			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just finished &#8220;I am Legend&#8221; by Richard Matheson, I expected it to end differently and be different from the movie.  What I didn&#8217;t expect was that it would be a total rewrite of the original story.  It was a good book and I like the movie much more than book.  I sure hope that Richard Matheson doesn&#8217;t get upset about that.</p>
<p>I have to give Will Smith lots of credit for making that movie and delivering on that story.  I can see why it was rewritten for the American public, we like our heroes to live and crush the enemy.  They also made the story much more heart warming and tender.  I don&#8217;t know if that was for the women that would be watching the movie with their husbands or because it made it a better story.  I am going with the better story.</p>
<p>See the movie!  It is fantastic!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WOW, and I don&#8217;t mean the game.</p>
<p>Can I say <strong>wow</strong> again? I just got home from watching &#8216;<a title="The Dark Knight" href="http://thedarkknight.warnerbros.com/" target="_blank">The Dark Knight</a>&#8216;. I have to give you some background at this point. When I was about 12 or 13 my father introduced me to the comic books that he was reading, which happened to be Ironman and Superman. I quickly found that I liked other characters.</p>
<p>I landed squarely on Batman and I hit that spot hard. I became a huge fan and started reading every Batman comic book printed every month. He became an ideal, a dream, and Hero. In some ways, I grew up with him.</p>
<p>I was very critical of the 4 Batman movies made with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney. None of them lived up to the Dark Knight of the comics. Michael Keaton came close with his grim approach and so they are okay. The last 2 don&#8217;t exist &#8211; at all.</p>
<p>Batman Begins was a great start and addition to the Batman of my youth. The Dark Knight continues that story and really shows the non-fanboy the true face of Joker. No offense to Jack Nicholson; but he just wasn&#8217;t it. My wife was creaped out by Heath Ledger&#8217;s performance. I have to say that I was <strong>very</strong> impressed.</p>
<p>I give it 5 Stars.</p>
