grew up reading Marvel comics, I cannot wait to see what they have in store next. View the new Ant-Man trailer here: How about you: Are you a Marvel movie fan? Will you check out Ant-Man in theatres? Would love to hear your thoughts on the trailer.

Do You Believe? Movie Review

Do You Believe takes 12 lives on separate paths that all converge at the foot of the cross.

Pure Flix films has once again made a movie to make Christians and non-Christians alike, evaluate and ask themselves the question “Do you Believe?” Undaunted by the reviews that came out earlier this week from the mainstream media, I took my family to see the movie.

Nonetheless, the movie began with a series of events that took the lives of 12 people and converged them toward the cross. There was the pastor (played by Ted McGinley) who is the thread that seems to bring all the lives together. He encounters a gentlemen Malachi(Delroy Lindo) in the street dragging a wooden cross, who challenges him in his belief in the cross. This chance encounter sets the story into motion, as the pastor encounters lives that are struggling.

The film is full of stars of years past that have performances that may bring them back to theatrical relevance.

His role intertwines with others in the movie, bringing others to decide if they

However there are some great lessons we could all learn from. Lessons Learned from the Battle of the Five Armies “Thorin. You gave a promise.” – Bilbo Baggins- the innocence of Bilbo is challenged as we are when someone goes against their word. No matter how big or small, dwarf or man, a promise is a promise. “The town is lost save the gold” – the greed of money is many times held even above that of humankind. We can look in our own lives to those business owners, churches and even in our own families. Humankind many times will worry about how much they can save rather than how many. “If more of us valued home above gold, it would be a merrier world.” – In a word where the mighty dollar represents power, it also brings pain. We forsake what is right, moral and good just to make more. If we valued the things at home, like love, family and comfort the world would be a much happier place. “If this is love, I don’t want […]
