Entangled: For Everything There is a Key with Harris the III

Saw a great film called “Entangled: For Everything there is a Key”…

Harris the III is the star of this unique drama which mixes both Dramatic film elements of an Illusionist and his apprentice, with real footage of a stage presentation by Harris the III. 

The overarching elemental theme of this film is deception and lies.  Are we being duped?  The truth that is portrayed in this film, from the dramatic to the stage, was that even when we do not know it we may be being duped.  “Adam had the whole garden, but yet he kept reaching for the Illusion of MORE”…. This is an amazing quote.

Harris the III as an illusionist is able to take the simple vase and ball trick or the rope trick that every 10 year old learns and turn it into a masterfully choreographed show. 

This film also shows truth and deception in a way that my children understood.  They were all fascinated by the tricks and the story.  And when you kids range from 4 to 11 that takes a lot!  (Scary thing is that 3 of them want to now be ‘tricksters’ as my 6 year old put it!!  That could be costly…. 

As I child I grew up around illusionists who came to churches.  I met multiple ones who were very famous.  I even learned multiple seemingly expensive tricks.  But as this show portrays you may know the secret of the illusion but without practice of your performance it will not amount to anything. 

This is one film that I would HIGHLY recommend!  Oh and by the way if you are an aspiring magician you can sign up for ‘Illusionism’ and learn from Harris the III some of the arts of Illusion.  So HARRIS THE III if you are reading this, this poor papa of 6 kids would LOVE to enroll their kids!!!  HAHA!!

Final point to this rambling: Many of you know my family, if not read back through this blog.  We believe in God’s call to us as Christians: Of reaching the poor, of missions, caring for the orphan and the widow, and of evangelism… These themes are LIVED by Harris the III who speaks to his career and success; yet God called him to sell his house and live a simpler life in order to help others!  Also in the Bonus Content he has an element/video entitled Truth where he gives a beautiful story of what God has done for all of us! 

THIS FILM will be a great tool to witness, and to help to start a conversation with your friends, neighbors and family!

Thanks for living and preaching the message!

Escape DVD Review

Received a free copy of Escape with C Thomas Howell and John Rhys-Davies.

first here is what the distributers had to say:

Doctors Paul and Kim Jordan are struggling to find peace in their lives after the tragic loss of their baby's life. Paul (C. Thomas Howell from The Amazing Spider Man, ET) persuades Kim to escape reality and flee to the exquisite islands of Southeast Asia. Paradise becomes a nightmare when he is kidnapped by human traffickers in need of a skilled doctor.

Faced with a fight for survival, Paul finds himself captive alongside the wealthy Malcolm Andrews (John Rhys-Davies from Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings). He quickly realizes there is no hope for his captors dying leader and is forced to examine his eternal fate. With life and death in the balance, Malcolm challenges Paul to stop running from God. Will Paul realize that trust in God is his only hope for escape and reunion with his wife?

Pure Flix has had many films over the past few years from Brother White to Encounter to Jerusalem Countdown and many more.
this film was another step up in every area.

First thing that caught my eye was the great photography. This movies production value took a giant leap in quality.

Second was the actors. From a LOTR actor in John Rhys-Davies to Pony Boy Curtis from the outsiders tthe films actors did a great job.

Finally the script was very solidly written as well.

Our main characters find themselves after a tragic loss leaving everything they have to do doctor work in the villages of Thailand.
One day a young boy comes to the clinic and Howell follows him to a so called emergency.  He soon finds himself kidnapped to help some local pirates.

The story carreans from there into a suspensefil drama that is not the norm in Christian cinema.

Be sure to pick up a copy and help support GOOD christian Films!
