#TheShack is out TODAY + Giveaway



The Shack
Director: Stuart Hazeldine
Writers: John Fusco (screenplay), Andrew Lanham (screenplay), William P. Young, Wayne Jacobsen, Brad Cummings (novel)
Starring: Sam Worthington, Octavia Spencer, Tim McGraw
MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for thematic material including some violence

A grieving man receives a mysterious, personal invitation to meet with God at a place called "The Shack."

THE SHACK, starring Sam Worthington, Octavia Spencer and Tim McGraw, is available on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand today, Tuesday, May 30! The story is heartbreaking, powerful and thought provoking.

Could you forgive a monster who ripped your heart and stole the life of an innocent child? I'm sure your answer will be NO, as did Mackenzie. See, his youngest daughter, Missy, was abducted during a family's vacation and killed. Ever since, he became resentful with God, not wanting to do anything with him. As God has left him in suffering pain.

The story goes on, when Mack takes an unforgettable journey that will change his life forever. He comes across the very God and challenges his thoughts. God makes Mack see that no one is perfect, therefore, no one should judge. But the most challenging request of them all? To forgive the monster that killed his daughter. Would you?

The Shack is very provoking. It reaches out to a generation of people losing touch with God and encourages them to reach for Him. It digs deep and it makes you cringe your beliefs. It's not for everyone but if you love a good story about faith, redemption, and spiritual growing, then you should check The Shack out.




Starring Sam Worthington (Avatar, Hacksaw Ridge), Academy Award® winner Octavia Spencer (Best Supporting Actress, The Help, 2011) and country music superstar Tim McGraw (The Blind Side), The Shack takes us through a father’s experience learning the ultimate truth about love, loss, and forgiveness. The Christian movie event of the year, this “powerful and gripping” (The Dove Foundation) film has been awarded the Dove Faith Friendly Seal of Approval.

 Based on The New York Times best-selling novel, written for the screen by John Fusco (The Forbidden Kingdom) and Andrew Lanham (The Glass Castle) & Destin Cretton (The Glass Castle), and directed by Stuart Hazeldine (Exam), The Shack takes us on a father’s transformative spiritual journey. After a family tragedy, Mack (Worthington) spirals into a crisis of faith and questions God’s existence and life’s purpose. Mack is unable to move on, until he gets a mysterious invitation to an abandoned shack. There, God reveals Himself in the form of three strangers led by Papa (Spencer). Mack’s journey will transform audiences of all ages, in this movie that you will want to watch over and over.

 The Shack home entertainment release will feature audio commentary with director Stuart Hazeldine, five featurettes, and a deleted scene. The featurettes include a look at the development of the book with author William Paul Young in “Touched by God: A Writer’s Journey”; a conversation with the filmmakers, cast and theologians to discuss the movie’s depiction of God in human form in “God’s Heart for Humanity”; the music video for the song “Heaven Knows” by Hillsong United, the in-depth “Something Bigger than Ourselves: The Making of The Shack” featurette and a look behind the scenes of the premiere in “Premiere Night: A
Blessed Evening”. The Shack Blu-ray and DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $39.99 and $29.95, respectively.

HIDDEN FIGURES is the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.


My thoughts. Last movie screening of year! Good to close on a high note. Merry Christmas!

There are not enough movies that families can watch together. There it is. I said it. Time and again, I have sat in a theater wishing I was anywhere else.  And just as often, my kids have fallen asleep in a theater because they hated a film I made them attend. I admit that pleasing the entire family is a difficult equation to solve.  As the product of worthwhile biopics and entertaining story-telling, Hidden Figures yields a great movie time. Did you see what I did there? It's a movie about math. Okay, enough kidding around. 

Hidden Figures is phenomenal. It really is the kind of movie that everyone should see. It is true blue All-American history about our shared experience, for better or worse. It's the kind of history that no one is going to read about in schoolbooks, but everyone should know. I brought both of my tweens to see Hidden Figures and all three of us loved it. 

The story of early space travel is always interesting. Hidden Figures tells the story most people think they know, but shows it from a different perspective.  It holds a very timely message.  The film is captivating, uplifting and hopeful.  It is a must-see movie.

The ensemble cast was wonderful. I can't remember when I liked Taraji P. Henson as much as I liked her portrayal of the brainy Katherine Johnson. Octavia Spencer (as Dorothy Vaughn) and  Janelle Monáe (as Mary Jackson) both give strong performances in their companion title roles. The ensemble, including Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons and Kevin Costner, are also perfectly cast. 

I appreciated the pacing and direction of the story.  The two-hour run time flew by. I liked that the audience was given an opportunity to get to know each of the title characters. None of it felt forced, or rushed or extra. The characters, the saga, and the sub-plots were all balanced beautifully. 

It's a great movie for young girls to see.  It's great for young boys, for older boys, and for women of all ages. I can't imagine who wouldn't be served by the hopeful theme of Hidden Figures. Take a group and go see it. You will not be sorry. Hidden Figures opens in limited release on Christmas and nationwide this Friday.
