To the students of the Spenser Academy, the Sons of Ipswich are the baddest boys on campus. But that's not all they share. The four friends also share a 300-year-old secret: they're warlocks, the teenage descendants of a 17th-century coven of witches. So when the long-banished fifth son suddenly appears and threatens to kill their loved ones, they realize they must face their enemy in order to prevent him from stealing their powers and shattering the covenant forever.

Killer Presentation Skills is a 90-minute video that will change forever the way you think about speaking in public. Although speaking to a group is reported to be the Number 1 human fear, the truth is a bit more nuanced. The presenter in this video, author, speaker and trainer Doug Jefferys, clearly demonstrates that we only BELIEVE we fear public speaking because our most common behaviors when in the spotlight produce exactly the same physiological responses as when we are genuinely facing a life-threatening event. In other words, whenever our brain senses a potential threat, in this case the classic scenario of finding ourselves “one against many”, the body responds with the same chemical preparations to deal with the “threat” as it does when you blowout a tire at 70 MPH.

I was initially interested in The Killer Inside Me because I'm a fan of both Casey Affleck and Jessica Alba, but I soon became even more intrigued by what I was reading in the early reviews about how brutal it is. And it is brutal. I don't mean the over the top, fanciful gore-drenched brutality of a movie like Saw, I mean the kind of realistic, stomach- churning violence that isn't easy to watch. This movie is definitely not for everyone, as a result. I just thought I'd put that disclaimer out there.

Based on the novel by legendary pulp writer Jim Thompson, Michael Winterbottoms The Killer Inside Me tells the story of handsome, charming, unassuming small town sheriffs deputy Lou Ford. Lou has a bunch of problems. Woman problems. Law enforcement problems. An evergrowing pile of murder victims in his West Texas jurisdiction. And the fact hes a sadist, a psychopath, a killer. Suspicion begins to fall on Lou, and its only a matter of time before he runs out of alibis. But in Thompsons savage, bleak, blacker than noir universe nothing is ever what it seems and it turns out that the investigators pursuing him might have a secret of their own.
