The Christian Post recently spoke with Christopher Michael, who stars in the new movie "Hardflip." Michael has had a lot of experience in the acting business, but this marks the first time that he has played a homeless man.

"One of the biggest challenges for me," Michael told CP, "was that we were working on location, sitting and acting in an alley. It's very different from being in a sound-proofed studio. You have to keep doing it over and over again for sound effects, and I had to get myself worked up for the emotional scenes."

Michael plays Ralph, a man the lead character, Caleb (Randy Wayne), meets along his journey. Caleb must learn to be a good man and embarks on a journey to find the father he never knew. Ralph is there to provide insight and the Word of God to Caleb as he makes his way in the world. more >>

The federal government will earn future profits off of an upcoming film about the early life of Jesus' mother Mary, backed by popular Lakewood Church pastor Joel Osteen.

Drug trafficker Jorge Vazquez Sanchez, who is currently under indictment in the U.S. on federal charges for money laundering and extortion, has agreed to hand over his 10 percent of future profits for the "Mary, Mother of Christ" film under the terms of a new plea deal, according to The Houston Chronicle.

Vazquez's business partner Mauricio Sanchez Garza and another Mexican businessman, Arturo Madrigal, reportedly obtained the script for the film in 2006 and resold it to Aloe Entertainment.

Welcome to the Whedonverse my friends! Joss Whedon the Buffy producer has created a film that will move even the non-geekiest folks to get their geek on… (And yes, I'm one of the geeks. For example, I know the name of Thor's Hammer…"Mjollnir"…Yikes!)

Six superheroes who you would think have zero reason to be working together are forced to unite in the face of a threat that's too big for any one of them to handle. So throw in sarcasm slinger Stark, silver tongued Thor, old school patriot Captain America, stone cold assassins Hawkeye and Black Widow, and top it off with some HULK SMASH! – and you've got yourself a movie that causes one to simply marvel in amazement.

And as an added treat, The Avengers also features one of the better bad boy villains we've seen on the screen in a while. Loki, the loco bro of Thor, definitely does not stay low key in this film. His smoldering angst ridden expressions and goth rock star look (except for the reindeer helmet) make an impressive show of eeeeevil and villainy. more >>
