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 ...

With Her New Lover Jute$, Demi Lovato Celebrates Her 30th Birthday

On August 20, the singer turned 30. To mark the milestone, she was joined by her new lover, musician Jute$. The couple was seen holding hands over the weekend at Santa Monica, California's Giorgio Baldi, a popular hangout for celebrities. In a tiny red dress, black leather jacket, fishnet stockings, and black shoes, Lovato made a statement. While her boyfriend wore a sleeveless spiked sweater and a bucket hat, the birthday lady finished her ensemble with dark sunglasses and a handbag in the same color. Jute$ (real name: Jordan Lutes) posted many pictures of the couple cuddling up earlier on Saturday as a lovely homage to the "Camp Rock" alum. "Happy birthday, little one. I'm the luckiest schmuck in the world because I get to call you mine, and you're a 30-year-old minx," he said. Because ur smile literally heals my depression, making u smile has become my current addiction (there's a song lyric in there somewhere). I'm incredibly proud of you for not just enduring what you've gone through but also for triumphing and evolving into your healthiest, happiest, and sweetest self. And you alone, sweetie. Lovato was described as more than just her "music," "singing," or "beautiful face" by the speaker. "Ur everything," said Jute$. I'm just here to help you and crack dumb jokes as necessary. "I adore you," Jute$ wrote at the end of the lengthy caption. How are you today, @ddlovato? The singer of "Sorry Not Sorry" reposted the article on her Instagram Story with the caption, "I love YOU. Thank you, darling." The adorable social media images were published only a few days after the couple dined out in public for their first time as a couple on Tuesday at New York hotspot LAVO. Page Six was informed by a source that the couple "kept to water only" and held hands as they exited the restaurant. "They were hugging and blowing kisses during their lunch," the report states.
