Kill Bill: Vol. 2 -- UNIT 2: In this unit, Rev. Dr. John Tweedie takes you through the Holy Land in the footsteps of Jesus and His first followers. Join him as he explores how God's promise to Abraham was fulfilled, in one sense, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, events which had a profound impact on one of Christianity's most determined opponents, Saul of Tarsus. Discover how Jesus and Saul (the Apostle Paul) became instrumental in rekindling the flame of individual hope amid the pagan darkness of Roman rule over Israel. Learn how the concept of a 'Messiah' or 'Christ' figure developed in the ancient world and how Salvation, as Christians understand it today, is yet another gift that came to the world through the Jewish people.

A nightmare come to life, Adam "The Spiker" Brandis is a massive pink-eyed albino and a maniac killing machine whose physical endurance borders on the supernatural.

When a group of local teens decide to camp out at an abandoned house, they are attacked by The Spiker and discover a web of terrible secrets hidden there.

The names ricochet through Western lore. Jesse James (Brad Pitt) was the most notorious outlaw of his time, wanted by the law in 10 states yet celebrated as a Robin Hood in newspapers and dime novels. Teenaged Robert Ford (Casey Affleck) idolized Jesse, sought his friendship, rode with him. It wasn’t enough. The up-and-comer wanted his shot at fame. And when he got it, he took it. Pitt gives a volcanic, charismatic performance as Jesse in this saga of celebrity and obsession adapted from Ron Hansen’s historical novel by director Andrew Dominik (Chopper). “They’re all lies,” Jesse says of the stories surrounding him. A deeper, more human truth awaits in this ambitious and stirring epic film.

Burgade, now retired, wants nothing to do with gunslinging. Provo resorts to kidnapping Burgade's daughter, Susan. He threatens to rape and kill Susan unless Burgade comes out of retirement. Out of options, Burgade dusts off his revolvers and goes on the trail of the murderous Provo.

An eager recruit into James' notorious gang, Robert Ford eventually grows jealous of the famed outlaw. When Robert and his brother Charlie sense an opportunity to kill James, their murderous action elevates their target to near mythical status.
