The apparent Peter Jackson influence doesn’t stop there. (The heroine even talks to the moth on a rooftop in the opening scene, like Gandalf atop Orthanc.) The only lapse in production values is some glaring CGI, used for a couple of waterfalls and a white moth that seems to have flown in, along with Rhys-Davies and Noble, from The Lord of the Rings. Sets, locations and especially costumes are quite good, with the Persian setting adding some exotic Bollywood-esque flavor to the usual ancient Near Eastern nomad couture. If the success of The Passion of the Christ hasn’t yet sent the Hollywood studios scrambling to produce religiously oriented fare, it’s at least partly responsible for the interest in films like these that otherwise might have gone straight to video.Īs that suggests, One Night With the King, like Facing the Giants, has a distinctly made-for-TV vibe, notwithstanding the biblical film’s visual spectacle and a distinguished supporting cast including Lord of the Rings alums John Rhys-Davies and John Noble and Lawrence of Arabia costars Peter O’Toole and Omar Sharif. One Night with the King, directed by relative unknown Michael Sajbel (whose credits consist of a few films for Billy Graham’s World Wide Pictures) and produced by Gener8Xion Entertainment (the company behind the apocalyptic Omega Code thrillers), comes to theaters courtesy of FoxFaith, 20th Century Fox’s new faith-and-family-values division. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.Facing the Giants was financed by a Georgia Baptist church, then picked up for distribution by Goldwyn. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock.
We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations.
Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area.
