Awesome wallpaper for Kirk Cameron’s epic film Monumental, on the history of America’s Founding.
Kirk Cameron’s epic film “Monumental“, distributed in theaters by NCM Fathon, has become the biggest event in the history of Fathom events!
And that’s huge, considering that Fathom was the organizer of a “Twilight” one-night event that showed all three of The Twilight Saga films back-to-back-to-back and consistently shows big events on the bigscreen, from boxing matches to UFC fights to re-releases of classic films to Opera, Symphony and popular band concerts.
If you haven’t heard of Kirk Cameron’s Monumental before (you arguably have, considering all the press Kirk Cameron got after his Piers Morgan Tonight interview), then you definitely owe it to yourself to check the film out.
Here’s a Kirk Cameron’s Monumental trailer:
Subtitled, “In Search of America’s National Treasure”, Monumental is a faith-based film that is presented, produced and starring Kirk Cameron (of “Growing Pains” 80s sitcom fame, and now a born-again confessed Christian evangelist, who’s still producing movies & acting) in a unique documentary that follows Kirk as he seeks to discover the truth behind America’s founding, and the people, places, and principles that made this the greatest and freest, generous and most prosperous nation in the history of the world.
The film asks important questions like:
What formula did they [U.S. Founders] discover? What motivated them to come here in the first place? More importantly, how can we apply these same foundational truths today?
Here is Kirk Cameron discussing the Monumental film indepth!
“Long regarded as ‘the land of opportunity,’ there’s no question the tiny band of religious outcasts who founded this country hit upon a formula for success that went way beyond what they could have imagined. How else can you explain the fact that they established a nation that has become the best example of civil, economic and religious liberty the world has ever known?”
Monumental is heralded as “inspiring,” “beautifully executed,” “powerful,” and “one meant to teach.”
Monumental is still going strong and still playing in select theaters at select times thanks to its monumental (pun intended) success and the fact that it has broken Fathom records and is still in high demand.
While you are out seeing The Avengers and awesome new and upcoming flicks like The Dark Knight Rises, Men In Black 3, The Amazing Spider-Man, Ice Age 4, Prometheus, Madagascar 3, Dark Shadows, That’s My Boy (starring Andy Samberg & Adam Sandler), Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Disney Pixar’s Brave, Chernobyl Diaries, Battleship and all the rest…. Why don’t you think for a moment about putting your money into a movie that REALLY matters and really needs your support?
Because of that little fact, I am hoping to be able to afford paying to see Monumental on the big screen while I still can.
And if you do miss the movie, be sure to pick up the home video release on DVD when it hits stores July 2012! You can also pre-order Monumental on DVD now! :)
The millennial Batman saga comes to a close in The Dark Knight Rises on July 20, 2012
The Dark Knight rises hits theaters on July 20th, 2012 and is sure to be one of the biggest films of ALL TIME.
The film marks the third and FINAL entry in Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed, record-breaking, billion-dollar-earning Batman film franchise reboot following The Dark Knight (2008) and Batman Begins (2005). And is sure to be a fitting end to what amounts as one of the finest film-entry superhero franchises of all time and one of the greatest comebacks of all time following the 90s Batman series and its ever downward spiral.
Of course, the Batman series needs no introduction, as virtually everyone and their mother, father, grandmother, grandfather and little baby Jake have seen The Dark Knight and are well-familiar with the late-great, Heath Ledger and his memorizing portrayal of Batman’s key villain, The Joker (a role that would be one of his last before his untimely drug overdose). Ledger died during the editing of the film and it stands as his penultimate hallmark.
(Although Heath Ledger’s final film would be “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”, a film he did not complete as his passing came during the filming of it, and he was only a third of the way through his role. As such, actors Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell stepped in and performed transformations of Ledger’s character as he travels through a dream world in the film.)
Because of Heath Ledger’s death (or despite of it), The Dark Knight became infamous and the film opened to the biggest haul in box office history, slashing records and setting new benchmarks for both superhero films and films in general. It is the eleventh highest-grossing film of all time and went on to gross over a billion dollars, grossing theater sales in total of $1,001,921,825 (that’s billions). It is the third highest grossing movie of all time in the United States, behind only Titanic and James Cameron’s Avatar. The Dark Knight was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won for Best Sound Editing and Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger’s performance of The Joker, the first posthumous award given since since Peter Finch in 1976.
Can The Dark Knight Rises top that? We’ll find out soon… Here is the last and final trailer for The Dark Knight rises. (which I won’t watch… I refuse to see any trailers and I know virtually nothing about the film. So I’ll be going into it with completely fresh eyes! :D)
