The King of Kings review – Charles Dickens retelling of the Jesus story does a serviceable job

The famous author tells his son and their cat the story of Jesus in this mixed-bag family animation, voiced by an impressive cast This syrupy cartoon account of the life of Jesus (voiced by Oscar Isaac) is narrated, with consummate weirdness, by Charles Dickens (Kenneth Branagh). It’s in fact based on a story Dickens wrote for his children (and wasn’t published until 1934, decades after his death). The idea is that Dickens is telling the story of the New Testament to his young son Walter (Roman Griffin Davis) and Walter’s impish cat, explaining to the King Arthur-obsessed Walter how Jesus was the real King of Kings and all that. And so we see Walter and Charles, in their mid-19th-century garb, wandering through scenes of JC’s life nearly two thousand years earlier, from the nativity to the crucifixion – much like Scrooge and his spectral buddies in A Christmas Carol as they wander through past, present and future Christmases. It rather drags out what is already a pretty long running ...

Creator Candace Bushnell 63-year-old Sex and the City is dating a 21-year-old male model

Creator Candace Bushnell 63-year-old Sex and the City is dating a 21-year-old male model.  The author of the beloved story about four girlfriends is clearly devoid of prejudice. Candace Bushnell, who gave us Sex and the City, met her soul mate at the Fashion Week show this spring, and since then, according to a social source, "she takes him everywhere with her." And although the name of the fashionable lucky man is not yet known to the press, fans have already appreciated his outstanding appearance - dark eyes, hair styled in a ponytail, and amazing cheekbones. Looking at the 21-year-old handsome man, many understand why the 63-year-old writer could not resist meeting him. However, if you believe the revelations of a close friend of the star, the young man is far from the only fan in her life. A 91-year-old boyfriend also pursues her, and he can clearly compete for the championship with his rival. As we all remember, the main character of "Sex and the City" Carrie Bradshaw, is famous for her passionate disposition and boasts extensive experience in vivid novels. So Candace was probably describing herself a lot. From 2002 to 2012, Bushnell was married to director Charles Askegard, who is ten years her junior. She also dated Spin magazine publisher and Penthouse heir Bob Guccione Jr., Senator Al D'Amato, Talk magazine co-founder, Mr. Big purported prototype Ron Galotti, model Michael Bergin, and British venture capitalist Stephen Morris. She revealed on the Bradshaw Boys podcast that she once even went on a date with John Corbett, who played Aidan on the HBO series but didn't pursue the relationship because he was dating Bo Derek, whom he later tied the knot with.
