Recently Viewed by Macduff....

Macduff has had a lot of time on his hands after defeating Macbeth and it looks to me like he's been spending all of that time to catch up on his Netflix shows! Here's what he's been watching:

  
1. Marvel's The Avengers

This movie is a about a group of "all-star" superheros that team up to help save the world! In the movie the Chitauri are working to invade Earth, in response the Averngers Initiative is launch. During the movie, the Avengers believe that they will not be able to overtake the Chitauri due to their sheer size but of course in the end the good guys find a way to win and protect Earth. Macduff recommends this movie because he related with being the hero of a story and saving the world from evil. And while Macduff takes great pride in knowing he defeated Macbeth he knows he could not have done it with out the help of Malcolm and Donaldbain. This pick reveals Macduff's desire to defeat evil and his ability to work as a team.


2. CSI: Miami

This series is a spin-off the popular show CSI. The show follows detectives working for the Miami Police Department as they solve horrifying murders using physical evidence in a high- tech crime lab. Macduff likes this show because of the team's ability to interpret evidence into finding a killer. Macduff has had his fair share of investigating also. He was the first one to find Duncan after his terrible murder and was able to use the clues from the crime to link it back to Macbeth. Macduff also likes the aspect of bringing the killer to justice, just as he did when he killed Macbeth in return for killing Duncan and his own family. Duncan sympathizes with the families he sees on the show that have lost their family members too.


3. My Girl

This adorable movie is about am eleven year old, tomboy named Vada. Vada lives an interesting life. Her dad's job is as a funeral director so Vada spends a lot of time around death. Her mom died shortly after she was born and her father is distant. Luckily, Vada has Tomas Sennett, her best friend. The two spend all summer together and even share a short kiss. One day Vada loses her mood ring and Tomas goes to find it and is then stung by bees where he dies of an allergic reaction. Macduff loves this movie because Vada learns to cope with the sadness of losing her friend, just like Macduff had to learn to cope with the loss of his family. He even relates to Vada's father as he tries to find love again. Just like him, Macduff, hopes to be able to one day be able to start a family again.


4. That's So Raven

This family friendly series follows a young girl who as the ability to see snip-its of the future. Raven with the help of her two best friends, Eddie and Chelsea, try to change what Raven has seen in hopes of producing a better outcome. This usually fails and almost always Raven's visions come true. Macduff relates Raven's character to Macbeth. Raven is obsessed with the supernatural and constantly trying to change the outcome of events just like Macbeth is. Macduff on the other hand is the person who the "visions" are usually about. Just like the apparitions about Macduff, as hard as Macbeth tried, he couldn't change what Macduff was doing. Macduff recommends this because he finds the belief in supernatural unreliable and finds it humorous how their lives revolve around it, the exact cause of Macbeth's demise.
