Zoey 101: Defending Dustin (2005) Season 1, Episode 4

Don't let a school bully harass you.

[2/10 · 20 August 2022]

When I first saw this episode, I really felt sorry for Dustin. Having a school bully making him do his homework assignments is just wrong. I've been a victim of bullying in high school and I didn't know how to deal with him. If I were in this episode, I would confront Dustin's bully and say to him, "Now see here Keith, you better stop bullying Dustin right now or you're going to face dire repercussions. So put a stop this bullying now and leave him alone!!"

Everybody Loves Raymond: Ally's F (2004) Season 9, Episode 5

Math is only hard if you don't understand it.

[10/10 · 10 August 2022]

You know, I can understand that Ally had a hard time in math class and was furiously angry at the teacher. Math for me back in high school wasn't my favorite class at all but I didn't have any excuses of not attending and no matter how tough and challenging the math schoolwork and homework, I didn't give up. Why? Because I paced myself and didn't overwork myself. And at the end of it all, I managed to get good grades.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Pride goes before a fall.

[10/10 · 1 June 2022]

Of all the characters in Revenge of the sith. There's one character that I found interesting and almost felt sorry for. The character is Anakin Skywalker. As soon as Anakin became a well trained Jedi, there was one thing that he wanted and that was become a Jedi master just like the others. But as the council members rejected him, he became extremely angry and outraged. And felt he felt like that was unwelcomed and worthless. Then he did something that was strictly forbidden and that was making a pact with the dark side and soon enough, he allowed the forces of evil to consume his mind and corrupt him. By the time evil overpowered him, it was too late. He lost his friendship with Obi-wan and his beloved wife. The ultimate demise of him was that he had his legs and arm destroyed and ended up burning in lava. And became the infamous villain, Darth Vader. So if there's anything that we can learn from this movie and that don't let our egotistical behavior get the best of us and don't let evil influences ruin our lives.

Married... with Children: What Goes Around Came Around (1990) Season 4, Episode 18

Revenge is never a good thing.

[10/10 · 30 March 2022]

I understand that Bud Bundy was humiliated by a girl in the 6th grade and wanted revenge very badly. However, I completely disagree. Revenge is never a good thing at all. It only cause more pain and suffering. I myself have been treated badly a few times and never thought about getting revenge. Instead I turned the other cheek. As for Bud Bundy being humiliated, he could've dealt with the girl in a better and decent way like tell her what she did was wrong and tell her that she should apologize for what she did to him. As the old saying goes, "What goes around, comes around." In other words, Karma!!

Pandemic (2007)

Be prepared for any future pandemic.

[10/10 · 23 March 2022]

Regardless of whether if this movie is only fictional or not. The bottom line is any dangerous pandemic like Covid-19 should be taken seriously. When the Covid-19 pandemic began escalating out of control, some people fortunately managed to recover. And the rest unfortunately died of the pandemic such as my primary health care physician. Now don't think of this movie as entertainment. Think of it as future preparation. Fortunately I myself have taken extreme caution by wearing a mask and sanitation plus I've been fully vaccinated.

iCarly: iPsycho (2010) Season 3, Episode 17

Never attend a birthday party that includes a crazy person.

[10/10 · 19 February 2022]

I myself have attended a number of birthday parties in the past and none of them had a crazy person. As for Carly, Fred, Sam. They should've known better not to attend a birthday party hosted by a crazy person. If I did attend a birthday party hosted by a crazy person and held me hostage. Here's what I would do. I would quietly take out my tranquilizer gun and shoot the person more than once and watch the person collapse on the floor and I would immediately cuff the person and immediately call the police and let them deal with the crazy person. Lock the person up.

Always try your best to be honest.

[10/10 · 13 January 2022]

My philosophy about being honest with others goes like this, "Honesty is the best policy." And for Roseanne and David, they did a lousy job of being honest with Dan. There should be no excuse for being honest.

Marissa Benson is a overprotective and controlling person.

[10/10 · 4 January 2022]

I'm really glad that Marissa Benson isn't my mom. Because if she were, she would be controlling me 24/7. I mean no disrespect towards her but she's a controlling, overprotective manipulative person. If I had to confront her. I would say to her, "Mrs. Benson, I mean no disrespect towards you. But you're obviously a controlling, overprotective and manipulative person.

Confirmation (2016 TV Movie)

Sexual harassment is no laughing matter.

[10/10 · 20 December 2021]

There's a number of things that I would like to say about this movie.

1. I was 4 years old when this confirmation took place and the allegations against Clarence Thomas.

2. I came to realize that sexual harassment is no laughing matter and it should be taken seriously.

3. If I were a US Senator and heard about the allegations against Clarence Thomas, I probably would take sides with Clarence Thomas.

4. This confirmation of a supreme judge reminded me of another person who was nominated to the Supreme Court as well and had allegations against him. Brett Kavanaugh. His accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accused him of sexually attacking her. And like Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh denied the allegations and said that he didn't do anything.

5. I've encountered false accusations. It wasn't sexual harassment or sexually assault. It was something else. Despite the accusations, I moved on.

The Young Messiah (2016)

Jesus Christ is indeed the messiah.

[10/10 · 4 December 2021]

The messiah, the promised one sent by God who will redeem the world and the human race. Whether you're Jewish or Christian. When you have a firm belief in that Jesus Christ is the messiah, you got to hold tightly in your belief about him and don't let anyone tell you different. Look at what miracles he has done such as giving sight to the blind raising the dead back to life life and so on. But of course, you're going to have to friends of a different religion who'll disagree. Such as the Jewish people. The Jewish people themselves have their own views and beliefs on what the messiah will be. They don't want to hear that Jesus Christ is the messiah. Because they believe that he hasn't fulfilled any of the prophecies promises of the messiah. But I still believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah.

Unplanned (I) (2019)

Abortion is wrong. Pro life is the right decision.

[10/10 · 21 October 2021]

After watching this movie, I came to realization that killing a unborn child is wrong and it's better to be pro life than kill the unborn children. As a Catholic Christian and a knight of Columbus, I cannot and will not be silent. If I could have President Joe Biden and his running mate to see this movie, the movie itself would convince them that abortion is wrong.
