Do You Like Prison Break?

I was watching Transformers last night and did I mention before that I have a habit of wikipedia-ing everything that I watch? Yup, I always wikipedia shows to briefly read through what the show is about and the name of the characters inside. So as I said, I was watching Transformers yesterday and I find one of the cast in Transformers so vaugely farmilar and I realise he is the series cast of Prison Break. So I quickly wikipedia him and read through Prison Break plot and etc…From what I remember, I used to watch Lost in Channel 5, till I got so irritated with the suspension, I stop watching season 2 and Prison Break is the series that open me up to watch more US shows.
Micheal Scofield (Wentworth Miller) commit a crime so that he can go into the jail to save his only brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) who was accused of killing the Vice president’s brother. Micheal imprinted the structure of the prison on his body as tatto and together they try to escape out of the prison.  In prison, Michael befriends the prison doctor Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies )when he pretends to suffer from Type 1 diabetes, in order to gain daily access to the prison’s infirmary. The brothers’ fight to ward off the execution is aided by their lifelong friend Veronica Donovan, who begins to investigate the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. However, they are hindered by covert agents, members of an organization known as The Company. The Company was responsible for framing Lincoln, and they did so because of Lincoln’s father, Aldo Burrows, and his former connections to the company. The brothers, along with six other inmates who come to be known as the Fox River Eight, escape in the season finale.

A show that I will definitely rewatch again and again. I can’t emphasize how smart Michael’s plot was. People need to watch it to understand what I am talking about. I remember discussing this show with Poly guys classmate, all of them tell me only Season 1 is good and the rest are BS. However, I disagree with them after I watch finish all seasons. Season 1 is really Prison Breaking when Michael tries to break out of the prison in his own way. Season 2 is mainly about how they disguise themselve to prevent being caught by the police. Season 3 Michael was send back to a prison to break out one of the prisoner in that jail after being threaten by ‘The Company’ of Sara and his nephew’s life. Season 4 is about how they try to take down ‘The Company’Main reason why people think that Season 1 is the best cause it’s mainly about how Michael tries to break out of the prison and the rest of the season vaguely covers that (except for season 3) But I still find the whole show good because of it plot, so people who don’t agree with me, SHOOO!

The entertainment Industry In Modern Life

　　The entertainment industry generates hundreds of billions of dollars each year in revenue. However some market analysis reveals a steady decline over the last decade or so. Many question the ability of the entertainment industry to achieve continual success. Several factors, some of which can be controlled and others which cannot, need to be taken into consideration.
　　A failing economy can have a drastic affect on the movie industry. It cannot be controlled and often is difficult to anticipate given the normal fluctuations. When budgets are tight, consumers spend less and eliminate unnecessary goods and services. Lowest on the priority list are expenditures for entertainment, which includes trips to the movie theatre as well as rentals. Families who once excited over the newest releases find other low cost or free means of enjoyment. No industry is recession proof and economic downturn can be devastating in any sector.
　　Advances in technology can also impact success of the movie industry. Evolution of computer technology and the internet change the way movies are produced and distributed. Consumers are becoming used to instant gratification and having the world at their fingertips. The entertainment industry must keep pace with the ever changing technology in order to stay competitive and attract customers.
　　If film makers continue to produce quality films on a regular basis it may help to ensure continued success of the movie industry. People flock to theatres for several reasons. Movie previews draw in eager crowds wanting to be first to see the newest releases. But an even better incentive than that, is the joy found in watching a great movie with a group of people. And the feeling you have when leaving the theatre, realizing you have just witnessed the birth of a classic. Or it may simply be the stirring of emotions from a touching movie that pulled at your heartstrings, an action flick that kept you on the edge of your seat, or a comedy that made you laugh so hard your stomach hurt.
　　Great films will keep the film industry alive and successful in the 21st century and beyond.

