Breakaway DVD

Book Description

Everywhere You Go, There You Are

When you were young, you were told, “You are special!” and were encouraged to become anything you wanted. The future held unlimited options. But then life happened. And now you look around feeling, thinking, looking, and acting basically the same as the next guy. You can’t help but feel trapped and hemmed in. Unfortunately, many try to break out of the suffocating sameness by making the same bad decisions over and over again. This Breakaway DVD and study guide are designed to renovate your thinking by illustrating four core beliefs that dictate the decisions shaping the outcome of your life. This study will help you break out of the crowd and away from bad patterns for good!

Break out of the crowd.

None of us sets out to be like everybody else, but it happens. Life begins to squeeze us into a mold until one day we wake up feeling trapped and hemmed in. Unfortunately many people think that the answer is to run away, but they only end up making the same bad decisions over and over again. So how do you break the cycle and break out of the crowd?

The Breakaway DVD is designed to renovate your thinking by exposing you to four core beliefs that have the power to change the trajectory of your life. Intended for use in a personal study or in small groups, Breakaway will illustrate how our core beliefs dictate our decisions which dictate the outcomes of our lives. Sessions include:

A Way Out

God Only Knows

Red and Yellow, Black and White

Avoiding the “Mine” Field

Something’s Up

Reality Check

In addition to containing the original series messages, this DVD is enhanced with six curriculum study sessions that can be used for small groups or individual study. Each session includes 15-20 minutes of teaching followed by several discussion questions.

Story Behind the Book

Andy Stanley is the senior pastor of three North Point Ministries campuses, with a cumulative congregation of more than twenty thousand. Much of the brokenness he sees in the lives of his congregants results from the herd mentality that makes them feel completely blah. He often hears comments like, “Life is just more of the same, only with more candles on my birthday cake,” and, “Even my problems are the same as everyone else’s—from dealing with debt to my marital problems. There’s nothing unique about me.” Culture has shaped and molded the zest out of life, and this DVD and study guide are designed to open the door to freedom!

DVD and Study Guide companion.......2007-03-15

As I sat down with Breakaway I grabbed my study guidebook and settled down in my chair for a sermon. I was pleasantly surprised, however. Once Andy Stanley began to share, I realized that I wasn't being preached at--rather I was being challenged to not conform to things in the world. I was encouraged to stand firm for Christ and break away from the groups of peer pressure and wanting to 'fit in'--to be different and stand out in a crowd in a good way, in a way that would show Christ to those around me.

Breakaway takes you on an inward journey that you'll never regret having traveled. Starting from looking at where you are at in your life at this time, Stanley guides you towards breaking away from all the things that bind us to earth while still teaching you on how to invest in the things that are most important that we, as Christians, should strive for.

Accompanied by a written study guide, this DVD is packed with six sessions that will change the way you think and show you have to allow your beliefs be to be the basis behind every decision you make from here on out.

Armchair Interviews says: A message that challenges.

Description

Morgan (Dean Cain, TV's "Lois and Clark") is a suspended Chicago cop about to play a deadly game of cat and mouse with a professional thief, Jimmy Scalzetti (Eric Roberts, National Security). When Scalzetti and his team take the city's most exclusive mall, Morgan's wife is one of the captives. While Scalzetti attempts to locate the mall's vault, said to hold over $12 million in cash, Morgan must outthink the trigger-happy gunmen. With time running out, the hunt is about to turn deadly. Erika Eleniak (Under Siege) co-stars in this pulse-pounding thriller.

Not good, but tries.......2006-12-14

In this movie (produced for cable network TBS, when it was still a superstation), Dean Cain stars as a Chicago cop who accidentally
kills a Chinese businessman, and gets suspended. But, however,
a team of robbers who are trying to rob money from a mall, puts
Cain back into the game, taking his wife (Erika Eleniak), another
mom and her two kids hostage, before Christmas nears. Has a few
lessons in between, but not so good as we thought it would be.

