I am legend prequel on the way

Variety has reported that Warner Bros is on their way to making a new I am Legend film. I loved this film and was absolutely obsessed with it in the weeks following my seeing the film. I thought the storyline was great and fueled my love of post-apocalyptal and apocalyptal movies. In short, i thought it as one of my favorite films of 2007. So, today when Variety reported a prequel has been announced to it, i was ecstatic and still am. Hope this one ends up being a good one, bringing back Francis Lawrence to direct, Akiva Goldsman and James Lassiter to produce, D.B. Weiss to write a script based of the aforementioned names plans, and of course Will Smith to star.

"Fringe" Review

I recently watched the pilot of the new J.J. Abrams show, "Fringe" and was thoroughly impressed. Going into the episode, I had no idea what the series would be about. The show follows an F.B.I. agent forced into working with a scientist formerly held in a mental instituion. Together they undercover strange and unusual phenomena, helping them to solve mysteries and crimes. It may sound cheesy but it was awesome. There were surprises in the storyline around every turn. But a great story isn't great unless executed well on screen. "Fringe" did just that. The J.J. Abrams style truly came through making every ending to a commercial break, eerily intense with sharp instrumental stringing. I am a huge fan of Lost, so expect a lot out of Abrams, and this show pulled through. Check it out on fox.com

September 11, 2001

This post's a little long but bear with me here.

We all remember the day. Where we were, what we were doing. I was at school. My mom took me out early. She and my friend's mom who also took her kid out of school both seemed panicked, as if they knew something we didn't. But at that moment i was happy, I was missing school, and that's all that I knew. When I got home, my au pair said there had been a plane crash. The t.v. was on with the news, but i was really young and didn't think much of it. I thought it was just a plane crash. I would later find out what had happened. A plane had hit the World Trade Center, first one tower then the other. Another plane had hit the Pentagon, and a plane had crashed in a field. I didn't really understand that last part, so different from the rest. I now know with age the courage of those on that flight, Flight 93, of those emergency workers in Manhattan, and of the entire country to come together to help one another after this tragic event. We would never let any terrorist cowards get to us. Just like we never will. Thank you to all of those courageous fighters of September 11, 2001 who have helped preserve the freedom of America. Thank you to those that today are fighting for the American dream. Rest in Peace to those freedom fighters that are no longer with us.

For the last few months, a young boy named Mikey in my area has been battling a brain tumor and as of late, he was doing better. However, today we received the horribly tragic news that he passed away. Mikey, you will always be remembered for fighting and staying strong. Throughout you have stayed positive, and you are my hero and will always be my hero for doing so.