Natasha Richardson Dies After Skiing Accident

Actress Natasha Richardson has died after a skiing accident in Mont Tremblant ski resort in Quebec. The accident happened on Monday while Richardson was taking a private skiing lesson.
According to reports, Richardson fell during a lesson on a beginners' slope, but initially felt unaffected by the incident. About an hour after she was returned to her hotel room, however, she complained of headaches. She was taken to Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe and later moved to Montreal's larger Sacré-Coeur hospital. On Tuesday she was transferred again to Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhatten. She passed away in the hospital on Wednesday, apparently from head injuries sustained in the accident.
After Richardson’s death was made public, Neeson’s publicist, Alan Nierob released the following statement.
"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
Richardson, aged 45, was the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and late film director Tony Richardson. She is said to have been named after the heroine in Leo Tolstoy's 'War and Peace'. She was married to actor Liam Neeson and had two sons, Michael, 13, and Daniel Jack, 12. Her sister, Joely Richardson, has appeared in the TV series Nip/Tuck.
Natasha Richardson was a prolific theatre, television and film actress. She trained at London's Central School of Speech and Drama and did her first professional stage work at the Leeds Playhouse in 1983. In 1986 she earned the London Theatre Critics Award for Most Promising Newcomer in a production of Chekhov’s 'The Seagull'. Her work in theatre later earned her Tony, Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk Awards. Her film roles included A Month in the Country, The Handmaid's Tale, The Comfort of Strangers,Nell, Maid in Manhattan, The Parent Trap and Wild Child. Among her television credits were Granada’sThe Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (with Jeremy Brett) and the PBS drama Suddenly Last Summer.
The staff at CinemaSpy would like to offer their condolences to Liam Neeson and his family after this tragedy.

Carrie Fisher Dares To Bear!

The actress who played the feisty Princess Leia in Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jediis now helping with a different fight. Carrie Fisher, who recently starred in an autobiographical one-woman show called "Wishful Drinking", has loaned her likeness to a teddy bear for the annual Broadway Bears auction, the proceeds of which benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
The auction, which is an annual event, is scheduled to take place on February 14, 2010. Fans of both Carrie Fisher and 'Star Wars' may find the bear to be an ideal piece of memorabilia: Its wig is a reproduction of Fisher’s classic Princess Leia hairdo, which has appeared on numerous products over the years, including a PEZ dispenser and shampoo bottles. Other details include midnight blue silk pajamas cut from remnants of Fisher’s original Broadway garments, as well as the actress’ autograph under one of the bear’s sandals.
Fisher, who will forever be linked to the "Cinnamon Bun" hairstyle of Star Wars and the metal bikini worn by Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi, also appeared in such films as 1980’s The Blues Brothers. She also adapted her own 1987 semi-autobiographical novel Postcards from the Edge for the 1990 movie directed by Mike Nichols. More recently, Fisher rescued the Masturbating Bear from Late Night with Conan O’Brien, after the host attempted to encase the recurring sketch character in carbonite, a la Han Solo inThe Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi.
If you can’t make it to New York City in February, you can still bid online up until the auction date by visitingBidding For Good. Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is among the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. Since 1988, BC/EFA has drawn on the American theatre community to raise over $175M for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the country.

Zack Snyder is Getting Gamey

According to Variety, Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) has signed a deal to develop three original games for Electronic Arts.
Snyder will work with EA's Los Angeles studio in Playa Vista to produce his games. EA will own the intellectual properties, but under the deal the publisher may turn some or all of them into films that will be produced by Snyder's Cruel & Unusual Films banner, which is run by the director with co-president Deborah Snyder and producer Wesley Coller.
"Zack Snyder has a fresh and bold creative style that resonates with our core audience," EA Games label president Frank Gibeau said in a statement.
Snyder is joining a small group of Hollywood helmers who produce video games that aren't adaptations of their own films, including Steven Spielberg, John Woo and Peter Jackson.

Shatner Slighted Over Exclusion from Takei Wedding

Last month, Star Trek actor George Takei — who played Enterprise helmsman Sulu — and his long-time partner Brad Altman were married in California. William Shatner claims he was not invited to the ceremony. And Shatner is apparently miffed about the whole thing.
In a video posted on Shatner's Web site last week, he lashed out at Takei for being excluded from the Takei-Altman nuptials. According to Shatner, his former helmsman harbors a grudge against the former Enterprise captain."The whole thing makes me feel badly," Shatner said in the video. "Poor man. There is such a sickness there. It's so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don't know what his original thing about me was. I have no idea."
Shatner said he felt he never knew Takei when they worked together on the original TV series and later in the Star Trek films.The Boston Legal star also attacked Takei's decision to come out of the closet later in life, saying "Who cares? Be gay. Don't be gay. That's up to you, George."Meanwhile, according to the AP, Star Trek alums Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig — who played Uhura and Chekhov, respectively — were among the attendees at the multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum.
Takei and Altman had previously stated that Shatner was invited to their wedding, but he never RSVPed."It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend," Takei responded. "It is our hope that at this point he joins us in voting no on Proposition 8, which seeks to eliminate the fundamental right for same-sex couples to marry in California."