You film buffs should know:

There is a poster for "The One" (Sony, who distributed this,
owns the producer of that film).

Die Hard Knockoff.......2005-10-06

While I must admit that I love Dean Cain and miss Lois and Clark desprately, this movie was a bit unoriginal. Think about it:
1)"Rouge-ish" cop
2)wife is a hostage
3)crooks after millions of dollars in a high tech safe
4)Christmas time
5)"rouge-ish" cop runs around, avoiding bad guys but picking them off, single handedly

Tell me that doesn't scream John McClain.

LAST MINUTE SHOPPERS.......2005-02-16

If you have been dying to see a ritzy mall decimated, blown up, shattered, broken, etc., then BREAKAWAY (where in the world did the title come from?) is your cup of egg nog. A lot of noisy, really noisy, action scenes fill the screen, and being in a mall, just think of the things you get to blow up or shatter: store windows, tvs, mannequins, mirrors, etc., etc. And it's even better because it's on Christmas Eve in Chicago. A man whose son is dying of leukemia wants to steal about 10 million dollars so he can get his son the 250,000 operation. What does this kindly father plan to do with the left over money? Open a clinic? The movie is implausible as all heck, but it's done with such fervor and kinetic energy, you find yourself getting caught up in it, knowing how implausible it is. Dean Cain seems to be having a good time in his Bruce Willis impersonation and Erika Eleniak is lovely to look at and is certainly improving as an actress. Eric Roberts fills the thief's shoes nicely, but one has to ask if he will ever make a "real" movie ever again; he seems to get stuck in these made for tv or straight to video thrillers. Another annoying aspect of the film is that being a tv movie, we get the commercial breaks, and the time between these segues is unusually long, even for a DVD.
I enjoyed my 90 minutes with this movie: it has a lot of action and Cain and Eleniak are sympathetic, but the drunken Santa was a misfire, and the ending was a little too extended, aside from the fact that it tried to make us feel sorry for Eric Roberts, despite the fact that several people got killed because of his actions and we won't even mention the destruction of property. But, heck, have a good time with it; you'll forget all about it the next morning.

Good for a TV-movie........2003-10-19

This is a good movie, yet it does have a lot of DIE HARD type stuff in it. In the movie Dean Cain has to stop Eric Roberts from robbing a mall, but he's doing it to save his son. It has some good action sequences and a good ending. There really isn't much wrong with this movie. Watch it.

Not Bad, Just Ordinary Action Film.......2003-08-27

Though I gave only two stars, this made-for-TV film is not as bad as you expect from that rating. It gives always something to watch, but ... just look at this story, OK? A Chicago cop Lt. Morgan (Dean Cane) finds himself trapped in a shopping center where a group of theives try to steal the money. And his wife (Erika Eleniak, a girl jumping out from a giant cake in "Under Siege") is also trapped there; and the time is Christmas. Does that sound familiar? The situation is directly from one famous Bruce Willis action classic, and moreover, Morgan tries to get in touch with another cop outside the place to tell what is going on, by cell phone this time, not radio.

The hackneyed plot, however, is not to blame; actually, the film is mildly engaging. But the lack of new touch (and money perhap) in action scenes is felt too obviuosly. There is some original things about the film -- a hired Santa with a small bottle hidden in sleeve is one of them -- but they just pass by without being impressive nor effective.

The actors are not bad. Dean Cane plays a guy to whom we can easily relate, but more surprising is Eric Roberts (Julia's brother, well, just in case you forget), who should be given much better materials than here. His 'villain' betrays our expectation, showing more humane side than Allan Rickman's often thatrical mannerism. After all, he is an Oscar-nominee, and is really a good actor. It's just people forgot about that. A shame.

Not bad as you may imagine, and above average as made-for-TV film, "Breakaway" is good for a rainy day afternoon. Excuse me for giving rather unkind review, though, because I expect more from these two actors, who could do better.
