(Summit Entertainment, 2013)Main Point: Betrayal ruins friendships because it shatters trust. If we truly love someone, friend or family member, we should never betray them in any degree. The Movie Clip:Based on a true story, 12 Years a Slave offered great insight into the issue of slavery by focusing on one man and his quest to be free of...
The Walking Dead Season Two opener wastes no time in amping up the excitement level as the survivors get trapped in traffic and face an onslaught of walkers. The episode is appropriately titled ‘What Lies Ahead’, because there doesn’t seem to be a definitive direction for the group after the CDC went up in smoke.
The drama between characters is rapidly headed towards a boiling point as well, and frankly I’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner given the
The Walking Dead Season One ended up with a bang (literally), as the survivors find temporary refuge in none other than the CDC. I was bummed that they didn’t make a two part episode out of this one, as the plot lined seemed a bit rushed, and it would have been cool to spend more time with the Dr. Jenner and pick his brain for more info.
But alas, the CDC runs out of gas, and of course a facility like that is fitted with a self-destruct protocol to keep diseases from getting out. I was watching the episode thinking, “hey- why didn’t they load up made a few more gallons of diesel fuel instead of
(Paramount, 1994)Main Point: Jesus chased us one-by-one with His perfect love. We should chase our friends one-by-one with His love, as well. The Movie Clip:Forrest Gump needs little introduction. The iconic character conceived in the early 90’s – and who was responsible for Elvis’ dance moves, the leak of the Watergate Scandal, and so much more – still dominates...
Do you ever wake up with a grim view of life?
After watching Season 1, Episode 5 of The Walking Dead, I’m sure I will wake up happy for quite a while knowing that I’m not facing what Rick, Lori, Shane, and all the others had to go through after the surprise attack from the night before.
This episode took some very interesting twists as we see the survivors deal with the shock of loss, the grief process, and the rapid change that needs to take place in order for them to
If the power grid was shut down and world was crawling with zombies… would you look at your watch?
Dale does, and I’m sure Walking Dead fans could have hour-long discussions about his intentions. Is he grasping for control in an otherwise chaotic world? Or is he simply holding on to a memento passed on to him?
This episode offers a moment of insight about it, when Dale and Morales have the “watch discussion” (not quite as good as a certain Christopher Walken watch moment, but good nonetheless).
How much are you willing to sacrifice… for your enemies?
This week, we see exactly how far Rick Grimes was willing to go for someone who didn’t deserve it.
But really… do any of us deserve it?
The episode started with a much more sentimental moment… no, not the much needed haircut that Lori gave Carl, rather the much anticipated reunion between Rick and his family. That moment was the most touching scenes in the series so far- even the music obeyed the sentimental vibes! Not what we expected from a zombie apocalypse show, right?
We also were introduced to Merle’s brother Daryl (you can almost hear the swoons across the country), and we got confirmation that the only way to
