Seven Pounds - The Ultimate Horror Movie

Jan 26 | Seven Pounds - The Ultimate Horror Movie

My daughter invited me to a movie yesterday afternoon...Will Smith...how could you go wrong? But I can't get that movie out of my mind and the horrifying conclusion is stuck in my head and keeps playing over and over like a skipping record. There are no monsters sneaking into bedrooms in the middle of the night or terrors stalking the woods. The horrifying aspect of this movie is its reality and its humaness.

Follow up:

This is not a movie for children...but please, please take your teenagers or plan on renting it to watch at home with them. Sometimes the only way to protect our children is to show them the horror of unintended consequences. The beauty of a young soul is its eternal optimism and surety that all young people have that nothing bad will ever happen. But bad things do happen to very good people. And if seeing this movie can protect one child from making the mistake of Ben Thomas...then they will also be saved from his fate.

Sue Waite-Langley | Western Regional Manager | Successfully completed Creative Tutors' Advanced Training Program.

Meet Sue Waite-Langley | Western Regional Mgr.

Ms. Waite-Langley brings a unique perspective to Creative Tutors. Educated at the University of Connecticut where she received a BS in Finance; Susan brings over thirty years of diverse professional experience in business management, financial planning, marketing, technology, and fundraising. While her early business experience was in technology sales, she most recently has been involved in many child related activities including working as Business Manager for a small private school and local dance studio and countless hours of volunteer work in support of public school dance programs in the DFW Metroplex. A widow with two grown stepchildren and two daughters attending the University of Utah, Sue is uniquely aware of the varied educational demands and needs of children. She states it best: "The public school system is geared today for the average learner. Exceptionally bright children and children who require extra help in order to progress academically are left out. We stand to lose half of our children...some through boredom and others to frustration." Her vast professional knowledge, coupled with her personal conviction to meet the educational needs of all children, is a true asset to Creative Tutors. In addition to her work with Creative Tutors she is involved with the Utah arts community and is a passionate family genealogist. Sue currently fills the position of Corporate Compliance Officer and has relocated to Salt Lake City to take on the additional responsibilities of Western Area Regional Director and Manager of the Northern Utah Territory.
