Church People Movie Review (Momentum Influencer Network)

Many thanks to Collide Distribution for providing a sample of the product for this re view. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation.

 

I watched Church People, in exchange for honest review from Momentum Influencer Network. The first part came in patchy. I tried both  the pc and kindle but it would not play smooth. I tried again on the pc and it worked. 

The movie is about Guy Sides, ta youth pastor. Guy became known for a gimmick, but got tired of the gimmicks in church and wants to bring back the pure gospel in the church. His pastor, Skip Finney, is the king of gimmicks, and created an "interesting" gimmick for Good Friday, which doesn't go over well with Guy and Skip's daughter. The gimmick includes one of Guy's kids in the youth ministry, who recently gave his life to Christ. 

Guy's manager, played by Donald Faison, is money crazy, and wants Guy to use more gimmicks. 

Can Guy stop Skip, while also spreading the love of Christ. Is the pure gospel of Christ enough to bring people into church? Does the church have to rely on gimmicks to draw people in?

I loved the movie as the movie progressed. Definitely went through a range of emotions especially when the scene involved Pastor Skip. The ending----can't wait for you to see it. 

You can rent or buy the movie on Prime Video, Google Play, Vudu, The Apple Store, and more. Church People is also available on DVD.

Tiger Rising Review (Momentum Influencer Network)

 Disclaimer: I received access to this movie, in exchange for honest review

I watched Tiger Rising, in exchange for honest review. The movie is about a little boy, Rob, whose mother has died.  Rob and his father move to a hotel in a new area and Rob has to attend a new school.  Discovering a tiger in the woods, helps open him up emotionally. He also meets a girl named Sistine (like the Sistine Chapel), who is also new to the area and school. Both are getting picked on by other students.  

Official Synopsis: 

Queen Latifah and Dennis Quaid star in this beloved tale based on the New York Times best-selling book by Kate DiCamillo. When 12-year-old Rob Horton (Christian Convery) discovers a caged tiger in the woods near his home, his imagination runs wild and life begins to change in the most unexpected ways. With the help of a wise and mysterious maid, Willie May (Queen Latifah) and the stubborn new girl in school (Madalen Mills), he navigates through childhood memories, heartache, and wondrous adventures in this heartwarming adaptation.

Rob definitely has an active imagination in the movie. 

Queen Latifah plays a hotel maid. Katherine McPhee plays Rob's mom in flashbacks. Dennis Quaid plays Beauchamp, the angry owner of the hotel. Quaid is not as mean as he was in Goliath, playing Wade Blackwood. Real men do business in Tigers.

The movie was excellent. It definitely tugs on your heart strings. I definitely loved the aerial views of the trees.

You can watch Tiger Rising on Prime Video; Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube. You also can watch in a theater

Pure Flix A Show About Anthem Lights Episode 8 Review

Disclosure: Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a temporary subscription for this review. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 

I received a subscription to Pure Flix in exchange for honest review from Momentum Influencer Network. I was chosen to review Episode 8: Flutey Influencer. The show was created by Affirm Originals. New Episodes will be released, every other week. 

Pure Flix offers clean, faith-based, family-friendly movies, shows, and documentaries. 

First things first, I love the short episodes, which is great for my attention span. The show is about Anthem Lights navigating their way through stardom--from figuring out the algorithm to deciding what music to make.

Episode 8 focuses on Anthem Lights coming up with a new gimmick to attract new fans. Some of the ideas are interesting. Anthem Lights rival, The Handsome Knights, also starts their social media journey to become influencers. 

Can't forget about the interesting song, Baby baby Baby Hey baby lol. I loved watching the series and can't wait until a new episode is released.
